Results are out for the “Best of West” 2018! Darl C. Gleed & Associates once again won in two categories, Best Law Office and Best Attorney (Darl Gleed). Check out the full report here. We strive to provide aloha you can expect, expertise you can trust, and a family-oriented experience you can count on! We also work hard to proved a practice that contributes in positive ways to our Big Island community. Thank you West Hawaii for your votes!
Darl C. Gleed was honored by the Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) with the 2017 Outstanding Professional Advisor in Philanthropy Award along with 2 other professionals from around the State of Hawaii.
Gleed received the award for his leading example of incorporating philanthropy into his every-day work. Gleed brings in conversations about giving into every estate plan. “Charitable giving may be the most enjoyable part of a person’s estate planning: it brings people a sense of purpose and a sense of commitment to their own community (from this video produced by HCF highlighting Gleed).”
Here is one of three movies produced by HCF for the awards ceremony.
Thank you West Hawaii for voting us the Best Law Office and Darl C. Gleed the Best Attorney in the West Hawaii Today’s “Best of West” awards 2017. We acknowledge that it is a team effort to make our office successful! We strive to give our best to all of our clients, and to contribute in positive ways to our community. Thank you!

We are so happy that Darl C. Gleed and Associates had the opportunity to be one of the sponsors this year for Kapa Radio (100.3fm)‘s Back To School Supply Drive. Anyone who knows Darl and Michelle Gleed, know how much they love and care for children, particularly in our Kona community, and especially those children who find themselves in difficult circumstances. The first day of school is a big deal for children and being able to help all Keiki have a positive start to their school year is such a great cause. Thank you KAPA for organizing this event and all other sponsors and community members that were involved! We would like to send out a “Special Thanks” to our own, Attorney Ivana Bodey, for taking the lead in our firm’s involvement with this drive.
Here are some pictures from Kapa’s facebook page. They had a lot of volunteers including Keiki volunteers which is wonderful! Giving and sharing aloha – that’s what it’s all about! Happy BACK TO SCHOOL time everyone!
