Shelley W. Akamatsu

Shelley was amazing to work with. She is both professional and personable at the same time. I went through a nasty divorce and she helped me navigate the whole process. I was in a position of little recourse. Shelley worked to protect me both financially and emotionally. It was the toughest time of ...my life, but I came through it with dignity. I can never thank her enough.

Shelley came highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine and I was assured she knew the law inside and out! Our divorce was anything but simple and to make matters worse, my husbands attorney we discovered was also his girlfriend. Given the circumstances there were definitely some tough and cha...llenging times. Having Shelley to help me navigate through it all was truly a blessing.She was not only a source of strength when I needed it but was also able to explain things every step of the way. She was extremely thorough and efficient when it came down to my legal rights and advocating for a fare and equitable settlement. Things were always addressed in a professional and timely manner. Aside from the fact that she is 100% on top of her game she is also a wonderful human being. I always felt she had my back and that my fears or concerns along the way were always addressed. My experience with Shelley was fantastic. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing an excellent attorney!

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.

My divorce was and still is the most difficult thing I have ever went through. I did not know where to start to navigate through this emotional rollercoaster. Shelley made it so easy for me. She reviewed my options, explained things in a manner I could understand and most importantly she wanted what ...was best for me and my future. If your going through this difficult time, I highly recommend calling Shelley. She is above professional and listens to your needs and wants.

Savvy, golden and knowledgeable are three words to sum up how great of an attorney Shelly is! I chose her because of her background in being a former prosecuting attorney. That experience alone shows that she can call “BS” on what is on the forefront in her cases. I gained an awesome attorney... in selecting Shelley and a “confidante” that is very genuine and precious and rare in today’s world! She represented me in a property divorce that was lengthy and helped me keep my home and retirement funds. When it came down to almost going to trial she pulled things out clearly and concisely showing that she was prepared to win at a trial against opposing counsel and it all settled out of court. Shelley cares and was driven to create positive results for me! As a client you can tell her you disagree or ask for find another way. She is straight up in saying if something is possible or not and if you are adamant about something she will work diligently to figure out a way to meet your needs. One day she worked all day on my case to rework everything/reinvent new possibilities and it was money well spent by me. She figured it all out and we made a great team! She is all about helping others and not the paycheck. Shelly was very honest and forthright in her billing to me and time spent on my case. I gained an awesome attorney in selecting Shelley and a “confidante” that is very genuine and precious and rare in today’s world! Hire her and no other for positive driven results!!!
