More details to this question:
My husband has a date next month. May not make it due to working off shore. And, we live on the mainland. He is suing a moped shop. He dropped it off for repairs. Paid them $200. Went to pick up, wasn't there. They gave it to 'someone'.

I'm sure there are Hawaiian lawyers who will appear for you, but it may not be worth it to pay them for a small claims case. More important, all the lawyers can do is adjourn the date. Your husband is going to have to testify in order to prove his case. The lawyers aren't witnesses to the facts, and no one else (other than the defendant) would have personal knowledge.
