W. Anthony Aguinaldo

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.

Very happy with this lawyer. Have had him help me on 4 difficult matters in the last 5 years. 2 contract matters and 2 business/employment matters. Great results and no wasting our time or money. Very personable guy, too. Impressed us with his knowledge and ability to answer our questions right... away. We retained him most recently in April and had another great experience where he took our headaches away and resolved the problem we were facing. We referred our son in law's employer to our lawyer about 3 years ago and rave reviews ever since, too. Honest, trustworthy guy. We've had a lot of lawyers and used the top law firms in Honolulu and used one firm on the Big Island during the almost 30 years of being in business in the state. This lawyer is the one we all like the best, and has done the best work for us.

Anthony Aguinaldo has been our attorney for years and has been absolutely fantastic in all respects. His good reputation is well known and his credentials and track record are beyond reproach. I'm writing mostly because we were made aware that after more than 20 years of unblemished practice, two "...over-the-top" negative reviews suddenly appear on the same day (from supposedly two different people who supposedly were clients on two different matters at two different time frames.) The best and most accurate source to get unbiased reviews of an attorney is from the Hawaii Bar Association. This is how our company found Anthony. Anthony Aguinaldo was highly recommended to us by the Hawaii Bar Association after we called the Bar [the number is (808) 537-9140] and asked the Bar to give us the name of an attorney who they get the most positive feedback from actual former clients and peer attorneys. Anthony's was the first and most highly recommended name they gave us for the Employment/Business issue we needed addressed. (I will also add that a personal reason for taking the time to write this review was that our business was smeared online by an unscrupulous competitor who was losing business to us every month. We encourage our customers to do online research but to make sure they check credible sources first and foremost.) We have been greatly satisfied with the legal work provided to us by Anthony Aguinaldo and expect to utilize him for all our work in the future.

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.
