Great attorney for Estate Planning

Kristen Ishihara recently drafted the following for my husband and me: 1. Trust 2. Certificate of Trust 3. Funding Instructions 4. Wills 5. GDPOAs (General Durable Powers of Attorney) 6. SDPOAs (Statutory Durable Powers of Attorney) 7. MPOA (Medical Powers of Attorney) 8. Directives to Phy...sicians She was so knowledgeable, efficient and personable and easy to do business with. I feel confident that our estate affairs are in good hands having Kristen for our attorney. You can tell she is very experienced and knows what she is doing. One reason we chose Kristen is that she not only has experience with helping senior clients but she also has experience helping veterans. The peace of mind she gave us is worth the money we paid to have her handle our estate planning.

Kristen J. Ishihara,Elder Law

Kristen is a very knowledgable person who is still eager to learn new facts and new people. She is an active member of the Longview community as well as being active in her church. She guided me thru the process of setting up a trust fund, and gave good advice with alternatives and thus avoided th...e 'pushy' attitude ofsome other lawyers. She teaches as she works with people and is easily understood, and has given several seminars for members of our church.

Best Up and Coming Attorney in East Texas!

Kristen Ishihara is an exceptional attorney! She is very intelligent, determined, and compassionate when it comes to helping her clients. She was able to advise my wife and I on our specific needs and values for estate planning purposes. I value her willingness to serve our community as a city counci...l member and volunteer for numerous non-profit organizations! I would recommend Kristen as a qualified and capable attorney to anyone. We need more young professionals like Kristen Ishihara in our community, because she makes Longview, Texas, a better place! Thank You Kristen!

Exceptional Attorney

I have been a client for over 2 years dealing with my parents' guardianship and finally the probation and execution of their wills. Kristen is more than an excellent attorney she is compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and always available to help, advise and even console. I have always felt at ease ...and confident with Kristen. Each step was exactly what needed to be done and done correctly.
