About:
I am self-motivated Filipino lawyer driven by passion for justice, a desire to serve others, and a love for learning. Litigation is my main practice area. I have experience handling civil and criminal cases, labor disputes, including special proceedings and administrative proceedings, representing clients before trial courts, appellate courts and government agencies. I also advise clients on corporate law: legal compliance, contract evaluation, and due diligence. I like finding excellent solutions to complex legal challenges. I value the trust my clients place in me and strive to build strong, professional relationships. I aspire to leave a positive impact not only on my clients, but on all I encounter in the practice of law. I am also a published independent musician and an avid fan of Star Wars and basketball. Combining my passion for music and lawyering, I also provide counsel to independent artists and producers in the Philippine music industry.
