Brianne L. O. Wong Leong is one of the managing partners of Wong Leong Cuccia, LLLC. A native Hawaiian originally from Maui (graduating with Honors from St. Anthony Jr.-Sr. High School in 1997), she earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree with Distinction from the University of Hawaii – Manoa in 2001 and earned her Juris Doctor graduating Cum Laude from the William S. Richardson Law School in Honolulu in 2005.
Ms. Wong Leong began her law career in civil litigation while still in law school, employed with two litigation firms in Honolulu. Thereafter, she moved back home to Maui, working for a few prominent litigation attorneys as well as one of Maui’s larger law firms, prior to starting WLCHi.
Ms. Wong Leong’s thirst for knowledge did not end after law school. She has served on the board for the Maui County Bar Association as the Chair of the Continuing Legal Education Committee for several years. She is now currently a member of the Maui Family Bench Bar Planning Committee; a committee which meets with the Second Circuit Family Court to discuss ongoing legal issues arising in the Second Circuit Family Court and to plan legal education seminars for the Maui Family Bar. Ms. Wong Leong has also been trained in mediation and collaborative law. Divorce and separation from a loved one does not always have to be litigated in the courtroom. The best solutions, especially in cases involving children, are often ones that both parties have participated in by agreement.
Ms. Wong Leong specializes in complex family law matters, and is often specifically recommended by other attorneys across the state in cases involving parties with high net worth who own multiple properties, are involved in businesses or joint ventures, cases involving jurisdiction disputes such as the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act, cases involving attorneys from other states and countries, and other complicated family matters.
