About.

Established in 2017.

Our founding principal, Robin Haynes, has worked on some of the largest and smallest cases in Inland Northwest history. We have experience in Northwest State and Federal Courts (including family and bankruptcy courts), Division III Court of Appeals, the Idaho Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and numerous tribal courts and administrative agencies. 

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. 

Our Team.

Robin Haynes, robin@giantlegal.net 
Founding Attorney

Robin started GIANTlegal after more than a decade of employment, family, and commercial litigation in the Northwest. Her experience includes both employer and employee side litigation; employee handbook and non-compete drafting and revisions; startup and general business advice; trust and estate disputes; appeals; and bankruptcy. She played key roles in two of the largest cases in Spokane Superior Court history, one of which was a consumer class action benefiting Spokane residents. She has successfully litigated matters in the state and federal courts of Washington & Idaho, Division III Court of Appeals, the Ninth Circuit, the Idaho Supreme Court, and various tribal courts. She loves working with startups to help clients fulfill their dreams with ease at a reasonable price, and is here to assist in personal matters that impact your daily life, including family and estate matters.

In her personal time, Robin is a book nerd, who enjoys strong coffee, weightlifting, and anything outdoors. She's called the Inland Northwest her home for almost 30 years.
