Overdue Review

Mr. Kiyonaga wonderfully represented a loved one at a parole hearing aside from an appeal. After all these years, he kept a wonderful record of the case and important supporting documents. Mr. Kiyonaga is an ethical, compassionate, and thorough lawyer. He is multilingual and can communicate in other ...languages besides English- which is a huge plus! I could not have trusted anyone else with this case. Although initially, we had a setback, we ended up getting up a very favorable result. If you want someone who will take their time to learn the facts, give you a clear-cut perspective on things, and someone who simply cares-- go to Paul Kiyonaga. You won't be dissapointed.

thoughtful, attentive, experienced lawyer

Paul's thoughtful counsel based on extensive experience helped me gain advantageous changes to a proposed separation agreement with my now-former employer. He was always instantly responsive and interested in each development. He made clear that he cares about my well-being and professional progress ...and fair treatment of me in the separation. I highly recommend him to anyone undergoing a difficult workplace environment or separation.

Successful settlement of EEOC case

Mr. Kiyonaga was recommended by someone who worked in employment matters for many years in a federal agency and who worked with Mr. Kiyonaga in the past. Even though Mr. Kiyonaga was in Washington DC and I am in California, I engaged him for my case. That was an excellent decision, as he diligently... and doggedly pursued my claims through a huge federal bureaucracy for several long years, until we reached a final and reasonable settlement a short time ago. As another client noted in their review, Mr. Kiyonaga is wicked smart, and he ensured he understood every aspect of my case. While always respectful of the federal agency's attorneys, he pushed cleverly and hard to my advantage. I have recommended Mr. Kiyonaga to several colleagues with similar issues with this agency, and he currently is representing them in the same thoughtful and professional manner.

Discrimination Action

Paul Kiyonaga was exactly the lawyer I needed when my supervisor made a business decision to remove me from civil service and replace me with two younger people -- and this after over 28 years of highly recognized and awarded service. Paul crafted a creative solution, worked around the clock and on ...weekends and was able to save my career during one of the darkest points of my life. I highly recommend Paul Kiyonaga for employment actions. He is the fighter you want on your side.

Federal Employee

I highly recommend Mr. Kiyonaga to anyone in need of an outstanding attorney. Mr. Kiyonaga did a remarkable job as my attorney as it relates to Federal employement and MSPB legal matters. Throughout my case Mr. Kiyonaga demonstrated that he was clearly invested and had my best interest in mind. Mr.... Kiyonaga provided routine timely updates, answered questions/concerns in a prompt manner which kept me well informed throughout my case. I was truly impressed with his legal strategy, application of creative resources and oral presentation abilities. Mr. Kiyonaga is a highly experienced and proven attorney that I would without a doubt recommend to anyone.
