The firm was founded in 2017 by Clare Hanusz, a passionate advocate for immigrants in Hawaii who was recognized as one of the state’s top experts in asylum law and policy. Hanusz, who studied political science and Latin American studies at Ohio University before attending the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii, dedicated her career to representing immigrants, including victims of labor trafficking. After her passing in February 2023, Melissa Vincenty, a longtime colleague and friend from law school, assumed leadership of the firm. Vincenty, a senior U.S. attorney and registered Australian migration agent, brings over 20 years of experience in migration law and has represented victims of human trafficking and refugees. The firm continues to operate with the same client dedication and compassionate approach that defined Hanusz’s practice. An endowed scholarship in Hanusz’s honor has been established at UH-Manoa’s William S. Richardson School of Law.
