W. Anthony Aguinaldo

I got a call back from this attorney and from the outset, he seemed intent on dismissing me and my interest in getting legal counsel. He spoke down to me, argued with me and essentially tried to make it as if I knew nothing about the claims (violation of privacy, harassment and slander). When he chos...e to immediately conclude that there were no damages due to slander (after saying that harmful speech is only actionable in employment if it's physically threatening or sexual harassment, which is simply not true), I decided I should just get off the phone as quickly as possible. His dismissive comments were belittling, which was wild given that he didn't seem to care that I'm law-trained and thus knew when he wasn't being complete in his opinions. Additionally, it was just completely inappropriate. If someone is calling because of an issue with employment, it's likely they're having a real hard time. This attorney had ZERO compassion or empathy and seemed more intent on telling me why I absolutely DIDN'T have a viable claim. I would've preferred he just say he couldn't take on my case rather than make me feel terrible about myself and hopeless in my situation. If you are looking for an attorney with a heart, I would avoid this one.
