Attorney Margaret Wille
For over 40 years, Margaret has devoted her vision and skill to pursuing justice, working together with her associates and clients to achieve successful legal outcomes and eliminate injustice whenever possible
Margaret has experience in the courtroom and handling administrative matters; negotiating complex settlements, lobbying and drafting legislation and regulations. Whenever possible, she seeks to achieve an exemplary negotiated outcome. Margaret works closely with each client and with the affected community in public interest matters and environmental and social justice cases.
Margaret has practiced law since 1979. After graduating from Antioch School of Law in Washington, D.C., she interned with Justice Spottswood Robinson III, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. She was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar in 1979 (inactive), the State of Maine Bar in 1981, and the State of Hawaii in 2006.
Margaret is a long-time community activist. She has taken on numerous legal battles against State/County governments and powerful corporations to preserve and protect the environment and community interests. For example, on behalf of the Waimea community, she successfully pursued a legal action to require the County of Hawaii to enforce the requirement in the Parker Ranch Rezoning Ordinance to construct the Ala Ohia connector road and walking corridor to relieve traffic in Waimea Center.

From 2012 to 2016, Margaret was on the County Council for Hawaii County representing District 9, which included North Kohala and much of South Kohala. During that time, she led efforts to decrease pollution on Hawaii Island, increase recycling and green waste collection for compost, promote mass transit and alternative transportation modes, increase accountability of elected officials and decrease corruption, and eliminate tax loopholes that were resulting in higher taxes for everyone else.
