During a time of great stress, Kristen Ishihara was recommended to me as someone who could help navigate the difficulties associated with elder care issues for a family member. From our first meeting, it was obviously apparent that she knew her craft very well and could communicate in ways that helped me understand all the aspects associated with my situation. Our relationship grew very rapidly and she became a sincerely trusted counselor. She and her staff helped ease my stress and guided me toward safe and secure decisions that helped lift the burdens of my circumstances. My family member's quality of life was better all because of her. It gives me great pleasure to highly recommend Kristen to anyone dealing with elder care needs. She is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and knows and cares for her clients.

As responsible senior adults, my husband and I, have been so grateful and delighted to have Kristen on our side. We want to make sure to leave everything as smooth as possible for our children in the future. Kristen not only has guided us in our retirement plan but has created a trust, estate planning, and all documents related to our end of days but created all these documents to meet our family needs. Our adults' sons and daughter were so delighted with Kristen as we had a zoom call to educate our children on all the documents and processes, they will need to take after our death. All of them stated: "Kristen was not only informative but she was like a member of our family. We felt so at home with her that we were acting up like kids" This is a professional that I highly recommend to anyone. She is an expert in her field, and she makes all the complex details as smooth as some bites of apple pie. I invited you to give her a try!

Our family hired Mrs. Ishihara to help with Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Advanced Directive documentation. She and her staff were very helpful throughout the process and continued to answer questions after the death of a family member. I would highly recommend Mrs. Ishihara to anyone who needs assistance with estate planning needs!

Kristen is fantastic. The most helpful and compassionate Lawyer we could have asked for. I am 1 of 4 children raised by our father who was in a terrible car accident in November 2016 leaving him mentally incapacitated. With all of the stress and pain of figuring out what next steps to take to help manage our fathers care and assets, she made it easy. Kristen was extremely kind and patient - thoroughly walking us through all of the next steps and options to take. My emails and calls were always returned quickly, even for the smallest of needs. She made this life changing event as smooth as possible and we couldn't have done it without her. Forever thankful for this kind hearted and extremely intelligent woman.

Kristen has been a great help to me in obtaining guardianship for my mother, and application for Medicaid for her. It was a great relief to know it was done properly and eased my stress immensely. If you need an attorney for elder care, she is who I recommend!

I was lost, but found the solution. There were many questions and uncertainties when faced with having to figure out what to do about elderly parents affairs. It was recommended, from our wonderful hospice nurse Holly at Heritage Hospice, that Kristen could clarify a lot of the questions we had. During the free consultation it was clear that Kristen and her team would be needed to help us out. Always professional and a pleasure to talk to even through tough times. From the front desk to Kamekia up to Kristen all were there to help in anyway possible. I would highly recommend this team for any of their services. Thank you so very much to Kristen and her crew.

Kristen and her team were fabulous to work with. We had a complex situation and even further complicated by the fact I was in a different state. Kristen and her team handled all of the paperwork seamlessly and efficiently. They kept me informed throughout the filing process.

Kristen Ishihara represents me in a guardianship. During our initial consultation I was very impressed by Kristen’s knowledge and her experience with elder law. Kristen explained the process, what was needed, and how she could help. All of this made hiring her an easy decision. Kristen has been great to work with. She communicates clearly and is very responsive. Guardianship is very complicated but Kristen has always provided me the guidance I needed. I have always felt that I am very well represented and I have complete confidence in Kristen and her staff.

Kristen was very helpful in guiding me in the right direction with setting me up in a guardian role to my youngest brother. She recommended setting me up as a POA over the stringent controls required with a full guardianship.

Kristen Ishihara will forever stand out as someone that took the bull by the horns and made a difficult time much easier for me. I was literally able to give her the materials she asked for, and she took them and made what needed to happen for my mother happen. At any time during the process I felt overwhelmed and doubtful, all I had to do was send her a text or email, and she would answer almost immediately. Her answers ALWAYS calmed my fears. Kristen is very confident in her actions and that was exactly what I needed during our dealings together. I have never felt so taken care of as there was never any waiting time. She moves quickly and efficiently. I so highly recommend Kristen Ishihara to anyone facing elder care needs. She is highly knowledgeable and proactive. I trust her 100%.

Kristen listened well to my situation and provided the help I needed at the time. I am very pleased with Kristens work and will continue to work with her.

Kristen is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She told us approx. how long it would take to obtain my Cousins Medicaid and it was close to that time when it did happen. Any questions that I email her with she almost immediately responds to them. Would recommend her to anyone with out hesitation.
