AREAS OF EXPERTISE

As an attorney, my primary focus lies in corporate and taxation matters. Leveraging my background as a licensed CPA with extensive experience in accounting, I am well-equipped to handle general corporate services, legal due diligence, company registration and incorporation, and the drafting and review of contracts. My proficiency in this domain ensures that my clients’ business interests are protected and optimized.

In addition to corporate and taxation matters, I also have considerable experience handling criminal, civil, and administrative cases. My expertise extends to representing clients in complex land disputes, facilitating the settlement of estates, and providing compassionate counsel on family law matters.

With my background as a Court Attorney in the Court of Appeals, I also possess specialized experience in handling appellate proceedings before both the Court of Appeals and the Philippine Supreme Court. This valuable experience ensures that my clients receive proficient and strategic representation in all levels of the judicial system.

LICENSED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (CPA) AND LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER (REB)

Being a licensed CPA and REB allows me to offer a unique advantage to clients seeking legal services in the realms of finance, real estate, and accounting. This diverse set of licenses enables me to holistically understand and address the intricate legal aspects intertwined with financial and real estate transactions.

Professional Client Care

 Throughout my career, while I have had the privilege of assisting both corporate and individual clients across a wide range of industries, my practice predominantly focused on serving clients in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), construction, real estate, retail, food, hotel, and car dealership sectors. My extensive industry experience allows me to tailor my legal advice and solutions to address the specific needs and challenges unique to each industry.

 As your legal representative, you can expect my dedicated, personalized attention, and commitment to achieving your desired outcomes. I believe in establishing open communication and building strong client relationships based on trust and reliability. Together, we can navigate the complexities of the legal landscape and work towards your success.

Thank you for considering my legal services. I look forward to assisting you with your legal needs.
