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 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.

During a time when my life seemed like it was spiraling out of control, Kristen was a pillar of steadiness. With her warm and diligent guidance, I was able to navigate appropriately. Kristen is guided by a moral compass that is evident in the way she treats her clients. I am so grateful for her gui...dance during a difficult transitional period of my life.
