The seeds were initially planted by teachers and friends who thought the fit would be ideal given his demeanor and passion for academics. According to Casey, like Liam Neeson’s character in the movie ”Taken,“ lawyers have a ”particular set of skills“ that enable them to provide a service to clients that no one else can. ”To take what I know and apply it to our clients’ situations in order to help them achieve a satisfactory result is very gratifying.“ Casey was born and raised in Hawaii and graduated from Moanalua High School, magna cum laude. He attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he earned a B.A. in Psychology, with a minor in American Studies, cum laude. He lives in Honolulu and enjoys cooking, running, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
