Discriminates against women. Takes bribes.

Hire a lawyer out of state who is licensed to practice in Hawaii. Always check with paralegals, social media for the truth, reviews occasionally tainted. My dog was murdered because of him think about that

Thank you

Anyone who has to contact a lawyer knows that it is a very stressful situation. Immediately on the phone, I felt safe with Attorney Roman. At the start, he listened very carefully. I was very emotional and he had empathy of emotions. But he also was able to direct me in a more clear direction. He wa...s very honest and straight forward which I really appreciate since it saved us both time to figure out what was really important in my case. I didn’t have to meet Attorney Roman and we were able to complete everything online and via phone which was very convenient for me. Even though I never met him personally, throughout my whole process, I felt as if my hand was being held. It was obvious, he has a lot of experience and knowledge. He was also honest with his intuition which help me trust him more. This help me have a better understanding of the various personalities in my case. Thank you Attorney Roman for helping me seek justice and making a stressful situation not so stressful!

Discrimination Settlement

Mr. Amaguin worked with me on a discrimination case with my past employer, he was completely honest and transparent during the entire process and helped me settle everything quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Super Attorney

Listened to my complaints, agreed to take my suit, kept me well informed and up to date on progress and time lines, and is very reasonable on fees and compensation. I highly recommend him and trusted his experience and expertise completely.

Looking for a excellent lawyer for problem with employer

Roman is an excellent lawyer. I went to see him about employment discrimination suit after I got fired and he helped me so much. At first, I thought this is an for sure case in my mind, but I realized as time went on, that it is not that easy to win and he did very good job to win my case. If it wa...s not for him, I don't think I would have won. but it does take time and sometimes, I got very impatient but it does take time and I would recommend him to anyone that have a case with your employer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
