Best lawyer I could have asked for!

I spoke to many lawyers, Shelley was the one that made me feel she was going to do her very best to help protect my daughter and get the best possible outcome for her. And we did! She really knows what she is doing. My situation was a bit unique with multiple states involved. I was also trying to rec...over from some trauma from the other party while going through this custody battle. Shelley cares and was a calming and reasonable voice to me many times throughout my anxiety in this case. She would take unplanned phone calls and stay on the phone with me until I felt better about what was happening in the case through our conversations. I was losing hope for a while and filled with fear but Shelley got us exactly what we were asking for without even having to go to trial. Now me and my family have so much peace in knowing things are okay and it is settled. I will forever be grateful for her!

She goes above and beyond!

Shelly was recommended to me by another attorney. Unfortunately, my husband and I were in the middle of our custody case and a trial date was already set on a day she wasn’t available. However, she spoke with me on the phone for 15 minutes and gave me SO MUCH helpful information. She didn’t have to d...o that. She gave me the ins and outs of who she would recommended for our specific situation. By the end of our call I felt so confident! I was just disappointed that she couldn’t be our attorney because she was so upbeat and awesome! Thanks to her we found an attorney that has been so incredibly helpful to us and is a night and day difference from our previous law firm. Thank you Shelly!

A Calm Voice in a Stormy Sea

During a stressful time managing a difficult situation with the possibility of a change in custody, Ms. Akamatsu was a positively significant and balancing force. Not only was she referred by one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state, she proved her considerable mettle by helping me nav...igate through the storm with calm and precision. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and in fact have done so to other friends.
