Shelley W. Akamatsu

I just wanted to help the people in very tough situation and in uncertain condition of their life. I know the pain and uncertainty in identifying a right attorney which is the most important step during this period. My case is an unique of it's kind and a complex one. I can’t express my painful situa...tion when I initially contacted and met Shelley, honestly there are no words. I was in completely uncertain condition and pro se and nearing the due date to respond to the court for a petition from my ex. That was when I met Shelly. She was very kind, patient and discussed all the case background in detail. Immediately after that she started working and clearly defined the path to an amazing outcome of the case in detail. I can’t imagine where I am today and for sure it would not have happened without Shelley. She is very talented, patient, well organized and extremely dedicative. I could just forget about my case as it was in her hands. She was always used to be very proactive, responsive and taken care of all of my case beyond an attorney and helped me to bring me to the situation where I am today. She is very unique attorney for such a reasonable fee. For sure she deserves multiple times higher fee than what she actually charges for her work and that too with no compromise on the work that she does. I am sure her intention is to do the service to the community for a nominal fee and so she is helping the community like that, otherwise it’s impossible to get such a great attorney with that much of high quality work. One can just pick Shelley as one’s attorney when in need without doing any research. Lastly one most important point: Due to some personal constraints, she had to take break from her work, but my case was seriously in progress. The day when I heard about her withdrawal news, I was almost like collapsed with that news. But she transitioned very very smoothly and carefully, and made me feel like I am completely safe and after that only, she withdrew from the case. During this process, I could not think of her dedication and sincerity in making sure that she referred and transferred my case to the best attorney, transferred all my case documents, expressed her interest to provide all case details as and when needed to later attorney and made sure that the transfer happened very carefully and smoothly and after that only, she exited from my case. Just because of her and my later attorney, I am living my life peacefully today, otherwise I can’t even imagine my situation. I appreciate all your help, Shelley and I don’t have any words to convey my sincere thanks to you. You literally saved me completely. Anybody in need, please don’t waste time and money in searching multiple attorneys. Contact Shelly right away and if she is available and accepts your case, then I am sure you are the luckiest person and will be placed at the safe place finally.

Shelley helped me through a very contentious and emotionally abusive divorce. She took the time to understand what my priorities were and was patient in explaining legal processes and likely outcomes. At times things became very tense due to actions by my ex and Shelley was always very responsive, un...derstanding and quick to take action to resolve issues. I would highly recommend Shelley for people needing a capable and relatable lawyer for their divorce and custody battles.

Shelley was amazing to work with through my divorce! I had a unique situation and she listened, heard, and I felt not judged at all. Even when I was second guessing my divorce she was patient and understanding while also telling me my legal options. My divorce involved custody of minors as well as a... household residence. She was able to get me exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her.

Shelley took the victimization out of divorce and was real and personable. She was warm, thorough and played as a perfect advocate for me in which I will forever be grateful for. This was my first experience with divorce and I was very apprehensive and uneducated in everything. She set my mind at ea...se and handled everything to a “T”. It was conceived by her a perfect, customized financial split between myself and my (ex) partner, and I was amazed at the spreadsheet she presented to accommodate the both of us that made perfect sense, and might I say, to the dollar. My husband at the time didn’t seek out an attorney and I feel that she supported his security too. Shelley is so wise, and I feel that the judge who signed the final papers realized that her numbers and reasoning made perfect sense. Please reach out to Shelley Akumatsu if you need the help. You will love and appreciate her. A friend recommended her to me and I am so very thankful, as there are many attorneys out there to try and choose from. She takes the cake, I promise you. She’s a wonderful person in general, and you’d never guess that she deals with the law if you were to meet her on the street. 5 perfect stars is what I rate her.
