BillyB, I would venture to say Oahu has a better selection in this field. First two that comes to mind is Michael Green, and/or Rick Fried.
It is my understanding, these kinds of cases could work on a contingency basis, with no money "up front"; they only get paid if they win. Both of these lawyers, if they take the case (if the case is "solid"), would work on contingency basis. Be advised, they will ask for up to 40% (contigency fee) of any settlement (or more). That fee is also negotiable. Both are a "double edged sword", as their reputation depends on who you ask. However, their records do speak for themselves, and you have to kind of "like" your attorney (personal preference, comfort level, etc.).
Hope this helps, and I know there are others out there, but only had personal (ohana) experience with these two in Hawai'i.
