So grateful Shelley represented me

I am beyond grateful for Shelley and the incredible work she did on my behalf at Akamatsu Law PLLC. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to fight for me and protect my interests and properties. She handled my divorce through mediation in under six months, which felt like a miracle during s...uch a stressful time. Shelley is both kind and assertive—a rare and powerful combination. She is compassionate, encouraging, and always took the time to support me when I felt overwhelmed and hopeless. Her guidance gave me strength and confidence throughout the process. I truly felt seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone going through a divorce who wants an attorney who genuinely cares and delivers results.

Trusted Advocate During a Difficult Divorce

She was incredibly helpful, clear, concise, and professional through what became a long, drawn-out, and high-conflict divorce. From the very beginning, she took the time to explain the process in a way that was easy to understand and helped me make informed decisions during an emotionally difficult ...time. He r guidance was steady and strategic, and she consistently kept my goals -- and my children's best interests -- at the forefront. Thanks to her skillful negotiation and sound judgment, she was able to keep me out of court as much as possible, which saved both time and stress. Even when it initially seemed unlikely, she successfully ensured that I obtained a fair 50/50 custody ar rangement. I truly appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and calm approach under pressure. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing a challenging divorce and looking for an attorney who is both effective and compassionate.
