Paul Yoshio Kiyonaga

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.
