Above and beyond, incredible experience

I can't say enough about how much I LOVED working with these two lawyers. Both Robyn and Jordan empowered me and advocated on my behalf in away that has brought me so much healing. i came to them incredibly skeptical and fearful but they dispelled those fears. They were open, honest and empethetic t...owards me, and totally fearless and brilliant working with my case. I am so happy with how my case ended and thankful that I had the two of them by my side.

incredible, supportive lawyer who exceeded my expectations

As a client, I felt so supported by Jordan and Robin. Their knowledge of laws and similar cases across King County and Washington State were so helpful in my case. They both made me feel confident in my case. I am so pleased with the outcome of my case. Even if I had been disappointed with the outcom...e, I would have still recommended these two outstanding lawyers. They really fought for me and made me feel validated and supported. I also appreciated how open our communication was. I could always reach out to them with questions or concerns and they replied promptly. I will forever refer them to friends and family members.

Outstanding!

I hired Robin and Jordan for my case and they exceeded my expectations, even when the going got tough and certain situations became complicated they pulled through without fail. They listened to my concerns, advised me when needed, and always had options for me. I was very impressed with how quickly ...my case was resolved and the outcome was more than I could ever ask for. They made every effort to fight for me and always made sure I was updated with every move they went forward with. They are genuine and always had my best interest at heart. They went above and beyond their duties. Their confidence never diminished in this difficult case, especially when I lost faith in myself. Their encouragement and support made this journey much easier for me. They gave me my life back and I'm finally able to move on. I hope to never have to go through a case like this again, but if it did, I will go to them without hesitation. Outstanding job!

Best Lawyer! Listens to client's needs & works like a boss!

I had the pleasure of being represented by Robin Shishido. I would recommend her and her firm to anyone needing representation. She is not only well-versed in law, but able to see a problem from many different viewpoints, plus she is sharp and witty with her results. She listened well to my needs and... information and used it to our advantage for a win! She is the kind of fighter you want in your corner, because she not only has a winning mentality, but a bulldog attitude I very much appreciated! Thanks again, Robin!

Regional Manager

Robin was a very important part of representing me against a large corporation. The law suit started with just myself, but after weeks, it began to include others. After several months there were five of us that were part of this law suit. We faced a very large law firm that had unlimited resource...s, and has offices throughout the USA and Europe. They were never intimidated, or, discouraged, and gave us great support throughout a 2 year process to get us a proper settlement. We were 100% prepared for our depositions, etc. And their depositions against our former employer were amazing, as key people admitted bad behavior which is not easy to do. Bottom line, a tough case is an amazing journey. Us 5 couldn't have done it without their commitment to getting the truth to come out.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
