Paul Yoshio Kiyonaga

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.

Paul was referred to me from an attorney that works in Washington D.C. and belongs to my professional network. He was retained by me to support me on a retaliation case related to my PhD program. Paul has pushed me to take the right decisions. Thankfully he has also dedicated his time to create "out ...of the box" solutions to my case. We have even met on a Sunday afternoon at his office in order to meet the short deadline that had been given to me. The case was finally decided on my favor, and I am sure that Paul played a major role on it.

Mr. Kiyonaga successfully presented my medical disability claim to the U.S. office of personnel management. My case was complicated by my status as an attorney and by the psychological nature of my disabling condition. Mr. Kiyonaga met every challenge with thoughtful, informed decisionmaking. H...e is wicked smart. He was respectful of my opinion at all stages of the process and kept my spirits high during a very long and difficult period waiting for a decision. He was especially effective at communicating with my employer and supervisors and encouraging a cooperative attitude between all parties. He was also skilled in dealing with my medical providers and helping gather and consolidate their diagnoses and testing. He brought in another attorney for advice outside his area of expertise. He kept contacting OPM so my application did not fall through the cracks. He covered every base and I felt protected at all stages. I have nothing but praise for the way he handled my case.
