Very trustworthy and extremely helpful

Mr. Aguinaldo did a wonderful job with my case! He was very professional and polite the entire time I worked with him. He kept me up to date with everything I needed to know for my case and he did a great job going over every question I had. I felt very well informed throughout the whole process and ...trusted he would guide me in the right direction for a successful outcome. From the moment I hired him I knew he would take care of my case and keep my best interests in mind. 10/10 would recommend Anthony to anyone having trouble or issues with an employment lawsuit.

Consultation Regarding ADA

I contacted Anthony after my employer refused to consider work accommodation needed due to my cancer. Anthony returned my calls promptly. He listened to my concerns and offered detailed feedback regarding my employment situation and the options I had available. His experience and expertise was ver...y valuable and gave me a direction to proceed that would be beneficial. I recommend Anthony without reservation to anyone dealing with employment problems, disability discrimination, and unresponsive employers.

Honest, Professional and Thorough

I had the privilege of consulting with Mr. Aguibaldo, an experienced attorney. During our conversation, Mr. Aguibaldo displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and provided invaluable guidance on the matter at hand. His demeanor exuded warmth and patience, making me feel at ease throughout our disc...ussion. He meticulously addressed every aspect of my concerns, offering thorough explanation. It was evident that Mr. Aguibaldo's years of experience have honed not only his legal acumen but also his ability to empathize with his clients. By the end of our conversation, I left feeling well-informed. I am grateful for the opportunity to have benefited from his expertise.

Dismissive before It Began

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.
