Shelley W. Akamatsu

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!

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!

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!!!

I thought at the beginning of my divorce my life I was accustomed too was over. She provided guidance, compassion, and hope. She was wonderful with all the ups and downs of emotions that comes with a first divorce and was my voice when I didn’t have one. She worked with me financially, legally, and g...ave me the strength to find my self worth. I can never repay her what she has given me. I wouldn’t hire anyone else in the future, for my legal affairs. God sent me an Angel in my darkest hour, named Shelley Akamatsu.
