Jonathan Kam

Honolulu Landlord & Eviction Attorney

Jonathan Kam is a Honolulu landlord and eviction attorney who represents landlords, property owners, and real estate investors in eviction, summary possession, lease enforcement, and landlord-tenant disputes throughout Hawaiʻi. His practice is intentionally focused on landlord-side representation, allowing clients to receive guidance grounded in Hawaiʻi landlord-tenant law and local court procedure.

Mr. Kam concentrates his practice on matters arising under Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes Chapters 521 and 666, including evictions (summary possession actions), lease violations, holdover tenancies, possession disputes, and compliance-related landlord issues. He regularly assists landlords facing nonpayment of rent, refusal to vacate, material lease breaches, and other situations where recovery of lawful possession requires careful adherence to statutory and procedural requirements.

After earning his Juris Doctor from the University of California Hastings College of the Law (now UC Law San Francisco), Mr. Kam worked as an associate at multiple well-known litigation firms in California. He also gained courtroom experience clerking for the Honorable A. James Robertson II at the San Francisco Superior Court, where he worked on complex civil litigation matters. Following several years of practice in California, Mr. Kam moved back to Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, where he established his law practice with a focus on landlord-tenant law and property-related disputes.

Mr. Kam is licensed to practice law in Hawaiʻi, California, and Oregon. While his practice is based in Honolulu, he represents landlords throughout Oʻahu and assists clients on neighboring islands on a case-by-case basis. Clients frequently seek his services as a landlord attorney or eviction lawyer in Hawaiʻi when experience with Hawaiʻi-specific statutes, District Court procedures, and compliance requirements is critical.

Landlord-tenant matters in Hawaiʻi are technical and time-sensitive. Mr. Kam takes a compliance-first, risk-aware approach to representation, with emphasis on proper notice, accurate service, correct timing, and strategic case positioning. His goal is not merely to file actions, but to help landlords move matters forward lawfully, efficiently, and with reduced risk of delay or dismissal.

Prospective clients are asked to begin with a secure online intake form so that eviction, summary possession, lease enforcement, or possession-related issues can be reviewed carefully before any action is taken. This process allows Mr. Kam to assess eligibility for representation and provide clear guidance tailored to the specific facts of each matter.

Jonathan Kam practices on behalf of landlords and property owners. Tenant-side representation is not provided.
