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

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!

Highly knowledgeable and gets the job done!

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 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.

Medicaid Process

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!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
