Hire Kristen Ishihara to provide guidance on elder care challenges such as nursing home care/Medicaid and assess assets.

Kristen Ishihara listened carefully during our initial meeting to quickly identify why our previous efforts to apply for elder assistance were unsucessful. She applied her broad knowledge of elder law to re-apply and received approval for Medicaid. She also prepared documents that were very helpful... in treating real assets in accordance with available state and federal laws. She prepared new documents to reflect a recent death in the family. She was responsive and prompt in preparing all doucuments and she took time to explain why each document was preapred in the manner it was. Before we engaged Kristen, our progress was slow and painful, but she patiently changed that with a more knowledgeble and experienced approach to elder law issues. Our whole family would give Kristen and her support staff our highest recommendation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
