Power of Attorney

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 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 hesi...tation.

Extremely Good Attorney

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.

You can't go wrong with Kristen

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 com...plete 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.

Kristen has been a great help!

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.
