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.

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

Outstanding service from Lawyer Anthony Aguinaldo

Lawyer Aguinaldo is the type of lawyer you would see in a movie taking on tough human rights cases for the sake of justice. He's a straight talker, informative, helpful, and attentive. He hears you out, and then gives you the bottom line of your chances of victory inside or outside of court. I nev...er felt rushed or as if I was taking up too much of his time. In fact, his advice was fundamental to a positive outcome in my case. I would strongly and unreservedly recommend anyone who is having trouble with labor issues (especially here in Hawaii, where things are very corrupt) consult with Anthony. He'll give you both knowledge and certainty about the paths you must take to justice.

Unprofessional.

I ended up with a huge judgement against me from a former employer in a workers comp case, because Mr Aguinaldo did not withdraw the litigation, even though I specifically asked him about it. Then he told me not to worry about it, because judgement are hard to collect and I should just move from the... state! Also he never sent me any breakdown for his billing and services.

Recommend highly

We've been very impressed. Anthony Aguinaldo has been extremely knowledgeable and competent on matters we have retained him for over the last two years. He obtained great results for us. Honest, smart, and very experienced is what we needed and wanted to find in a lawyer. We finally found one in ...Mr. Aguinaldo and use him for all our legal matters now. Couldn't be more satisfied.
