Hero!

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.

"Having known Kristen for almost 10 years now, I am more than confident in endorsing her partly due to her incredible work product, but more significantly, her outstanding work ethic and ability to navigate very complicated components of law and zealously advocate for her clients. My go-to attorney when someone has a family law issue."

I have complete confidence that she will provide my clients with the best possible outcome for their divorce and/or custody issues. I have had nothing but positive feedback about her. Moreover, she is compassionate about her clients. I've witnessed her working tirelessly to provide a superior result, distinguishing her and earning my clientele."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
