Hardworking & Great Outcome

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.

Excellent, a strong combination of sharp lawyering and interpersonal skills

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.

Robin was intensely personal availing her time during my entire litigation. She managed to always make me fell as if I was the only client she was representing. She was both personable and professional with tremendous insight while creating a balance of preparation pre trial. She is truly gifted... as an attorney while embracing law and understanding of your particular situation. I would highly recommend Robin and her team. An attorney that sinscerely invests her talent, knowledge and skills enabling the very best results. Count on Robin....I did!!!
