I'd imagine the odds…read moreare stacked against dads during divorces, and its pretty terrifying when children are involved. Jennifer was exactly what I needed at this time. Straight to the point, she tells you what she needs from you as a client and expects nothing less in return.

This was my first time filing for chapter 7. Doing anything legal during the covid pandemic was…read morescary to me, so it was not easy to choose a firm to work with. The Shimotake Law Firm came as a recommendation from a family friend. After calling the firm, Jason Shimotake himself returned my call not too long after. I explained my situation and he gave me a price-quote for working with the firm. I hesitated, but he went ahead and gave me SOLID advice whether I ultimately chose to go with the firm or not. His frankness and courtesy convinced me to go with the firm. He personally walked me through every step of the process via phone call/zoom. I had a few questions and concerns throughout the case, which he clarified immediately. Make no mistake: filing for chapter 7 is no joke. The courts require alot of documentation to hunt down and a couple online "courses" to complete. I can't imagine doing it without the care and patience given to me by Jason and his team. The price they quoted me for the chapter 7 was fair, but they were worth every penny spent. I highly recommend going with The Shimotake Law firm. They were an absolute delight to work with. And that's not something I ever thought I'd say about lawyers.

During the pandemic, things got way out of hand and I needed the best lawyer who not only do what lawyers do best, but more importantly, understand at a personal level of my needs to help me get through it all. I called dozens of offices and right before choosing my lawyer, I called Jason. It was the best call I made. I remember the first time speaking to him vividly. He was caring, understanding, and very knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do and would explain to me in every detail and answer all my mountains of questions without getting inpatient like most other lawyers would. Because of Jason, I got my life back to where it should be. As if none of it actually happened. I would always come back to Jason for his service and would recommend him to anyone in a flash. Thank you so much Jason. I hope you are doing well.
