growing up on maui

Jacob was born and raised in upcountry Maui, growing up in the Haiku valley once infamously known as the Banana Patch, a counter-culture community sold to Jacob’s father Philip Lowenthal in the early 1970s.

Jacob’s rugged upbringing in what he calls “the ditch”–romping through bamboo forests and catching crawfish in a nearby stream–was juxtaposed by his father’s demands. Jacob and his brother Benjamin were taught to “use their words” instead of their fists, and how to think critically. Looking back, Jacob can appreciate how he was taught to think: “He raised us the only way he knew how–like lawyers.”

Jacob met Erin–his wife and co-founder/managing partner of Lowenthal & Lowenthal–in law school. After convincing her to move back to his hometown, he and Erin established Lowenthal & Lowenthal as one of Maui’s most premier law firms.

Jacob and Erin have two children, Jack and Lily. They live a stone’s throw away from where Jacob grew up.

Unwavering Commitment

When Jacob is your attorney, he will do everything possible to ensure your case is maximized to it's fullest extent and potential. He will keep you informed of every development, every step of the way, and make sure you understand the whole process.
