Deep Island Roots, World View
Our firm traces its roots back to 1963 when Frank Damon and Henry Shigekane founded a unique law firm. The ethnic and cultural mix inherent in our firm’s origin has continued as we have grown and is reflected by our ability to offer clients services in such languages as Japanese, and Mandarin, in addition to English.

At Damon Key, we think that firms are best judged by their people. Ours are committed, energetic and enthusiastic. We relish challenges. We temper intelligence and determination with wisdom conferred by a healthy sense of humor, a variety of experiences and a worldview that includes devotion to community and friends. Our firm attracts some of the freshest, brightest talents in law.
Since our beginning over 50 years ago, we have remained first and foremost creative, cost-effective problem solvers. We have over two dozen attorneys who offer a wide range of services for our clients. We have deep roots in the islands’ communities, evidenced by the wide range of professional and service organizations in which our attorneys participate.
