W. Anthony Aguinaldo

I got a call back from this attorney and from the outset, he seemed intent on dismissing me and my interest in getting legal counsel. He spoke down to me, argued with me and essentially tried to make it as if I knew nothing about the claims (violation of privacy, harassment and slander). When he chos...e to immediately conclude that there were no damages due to slander (after saying that harmful speech is only actionable in employment if it's physically threatening or sexual harassment, which is simply not true), I decided I should just get off the phone as quickly as possible. His dismissive comments were belittling, which was wild given that he didn't seem to care that I'm law-trained and thus knew when he wasn't being complete in his opinions. Additionally, it was just completely inappropriate. If someone is calling because of an issue with employment, it's likely they're having a real hard time. This attorney had ZERO compassion or empathy and seemed more intent on telling me why I absolutely DIDN'T have a viable claim. I would've preferred he just say he couldn't take on my case rather than make me feel terrible about myself and hopeless in my situation. If you are looking for an attorney with a heart, I would avoid this one.

Anthony took time to listen to me. He gave me options and told me to check other law firms to make sure I was comfortable using his firm. I made the right choice, in the end he won my case. I was considered a whistleblower and my employer retaliated against me and tried to fire me. I am grateful for ...his help, knowledge, and honesty throughout the case. I highly recommend him over any other law firm!

Anthony is a very friendly, warm, competent lawyer. Once retained he provided me with a concise legal strategy that enabled him to win my case. This was a long drawn out case with the department of labor. Frequently encouraged me to hang in there during a very stressful situation. I recommend him bas...ed on my experience with him. He will work hard for you. More importantly he will see the case through the whole process..

Anthony evaluated my EEOC discrimination case and weighed the strength of my arguments against potential counter arguments. He expertly put the analysis in the context of the benefits of filing a lawsuit. Overall, his analysis was very insightful and he expertly answered all the questions I had. Than...ks to his help I was able to make an informed decision. His communication style is respectful and he responds to every e-mail and phone call. Absolutely recommend!

Had a consultation with Anthony and explained my situation. Without getting into to much detail, I was being unfairly disciplined at work for an unfounded complaint. This situation caused me to loose monetary compensation from my normal duties at work. Anthony sat there and listened attentively. He t...old me what was happening to me was unfair and that I do indeed have a case. He told me I could retain his services for $300.00 and that that was a deal he made for me which I thought was great. Fast forward 7 months later and while still I going the same situation at work, I get no word from Anthony even though I forward all paperwork and documentation of the unfair treatment. He doesn't even check in on me. I contuinally have to call and leave emails and wait days for a response back. After a brief phone discussion with Anthony, I forgo my union representation and request that Anthony start taking action on my behalf. Mind you this is a year into the unfair treatment and I have been no closer to getting the issue resolved with the employer. Anthony asks for $800.00 for the work to start taking place. Long story short, he made me feel as if I had a case which I know I did yet he took my money and did nothing for me. His advice was to lay low and take it because he seen other situations work out bad and employers found ways to get rid of employees even as far as fabrication and planting evidence. He had no courage or pride to fight for me even after taking my money. I realize that $1100 is a deal for an attorney but nothing was accomplished on my behalf. I'm not asking for money back but I do wish to warn others of this mans coward attitude, misleading information, and poor attitude towards representing his clients. I'm writing this because till this day he hasn't even checked on the status of my case. I was cleared of any wrong doing but it took 14months. Totally unacceptable and I feel so discouraged to try and fight the employer already. There were so many details left out of this story in an attempt to keep it short but in all, be warned that this man is a waste of money. You will be disappointed
