Kristen Jeanne Ishihara

I was lost, but found the solution. There were many questions and uncertainties when faced with having to figure out what to do about elderly parents affairs. It was recommended, from our wonderful hospice nurse Holly at Heritage Hospice, that Kristen could clarify a lot of the questions we had. During the free consultation it was clear that Kristen and her team would be needed to help us out. Always professional and a pleasure to talk to even through tough times. From the front desk to Kamekia up to Kristen all were there to help in anyway possible. I would highly recommend this team for any of their services. Thank you so very much to Kristen and her crew.

Kristen and her team were fabulous to work with. We had a complex situation and even further complicated by the fact I was in a different state. Kristen and her team handled all of the paperwork seamlessly and efficiently. They kept me informed throughout the filing process.

Kristen Ishihara represents me in a guardianship. During our initial consultation I was very impressed by Kristen’s knowledge and her experience with elder law. Kristen explained the process, what was needed, and how she could help. All of this made hiring her an easy decision. Kristen has been great to work with. She communicates clearly and is very responsive. Guardianship is very complicated but Kristen has always provided me the guidance I needed. I have always felt that I am very well represented and I have complete confidence in Kristen and her staff.

Kristen Ishihara will forever stand out as someone that took the bull by the horns and made a difficult time much easier for me. I was literally able to give her the materials she asked for, and she took them and made what needed to happen for my mother happen. At any time during the process I felt overwhelmed and doubtful, all I had to do was send her a text or email, and she would answer almost immediately. Her answers ALWAYS calmed my fears. Kristen is very confident in her actions and that was exactly what I needed during our dealings together. I have never felt so taken care of as there was never any waiting time. She moves quickly and efficiently. I so highly recommend Kristen Ishihara to anyone facing elder care needs. She is highly knowledgeable and proactive. I trust her 100%.

Kristen was very helpful in guiding me in the right direction with setting me up in a guardian role to my youngest brother. She recommended setting me up as a POA over the stringent controls required with a full guardianship.

Kristen listened well to my situation and provided the help I needed at the time. I am very pleased with Kristens work and will continue to work with her.

Needed help having my wife put on Medicaid for assisted living. Kristen immediately made me feel at ease and was very understanding and compassionate about my situation. I felt relieved in knowing she would take over my case and completely follow through from start to finish. She impressed me with her knowledge and complete understanding of procedure to achieve what was needed to put me at complete ease in a very professional way.

Kristen Ishihara knows her law. She helped my husband and me with our estate documents swiftly and accurately. She is extremely easy to talk to, is very personable, is quick to respond to calls and questions and speaks to you with respect and in a way you can easily understand your issues. Our estate documents were neatly organized in a personalized 3-ring binder notebook and we were also given the documents on a flash drive. I highly recommend Mrs. Ishihara.

Kristen is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She told us approx. how long it would take to obtain my Cousins Medicaid and it was close to that time when it did happen. Any questions that I email her with she almost immediately responds to them. Would recommend her to anyone with out hesitation.

I hired Kristen Ishihara as my attorney and she was awesome. Her staff was excellent. Her assistant Kamekia was wonderful they took care of the things I asked and went above and beyond the things I asked her to do. You can’t go wrong with Kristen I highly recommend her. She took all the worries off of me.

Kristen was wonderful to me and guided me through this complicated process. My mother was approved on the first try! I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so!

I hired Kristen for elder care planning regarding my Mother's Estate, consulted with her about Trusts, and she completed Wills for both my husband and me. During each time of need, she listened, was specific about what she needed from me to do what I asked for, and worked quickly to successfully complete each request. She walked me through each step of elder care planning and our Wills, answering all questions and was easily accessible for office visits, phone calls and emails. Recently, Kristen completed everything needed for a Trust, which I requested, but then decided I did not want to do it at that time. She was more than willing to change directions and complete a Will instead, not requiring additional money despite doing all the work to set up the requested Trust. Mrs. Ishihara is not the only attorney I have used over the last 30 year, but she is the only one I will hire again should the need arise. She listened, cared, is educated regarding needs various needs of older people, has reasonable fees and always wanted to be sure I understood different avenues to complete my ultimate objectives. She is an exceptional attorney and person: she works diligently to please and she cares about her clients individual needs.

Ms. Kristen took time to explain the process that we were interested in no matter the number of questions that we had. She and her staff were and are quick to respond to our questions and/or concerns.

Kristen is wonderful! She has helped me every step of the way with my mother-in-law's needs as well as the direction to take when my wife passed away. She brought me solace and comfort knowing that I could trust her insight and knowledge of the law.

Kristen Ishihara with Ross & Shoalmire, L.L.P. was a true pleasure and blessing to have work on my brother’s estate. Kristen is knowledgeable, professional and responsive and great at keeping you informed at every step. Kristen had to work through some difficult and challenging estate issues. She was able to resolve title difficulties for both buyer and seller on real property asset sales, as well as settling outstanding debts. She did a great job in assisting to locate, secure and handle the transactions for selling estate assets. Kristen responded to all my inquiries quickly and provided clear and easy to understand responses. At first having to deal with probate seemed like it would present a lot of difficulties, however, after having worked with Kristen Ishihara, I can say I do not know how we could have gotten through it all without her expertise and skill. Our family is truly very grateful to Kristen for settling and resolving the estate. Cathy H
