W. Anthony Aguinaldo

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.

Mr. Aguinaldo fully explained and clarified all of my questions and concerns. He listened attentively and comprehend the situation with my marriage. I was married under a year and had been served divorce papers on the grounds of irretrievably broken. I am originally from Texas and am currently statio...ned in San Diego, CA. I did not know Hawaii is a "no fault" state. My wife married after 47 days before she left for Naval Hospital Guantanamo. I am very appreciative for being referred from the Hawaii State Bar to Anthony.

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

Lawyer Aguinaldo is the type of lawyer you would see in a movie taking on tough human rights cases for the sake of justice. He's a straight talker, informative, helpful, and attentive. He hears you out, and then gives you the bottom line of your chances of victory inside or outside of court. I nev...er felt rushed or as if I was taking up too much of his time. In fact, his advice was fundamental to a positive outcome in my case. I would strongly and unreservedly recommend anyone who is having trouble with labor issues (especially here in Hawaii, where things are very corrupt) consult with Anthony. He'll give you both knowledge and certainty about the paths you must take to justice.

We've been very impressed. Anthony Aguinaldo has been extremely knowledgeable and competent on matters we have retained him for over the last two years. He obtained great results for us. Honest, smart, and very experienced is what we needed and wanted to find in a lawyer. We finally found one in ...Mr. Aguinaldo and use him for all our legal matters now. Couldn't be more satisfied.
