Elder Care

During a time of great stress, Kristen Ishihara was recommended to me as someone who could help navigate the difficulties associated with elder care issues for a family member. From our first meeting, it was obviously apparent that she knew her craft very well and could communicate in ways that help...ed me understand all the aspects associated with my situation. Our relationship grew very rapidly and she became a sincerely trusted counselor. She and her staff helped ease my stress and guided me toward safe and secure decisions that helped lift the burdens of my circumstances. My family member's quality of life was better all because of her. It gives me great pleasure to highly recommend Kristen to anyone dealing with elder care needs. She is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and knows and cares for her clients.

The BEST

As responsible senior adults, my husband and I, have been so grateful and delighted to have Kristen on our side. We want to make sure to leave everything as smooth as possible for our children in the future. Kristen not only has guided us in our retirement plan but has created a trust, estate plann...ing, and all documents related to our end of days but created all these documents to meet our family needs. Our adults' sons and daughter were so delighted with Kristen as we had a zoom call to educate our children on all the documents and processes, they will need to take after our death. All of them stated: "Kristen was not only informative but she was like a member of our family. We felt so at home with her that we were acting up like kids" This is a professional that I highly recommend to anyone. She is an expert in her field, and she makes all the complex details as smooth as some bites of apple pie. I invited you to give her a try!

Review for Mrs. Ishihara

Our family hired Mrs. Ishihara to help with Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Advanced Directive documentation. She and her staff were very helpful throughout the process and continued to answer questions after the death of a family member. I would highly recommend Mrs. Ishihara to anyone who needs... assistance with estate planning needs!

Attentive, Kind and Patient

Kristen is fantastic. The most helpful and compassionate Lawyer we could have asked for. I am 1 of 4 children raised by our father who was in a terrible car accident in November 2016 leaving him mentally incapacitated. With all of the stress and pain of figuring out what next steps to take to help ma...nage our fathers care and assets, she made it easy. Kristen was extremely kind and patient - thoroughly walking us through all of the next steps and options to take. My emails and calls were always returned quickly, even for the smallest of needs. She made this life changing event as smooth as possible and we couldn't have done it without her. Forever thankful for this kind hearted and extremely intelligent woman.

The BEST

Kristen has been a great help to me in obtaining guardianship for my mother, and application for Medicaid for her. It was a great relief to know it was done properly and eased my stress immensely. If you need an attorney for elder care, she is who I recommend!
