W. Anthony Aguinaldo

I was referred to Mr. Aguinaldo from Legal Aid whom said they could not help me. He was gracious to hear my story as I was feeling helpless. He offered to help me out with a payment I could afford and looked over my employment severance agreement. He got back to me the next day and revised the agr...eement to my better liking. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs assistance with employment and labor legal advice. Mahalo Anthony your are a Blessing!

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.

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.
