Kristen Kykuye Hirashima

Shebby Hirashima LLP represented me during my divorce last year, and based on my experience I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a family law firm. From my first conversation with David, I knew that I would be well represented and that I could trust the firm to handle my divorc...e in a dignified manner. Kristen ultimately represented me, and she did so not only with the highest level of professionalism and integrity, but with the empathy and compassion befitting my situation. She was respectful not only towards me, but towards my husband as well. Kristen kept my best interest in mind every step of the way, never losing sight of the fact that I cared deeply for my husband and wanted to treat him fairly and justly. He chose not to engage an attorney so on a couple of occasions, he had to reach out to Kristen and her team directly for clarification e.g. on information that was being requested of him and in these instances they treated him with respect and dignity. My sincerest appreciation to the entire team at Shebby Hirashima, and in particular to Kristen for her guidance and for being a trusted advisor to me during a very difficult time in my life.

I worked with Kristen over an extremely challenging divorce and custody battle, which resulted in a grueling trial. I am so grateful I had Kristen on my side because she is so scrupulous in her work, down to the smallest of details. She worked tirelessly for me. She gave me the strength and the ...guidance to make the right decisions and ultimately, we won my case. She was there to keep me on track and give me the courage and support to move forward in what seemed like an endless battle. Kristen truly cares about her clients. She gets to know you and understand what is important to you so that she can fight for you and get you the best possible outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kristen to anyone in need of a lawyer. I am eternally grateful to her for what she did for me and my family.

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.
