Vincent Raboteau

Mr. Raboteau grew up on O’ahu and is licensed to practice law in the State of Hawai’i and the State of Washington. Before earning his Bachelor of Arts Degree in American Studies from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, he spent ten years serving in the United States Air Force and Hawai’i Air National Guard as a tactical aircraft mechanic on F-15 fighter jets. His experience as an aircraft mechanic gives Mr. Raboteau an advantage in understanding technical material and simplifying it to his clients. Mr. Raboteau began clerking for Grotefeld Hoffmann in 2014 and earned his law degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 2015. After graduating from law school, Mr. Raboteau worked as an associate for the firm’s Portland office where he focused on large loss property subrogation, construction defect, and product liability matters.

Mr. Raboteau moved back home to Hawai’i in 2018 and worked as a staff attorney for Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation (NHLC) where he focused his advocacy handling complex litigation related to Native Hawaiian rights law. He represented clients in historic property and burial site preservation, government leases, protection of traditional and customary practices, and complicated boundary disputes. Mr. Raboteau then went on to practice family law where he represented clients in contentious divorce proceedings involving child custody disputes, complicated property division, and domestic violence. He represented both plaintiffs and defendants in TRO proceedings with a track record of settling disputed before going to trial. Most recently, Mr. Raboteau returned to subrogation when he joined Grotefeld Hoffmann to open its Honolulu office.

In his free time, Mr. Raboteau enjoys hiking and going to the beach with his wife and kids.
