In 1995, she was appointed as the first woman to hold the office of Attorney General of Hawaii for a full term.
During her tenure in the Democratic administration of Governor of HawaiiBenjamin J. Cayetano, she won the state a multibillion-dollar Master Settlement Agreement from tobacco companies. In 1997, she led an investigation into abuses by the Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate trustees. She was reappointed to a second term by Cayetano, but her investigation of Bishop Estate trustees caused her to fall out of favor with the Hawaii State Legislature, resulting in her failed confirmation to a second term by the state senate in 1999.[4]: 256–257 [5] She was replaced as Attorney General by Earl I. Anzai, who was formerly budget director.
Bronster then became a founding partner in the Honolulu-based Bronster Crabtree & Hoshibata, now Bronster Fujichaku Robbins.[6] Best Lawyers in America recognized her as 2016 "Lawyer of the Year" in Honolulu, in the practice area of Insurance Litigation.[6]
