"Modern Hawaii real estate law is actually based on the Great Mahele of 1848, involving land titles originating in royal patents, grants and land commission awards from the 1800s. One of the biggest recent trends I've noticed is the creation of small condominiums which don't change land use or require construction, but rather change the form of land ownership in ways that provide people who otherwise might not be able to afford their property the opportunity to stay in their homes."

With over 40 years dedicated to law, Mr. Richman brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry and in particular to his area of specialization, real estate law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in this specialization, Mr. Richman said:

"In Massachusetts, I was a trial lawyer going to court most days and I wasn't particularly delighted to have such limited control of my work schedule. When I moved to Maui, I was determined to be very selective about my litigation commitments so that I, rather than a judge, could decide when I had to work. I did not want to miss a good day riding waves because I was stuck in court. In my early days on Maui, I mostly represented professional athletes and businesses in the windsurfing industry and rarely entered a courtroom."

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Richman specializes in real estate and business consultations, transactions, and development, along with contract drafting and negotiation. The nuances of real estate law in Hawaii are quite different from mainland real estate law, and in many ways, a thorough understanding of Hawaii real estate law is a challenge in itself. Many of the laws pertaining to real estate in Hawaii, he notes, stem from the unique history of the island:

"Modern Hawaii real estate law is actually based on the Great Mahele of 1848, involving land titles originating in royal patents, grants and land commission awards from the 1800s.One of the biggest recent trends I've noticed is the creation of small condominiums which don't change land use or require construction, but rather change the form of land ownership in ways that provide people who otherwise might not be able to afford their property the opportunity to stay in their homes."

Mr. Richman has served as founder and president of the Jewish Congregation of Maui and the Maui Kite-Surfing Community, president of the Pacific Primate Center and the Kalama School Band Boosters. He has also served as vice-president of the Haiku Community Association, as a referee in High School wrestling, and a coach and referee in youth soccer. Mr. Richman is now an avid kitesurfer and has three children, two of whom have been inspired by his love of the wind and waves to become professional kitesurfers themselves.
