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!

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%.

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.

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.

Highly Recommend

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
