Robin Janine Shishido

Robin Shishido is an incredible attorney! When I first came to her with my legal issue, I was overwhelmed and scared and she made me feel like my case was totally taken care of. More than that, she did her due diligence and always kept me in the loop. She made me feel like we were a team and that jus...tice was inevitable— in my circumstances, at the time, that was a huge sense of relief. I’m completely satisfied with how my case concluded and I feel she and I will still have a good connection going into the future.

I wholeheartedly recommend Robin Shishido as an exceptional attorney, whose expertise, empathy, and tenacity were instrumental in my maternity discrimination case. As a senior woman in the technology sector, I faced unexpected and disheartening challenges this year. During my FMLA-protected matern...ity leave, a newly appointed male CEO began reorganizing the company’s leadership, significantly impacting senior female staff in favor of bringing in white men from his previous company. Amidst this upheaval, I was unjustly demoted and faced a substantial salary reduction. Navigating these circumstances was incredibly tough, especially while recovering from childbirth. After a disappointing start with another attorney, I was fortunate to find Robin. From our first interaction, she stood out as not just a lawyer, but as a fierce advocate for justice. Robin’s approach was a perfect blend of empathy, decisiveness, and boldness. Her empathy provided much-needed emotional support during this challenging time. She was not just a legal advisor; she was a confidante and ally who understood the nuances and emotional toll of my situation. Her decisiveness and clarity in strategy were impressive. Robin swiftly grasped the complexities of my case, laying out a clear path forward. Her confidence and straightforward approach were reassuring, making me feel secure in her hands. Robin’s boldness was important as she confronted this discrimination head-on with compelling arguments and a well-crafted narrative that highlighted the injustice I faced. Her ability to articulate the nuances of maternity discrimination law, combined with her passion for defending women’s rights in the workplace, was pivotal in achieving a favorable outcome. Robin helped me navigate a complex landscape, ensuring that my rights were protected and that I received fair compensation for the undue hardship I endured. Her unwavering commitment to my case restored my faith in the legal system and, more importantly, in my own resilience. It is without any reservation that I recommend Robin Shishido for anyone seeking an attorney who is not only skilled in employment law but who also brings a deeply human touch to her practice. Her blend of empathy, decisiveness, and boldness makes her an outstanding attorney and advocate.

I had an excellent experience with Robin and her firm. I would highly recommend her and them. I contacted Robin when I encountered difficulties with my longtime employer regarding my established disability accommodations. After a change in leadership, my employer failed to implement the accommodati...on as required, and I was being stonewalled in my own efforts to remedy the situation. When I contacted Robin, my goal was to restore proper implementation of my accommodations without a lawsuit and, ideally, without souring my good relations with colleagues. Both were achieved. Although it was not a high dollar matter, this felt like a David v. Goliath situation, potentially impacting my career and livelihood. Robin was adept at handling my situation and took the time to counsel me about my rights and options; assist with highly-nuanced correspondence; and competently and compassionately listen, educated, and advise me. Her commitment to my situation was reassuring and helped lower my anxiety and improve my sleep. The process was drawn out by my employer (a large state agency), but ultimately we reached a good result, with recodification of my accommodations and an improved procedural plan going forward, to help prevent a similar issue ever arising again. With her unique combination of legal talent and emotional intelligence, I consider Robin to be well-suited for cases such as mine. I have no reservations about recommending her and trust she would be honest and accurate about her ability and availability to help someone.

I reached out to Robin originally for a consultation for a potential discrimination lawsuit recently and was not disappointed. After speaking for some time and hearing the compassion in Robin's voice, we decided to move forward with the case and I hired Robin. Robin is extremely emotionally supportiv...e, and constatnly assuring, making me feel safe and protected against the other party. Most importantly, I felt validated. Robin is very quick with her thinking and gives 100% effort. Every process was explained to me with clarity and she was very helpful if there were any questions or uncertanties. Robin was not only my lawyer, but my cheerleader and that made a huge impact. My life has changed for the better after my experience and I will never forget!

Robin and her law firm helped me navigate an employment law case where I was discriminated against and illegally terminated for issues out of my own control. Robin was extremely helpful, professional, and took her own personal time to explain every thing to me so I knew what was going on with the cas...e and what to expect. Every time I had questions she responded with alacrity. Her team helped me navigate a difficult legal issue that in the end helped change a large employers practices for the better. I can’t express my appreciation for what Shishido Taren Goldsworthy PLLC did for me. Robin helped me prepare for the case and depositions and was extremely thorough in her interviews with those she was deposing. I felt prepared and confident in what to expect and her thoroughness helped me be successful in this employment case. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
