Paul Yoshio Kiyonaga

I was recently represented by Paul Kiyonaga of Kiyonaga & Soltis, P.C., in an unfair dismissal matter. Mr. Kiyonaga’s depth of experience and legal expertise were instrumental in achieving a favorable settlement against my former employer. Throughout the engagement, he provided clear, comprehensive g...uidance at every stage of the process and demonstrated exceptional skill in mediating the final resolution. His command of both the relevant law and the dynamics of the mediation process—including the stakeholders involved—was exemplary. Challenging a former employer can be an intimidating undertaking, but Mr. Kiyonaga’s steady leadership and ability to demystify the proceedings created a consistent sense of confidence and security throughout.

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.

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.
