Shelley W. Akamatsu

Shelley was immediately compassionate, non judgmental, direct in a loving safe manner. She was easily able to relate and made sure I felt supported as I’ve navigated my divorce and custody issues alone without support. I needed to know if I had been taken advantage of through my divorce process whi...le I was in the throes of alcoholism. We talked about what was good and a gift I was given for now and talked about what we can talk about down the road in my recovery and as I am granted more and more custody until I am 50/50 with my ex husband!

Shelley was amazing in providing good feedback and helping me compromise on the hard decision in my custody arrangement. No one ever expects to go through this. I’m thankful I was recommended to her and she was very supportive in making me feel comfortable and happy with the outcome of the agreement....

Shelley was amazing throughout my entire divorce and custody case. She thoroughly explained everything that was going on. She was always available if I had a question or needed anything. She was very timely and professional and she was also very friendly and always helped me to stay positive. I would... highly recommend Shelley to anyone!

After years of dealing with a difficult ex spouse i finally decided to get a lawyer. After reading through multiple reviews and offices I chose Shelley. Not only has she been the most helpful and wonderful attorney you could possibly imagine, she has also been able to talk me through tough times and ...It feels more like talking to a friend than a lawyer. Shelley has helped me gain back more time with my son and I finally feel like I have a voice. Throughout the whole process I have gotten weekly updates and incredible communication. Shelley has been incredibly reasonable with fees. I will recommend her to anyone for the rest of my life.
