Kristen Kykuye Hirashima

I was not an easy client. I am a lawyer myself, so I knew exactly what I was looking for and I brought very high expectations. On top of that, my matter involved my physical safety, so there was a lot on the line for me. Kristen and David rose to the occasion with total grace and confidence. Thei...r representation exceeded everything I had hoped for. We ultimately went to trial – never an enjoyable experience, but in my case, a necessary one. Throughout, David and Kristen’s work product was meticulous. They arrived each day organized and fully prepared, which was incredibly reassuring and gave me the strength to testify with confidence. Fortunately, the outcome was exactly what we all aimed for. It gave me the protection and security to move forward with my life. The most unexpected and perhaps even more rewarding outcome was that I walked away with a higher bar for my own professional standards. They truly inspired me to elevate myself professionally, and be better for my clients. I cannot recommend Kristen and David highly enough.

Kristen represented me in a highly contested custody move away case and spent countless hours with me preparing my declarations and preparing me personally for a trial. She was extremely accessible and honest as I went through a custody evaluation, psych evaluation and trial. Cases, such as mine, in...volving custody of a precious child are very sensitive and emotional and Kristen was extremely supportive through the process, while remaining professional and the legal expert. She provided personal support through the emotionally difficult aspects of litigation and helped me keep focused on the aspects of the case that were legally relevant for success in court. Ultimately Kristen helped me win my case and helped me recover half of my legal fees. If and when I end up in court again relating to custody of my daughter, I will absolutely have Kristen on my case.
