Gave honest advice instead of making me waste money.

Paid for an hour consultation and instead of trying to waste my time and money he gave it to me straight that while he agreed I'd been wronged, that I had little chance of winning my case and advised me in other useful ways. Two other lawyers pushed for me paying them tens of thousands of dollars for... a guaranteed loss. Mr. Aguinaldo is someone I can highly recommend. He could have told me what I wanted to hear to get business, but was instead very honest.

business lawyer

Anthony was the ultimate professional. He saved my career and my business, I would recommend him to anyone on a budget that needs legal help for any type of business. He has a vast knowledge of the law and business practices. I would have gladly paid him more than his fees for his excellent services.... He represented me years ago and to this day will take the time to listen to any questions about legal situations I still have questions about. He is 100% the person you need if you need representation in business affairs.

Mislead

Had a consultation with Anthony and explained my situation. Without getting into to much detail, I was being unfairly disciplined at work for an unfounded complaint. This situation caused me to loose monetary compensation from my normal duties at work. Anthony sat there and listened attentively. He t...old me what was happening to me was unfair and that I do indeed have a case. He told me I could retain his services for $300.00 and that that was a deal he made for me which I thought was great. Fast forward 7 months later and while still I going the same situation at work, I get no word from Anthony even though I forward all paperwork and documentation of the unfair treatment. He doesn't even check in on me. I contuinally have to call and leave emails and wait days for a response back. After a brief phone discussion with Anthony, I forgo my union representation and request that Anthony start taking action on my behalf. Mind you this is a year into the unfair treatment and I have been no closer to getting the issue resolved with the employer. Anthony asks for $800.00 for the work to start taking place. Long story short, he made me feel as if I had a case which I know I did yet he took my money and did nothing for me. His advice was to lay low and take it because he seen other situations work out bad and employers found ways to get rid of employees even as far as fabrication and planting evidence. He had no courage or pride to fight for me even after taking my money. I realize that $1100 is a deal for an attorney but nothing was accomplished on my behalf. I'm not asking for money back but I do wish to warn others of this mans coward attitude, misleading information, and poor attitude towards representing his clients. I'm writing this because till this day he hasn't even checked on the status of my case. I was cleared of any wrong doing but it took 14months. Totally unacceptable and I feel so discouraged to try and fight the employer already. There were so many details left out of this story in an attempt to keep it short but in all, be warned that this man is a waste of money. You will be disappointed

BEST LAWYER!!!

Anthony was Exceptional! We hired Anthony last minute to work out a problem we were having with opening up a new business in Honolulu. He was very personable, empathetic, and a good listener! He was extremely efficient and considerate of our dead lines. He always got back to us in a timely manner and... kept us posted daily with what progress he had made. He was able to solve our problem and get through the difficult road blocks we were having. He solved our Problem! We could not have done it without him. He knows many people in the community and was able to navigate through them. He worked through bureaucracies that we couldn't! He is very reasonably priced and did not nickel and dime us. He wanted to make sure what he was doing would work before he charged!
