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.

Honest and efficient lawyer

Anthony just finished another legal matter for us. He did another great job for us quickly and less expensively than the other attorneys we've been using in the last 4 years. He is now the sole attorney our company uses for our employment and business matters. We like that he was trained in one o...f the big firms in town but works with us on a very personal level. I am retiring next year and intend to call upon him for my personal legal work. I also like that he is very honest and tells my company (and me) when we are wrong and when we don't have a good case. That makes some people angry, but I rather hear it straight from the start rather than be a lot of wasted money down the road just to find out later I needed to hear the ugly truth. Anthony's been a gem to our business. An honest lawyer and a good man is hard to find, and worth writing a review over. Highly recommend him.

Great lawyer, very personable

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.

CEO and Co-Owner of Honolulu Business

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.
