Paul Yoshio Kiyonaga

Paul Kiyonaga is an exceptional criminal defense attorney who combines professionalism, experience, and relentless advocacy. From the very beginning, I felt confident in his guidance—he was straightforward, prepared, and fully invested in achieving the best possible result. Paul’s attention to detail... and strategic approach were evident throughout the process, and his team was equally professional and responsive. I always felt informed, supported, and in capable hands. Paul’s balance of assertiveness and professionalism set him apart and ultimately made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Kiyonaga & Soltis, P.C. to anyone in need of skilled and effective representation.

Because of Mr. Kiyonaga’s skill, I prevailed on a difficult EEO claim against a federal agency. It was a precedent-setting case in which I was awarded substantial backpay and other forms of relief (restructured job, sanctions for the bullying offender, increase in salary) and am very pleased with the... result. While Mr. Kiyonaga already had considerable experience in federal employment law, he dove into careful research on new topics my case presented. Over the course of the 8-year process, he responded quickly to my concerns and gave clear advice, always based on ongoing discussions about my goals. He was also open to new ideas and was always personable and respectful, even in high-stakes negotiations with agency attorneys. His calm and collaborative manner saved the day many times. He’s tough, smart, and he wins.

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.

-First and foremost, Paul was conserned about my case. He took his time to research a lot of information about my case. He informed me what is expected from me. Also, he kept me up to date with every single detail about my case. Through his hard work, and controbution we ended up winning the case. Pa...ul is a very good lawyer (Criminal Lawyer), and I would recommend him for any looking for a lawyer.
