Hilo HI Lawyers

Located on the big island of Hawaii, Hilo is Hawaii's second largest city. It is the county seat of Hawaii County, which encompasses the entire big island. Hilo was struck twice by devastating Tsunamis in 1946 and 1960. These tsunamis changed the makeup of the city and drove development inland, but the city has experienced a modern resurgence in the 1980s and is still a major tourist destination on the big island.

Attorneys in Hilo are currently engaged in a lawsuit attempting to stop a local surf school from opening on Honoli'i bay.  The lawyers, all local surfers, allege that the new school will make the already crowded surf spot unsafe.
