W. Anthony Aguinaldo

After repeated and extended delays involving a home construction project I had signed a contract for yielded no home, I asked for the return of my deposit. As no foundation or cement had been laid, I assumed my money would be quickly returned to me. When the broker representing the developer refused ...to return my money, a friend recommended I speak with Mr. Anthony Aquinaldo, Esq ASAP. I had never hired a lawyer previous to this incident and had quite a few questions to ask. From the initial free consultation, which was a little over an hour, he explained in detail the options and the potential (negative and positive) scenarios I could face. When I asked questions about his record and reputation on the island, he answered honestly and thoroughly. This first conversation, his deep understanding of Hawai’i real estate and contract laws, along with his friendly demeanor, settled any concerns I had about working with him. He encouraged me to shop around for quotes. However, I knew we would be working together after that initial conversation. After I hired him, he quickly delved into the minutia of my case, forming a thorough strategy of how to proceed in demanding the return of my deposit. After two months, Mr. Aquinaldo not only ensured the return of all of my deposit but also the interest it had accrued while in escrow. I was elated to see money I had worked hard for and saved during several years for the express notion of purchasing a dream property in Hawai’i. I will continue to use his services and highly recommend him to both family, friends and associates exploring options to buy property or homes in Hawai’i.

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 was the ultimate professional. He saved my career and my business, I would recommend him to anyone on a budget that needs legal help for any type of business. He has a vast knowledge of the law and business practices. I would have gladly paid him more than his fees for his excellent services.... He represented me years ago and to this day will take the time to listen to any questions about legal situations I still have questions about. He is 100% the person you need if you need representation in business affairs.

Anthony is a lawyer with zeal. I hired him to handle two (misdemeanor) court cases, and he completed them both in a highly professional and efficient manner. He patiently explained the legal process, provided timely and accurate counsel, tirelessly negotiated with the prosecutors, and constantly up...dated me on the progress. I am extremely satisfied with the judgments and his performance in court. I witnessed how his fellow lawyers hold him in high esteem. I believe the respect and confidence he receives will certainly benefit his clients. He has my strongest possible endorsement.
