Unprofessional.

I ended up with a huge judgement against me from a former employer in a workers comp case, because Mr Aguinaldo did not withdraw the litigation, even though I specifically asked him about it. Then he told me not to worry about it, because judgement are hard to collect and I should just move from the... state! Also he never sent me any breakdown for his billing and services.

Excellent lawyer

On multiple occasions, this attorney has performed accurate and honest legal assessments for us. His work was impeccable and he is very knowledgeable in the Employment area. We were dissapointed that he declined to do workers comp cases, but he referred us to another attorney that handles that sub-s...pecialty. For the areas of law he did handle however, he was uniformly excellent. Not the least expensive attorney we've tried but certainly one of the very best.

Highly recommended

This attorney was recommended to me by both the Hawaii Bar Association and by a business contact. He did a fantastic job for me on a difficult case. My business has utilized several attorneys in the past. Anthony was by far the most knowledgeable and efficient attorney we've used. His pricing was... fair and he was very easy to work with. I've recommended him to two other parties (one and individual and the other a an engineering firm) and received rave reviews back. Highly recommended.

For the last 7 years, consistently the best lawyer my company uses.

I hire lawyers and consultants for my employer and have worked with more than a dozen. Anthony by far was the easiest one to work with, the most efficient, and most knowledgeable with his specialty areas and gets what needs to be done effectively and at a reasonable cost. My husband recently used h...im for his new business and was extraordinarily pleased. Can't say enough good things. The only downside is that he is often in high demand and gets busy. He's good about giving time-frames of when he can get things done however. We also like that his office is in the heart of downtown which makes it convenient for us.

Unprofessional and untrustworthy

He is a real fast, smooth talker. Promised results and action but demaned money up front. Then he did nothing but screw up, lie and ignore my case. He did no preparation, no research, nada. When I got upset, Aguinaldo just quit and told me to take a hike, no refund. He has taken all my money for ...legal fees so I am taking him to small claims court. As a former cop, I have worked with many attorneys. My best friend in California is an attorney. This guy is the worst. Hire him if you have no worries about throwing your money away.
