Elizabeth Jubin Fujiwara

Hired Joseph Rosenbaum and Elizabeth Jubin Fujiwara March 2019. Joe wrote an ADA demand letter to my former employer. Company responded harshly -- admonishing Joe for failing to act ethically. In sports terminology, employer attorney "dunked on him." Joe did not "zealously defend" me. Felt he let emp...loyer push us around. Appealed to Elizabeth Fujiwara, as she is senior partner. She not only refused to assist -- claims she is mediator -- instead kicked me out of their firm and threw ALL my money back at me against my objections. Elizabeth and Joe left me in WORSE position than when I started. They walked way from me after having a "frank discussion" as HI Disciplinary Board advises. I simply offered what I believed was a winnable strategy. Ended up having to write my own complaint to Hawai'i Civil Rights Commission. They filed a charge against my former employer, but pro se isn't effective. Now, four years later, HCRC provided right to sue letter. Reached out to Joe for clarification. He's a kind man; smart and talented. That's the reason I hired him in the first place. We had a positive, productive conversation. Thought it would be a good opportunity to mend our relationship. Asked if he would like to represent me going forward. I was able to save a significant amount of money and could fund our action. Nope! They refused my request. Firm is still angry with me for speaking up. Much retaliation in Hawai'i. Small population, not much competition. It appears if you speak up for yourself, you're out in Honolulu. Go along if you want to get along.
