My Skills
I am a lifetime member of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. I worked as a court attorney in the Philippine Court of Appeals, where I handled cases involving annulment & nullity of marriages and cases involving real estate disputes. As an attorney licensed both in the state of Texas and in the Philippines, I advise Filipinos, former Filipino citizens, and American citizens on matters involving Philippine laws including family law, property law, and business law. Born and raised in the Philippines, I speak and write Tagalog fluently.
