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 retained Kristen Hirashima for my divorce after my previous attorney kept dropping balls on various settlement issues and was not organized. Once Kristen took charge, she was in control from the very beginning. She was well organized, answered all my questions patiently, and never asked me to repea...t facts more than once which was not the case with my previous attorneys. Kristen's firm provided me with a CPA to work with as well. Kristen and the CPA had a wonderful working relationship and I felt I was well understood and taken care of by both. Kristen made time and calls at odd hours even if she was under the weather. This firm's strategy was unique and looked at my case from a different angle which resulted in a positive result.  I highly recommend Shebby Hirashima team as divorce lawyers. 

Going through a divorce was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. You really do lose a part of you whether emotional, financial or most often both. I was such an emotional wreck when it happened to me, and I could write pages of how I was wronged and betrayed. At times, I was out for blood and ...others I was so vulnerable. I had no clear path, even if I had I would not have taken it. That’s where Kristen Hirashima came in to protect me when I was at my most vulnerable, the lowest point of my life! I was referred to her firm by a highly respected corporate lawyer that represents our Company. Her diligence was incomparable. I am truly thankful for her taking care of me. While she took care of my finances, I could focus on myself getting well again. I remember telling her what was important to me, and she took care of it! Literally, I got 100% of everything I wanted. She was so firm, so direct and so wise with the opposing party. Kristen was so efficient, we always kept waiting on the opposing party because of the delays on their end. I really appreciated her beeing always so easily reachable, always only a call away. In the end, after the divorce was finalized, she returned money from the retainer I had given, total honesty! It’s not often I say this, it’s not often that you get to meet your hero, but I can honestly tell you Kristen you’re my hero! Thank you for protecting me at my lowest.

I had the fortunate opportunity to be referred to Kristen Hirashima in 2013. After our initial meeting, I knew that she had the experience, knowledge, and professionalism that I needed to support me through my divorce. Kristen always kept me informed, followed up on a timely basis and provided me a...dvice when I was unsure. Kristen is definitely an attorney that helped me through a tough experience with her expertise.

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.
