Shebby | Hirashima LLP

I had an excellent experience working with Kristen Hirashima and the firm of Hebby Hirashima and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone in need of a family law attorney. I hired her after spending over a year with another family law attorney who had accomplished very little in what should have been a relatively simple settlement. The main challenges were my ex-husband's disorganization, denial and flat-out refusal to cooperate. Kristen not only sped up the entire process, she made a confusing and often difficult endeavor easy-to-understand and explained things that my previous lawyer hadn't even mentioned. She and her associates were responsive and easy to reach, and I always received prompt, thorough answers to my questions. When we needed to make strategy decisions, the pros and cons of each choice were clearly laid out for me. Within four months of hiring Shebby Hirashima, my divorce was finalized.

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 divorce 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. Their 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 David and Kristen highly enough.

I had an excellent experience working with Shebby/Hirashima on my family law case. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly professional, polite, and caring. They made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable by always treating me with respect and compassion. What truly stood out was their prompt communication and consistent punctuality. Whether it was responding to emails, preparing documents, or showing up for court or meetings, they were always on time and well-prepared. That reliability gave me peace of mind throughout the process. Everyone I interacted with at the firm was knowledgeable and confident, and it was clear that they work as a cohesive team. Their legal expertise, combined with a thoughtful and respectful approach, made me feel supported every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend Shebby/Hirashima to anyone in need of dedicated, skilled, and compassionate family law representation.
