In Memoriam 1938 - 2013
It is with great sadness that the Carlsmith Ball law firm announces the passing of B. Martin Luna, Administrative Partner in its Maui office. "Martin was one of the finest partners of the firm who demonstrated on a daily basis hard work and total dedication to the firm's clients," said Karl Kobayashi, Chair of Carlsmith Ball.
Luna was born in 1938 in Waimea, Kauai, and attended Waimea High School. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Emory University, and his law degree from George Washington University National Law Center, cum laude. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Luna began practicing law in 1968. He joined Carlsmith Ball in 1985 after managing his own law firm, Ueoka and Luna, in Maui for several years. Luna was a highly regarded real estate and land use attorney on Maui for over forty years, consistently listed in Best Lawyers of America, Hawaii Super Lawyers and Martindale Hubbell as one of the top lawyers in the state.
He was active in many organizations and local Maui community charities including Hawaii Access to Justice (Commissioner), Hawaii State Bar Association (President 1983), Judicial Selection Commission, State of Hawaii, (Chair 1997- 1999), Phi Delta Phi, Pi Sigma Alpha, and Omicron Delta Kappa.
Luna is survived by wife Kay, sons Neal and Dane, daughter Kari Nunokawa, sister Lily Hummel, and six grandchildren.
