Shelley W. Akamatsu

I originally contacted Shelley Aug 2020. I needed to file for divorce and had no idea what to do. Shelley walked me through the whole process and held my hand through each step. It has taken almost a full year for the divorce to go through, due to the Respondent dragging his feet. Each time there ...was an extension, Shelley would be sure to let the Judge know that we have been very patient and would like to push forward. She also offered advice and gave great direction based on my needs. I have offered her services to anyone else I have come in contact with struggling through the same situation. I absolutely would hire her again as my attorney. I am so thankful I was given Shelley's name and was able to see her in action. Thank you, Shelley for all you did for me!

I hired Shelley after I wrongfully had a protection order filed against me. Shelley came highly recommended by 2 friends of mine and I will continue to pass the word along. She took me on as a client and went to bat for me. She was through and prepped me in case I had to speak in court. She even text... me the night before court to remind me I had done nothing wrong and I would be just fine. She knew the judge and knew how he liked to have things done and she did just that! I can’t thank Shelley enough for going above and beyond and making sure the protection order was dropped! She truly cares about her clients she takes on and is absolutely amazing!

I had a pretty complex situation in my divorce especially during COVID. Being a kind husband I was afraid my situation would not be taken seriously in court or settlement. Shelley fought by my side the whole time and was tough when I couldn't be. My case took some tough turns that were beyond our ...control that made me feel frustrated and helpless at times. Shelley was always there for me to offer her experience and to fight for me to get fair treatment through-out the proceedings. She is kind, truthful, fair, and honest. She was always very fast to respond and reviewed all the documents for me before sending them to me. Shelley was able to find case law for Employee Stock awards and also caught an error in the filed settlement regarding the stock that saved me a lot of money. I recommend her as an attorney that can fight for you and has the experience to deal with your case even if it is difficult like mine.

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.
