Established in 2017.We may be new as a firm, but we are not new to the practice of law. Our founding principal, Robin Haynes, has worked on some of the largest volume cases in Spokane Superior Court history.

Our Goal.Our goal at GIANTlegal is to get you from A to B in the most direct way possible. We don't over promise, and we will tell you upfront what and where the holes are in your case. Some clients don't like that, but we think that knowing your weaknesses is the best way to overcome them.
