Shelley was so helpful ever step of the way during this stressful process! She asked all the right questions as well as answered all of mine. Definitely would recommend her to family and friends.

I really appreciate Shelley’s help. She is great listening skills and she was so helpful even with tips on how to improve and strengthen relationships. My son and I greatly appreciated her help today. We would hire her as and if needed.

When I was searching for an attorney, I had the most complicated guardianship /custody case imaginable. My son was in another state, I had multiple parties involved, it was a train wreck. I had met with other attorneys and I just did not have a good feeling at all. After my first talk with Shelley, I knew without a doubt she was "The One" She listened and was caring and very honest about what I needed to be prepared for. She is very smart and knows the laws! I came to her feeling like she was my last hope. And I now have full custody of my son! I am so grateful that I was able to retain her and an affordable price and appreciate the amazing job she did with getting my son home.

Thanks for everything! I truly appreciate it!! There are times that I felt like I was being needy and high maintenance, but you never made it seem that way, and I really appreciate that. You have been a great person to work with. Promptly returning text and emails, even on weekends. Calling me in the evenings because you know I’m teaching during the day. Calling and texting me on weekends to ease my worries that I was having at those very moments. I want you to know that all those things were noticed and very much appreciated. I definitely feel like you always went above and beyond, and genuinely cared about how I was feeling about things. You never dismissed me or made me feel like I was being unreasonable or demanding. I will highly recommend you to everyone and anyone that finds themselves in need of a family law attorney. Again, I super appreciate you!

I was referred to Shelley by another attorney I know who said she was "the best!" and a "great advocate!" amongst other superlatives and she certainly lived up to that billing! She was so great helping me handle my divorce case. She is an excellent communicator and very easy to talk to. She was always there for me when I needed her and provided very prompt and detailed attention to any of my needs. With her help I was able to wrap up my case in an amazingly short period of time with all aspects of the case working out to be a fair and amicable deal for everyone. I highly recommend Shelley!

I lost my mother to cancer in March 2021. I needed help sorting through the estate/probate process, and didn't have a clue where to start. Then I found Shelley. She was kind, honest, and professional. She explained all of the steps of the process beforehand and was very thorough. Shelley made the process easy and I never felt like I was out of the loop. I will be using her again in the future.

Shelley is a fantastic attorney. She understood exactly what needed to happen to get me the desired outcome for my situation. She’s easy to communicate with and available when I had any questions. And Shelley kept my budget at a fair and desirable level.

Shelley was immediately compassionate, non judgmental, direct in a loving safe manner. She was easily able to relate and made sure I felt supported as I’ve navigated my divorce and custody issues alone without support. I needed to know if I had been taken advantage of through my divorce process while I was in the throes of alcoholism. We talked about what was good and a gift I was given for now and talked about what we can talk about down the road in my recovery and as I am granted more and more custody until I am 50/50 with my ex husband!

Shelley was amazing in our case to terminate biological fathers rights and allow adoption by my husband. She was quick to respond, never left us in the dark and showed so much empathy and consideration towards my family. We couldn't have done it without her! She is great at what she does and has an amazing heart!

Attorney Shelly Akamatsu is a solid human as well as a very attentive & caring attorney. I Highly recommend you have Shelly in your corner. I plan to use her services next year as well.
