SERVICES
CIVIL LITIGATION AND OTHER MATTERS
The firm handles property cases and concerns, such as cancellation of transfer certificates of title and encumbrances, registration of land, extrajudicial settlement of estates, ejectment, reconveyance, judicial partition of property, management of roads and open spaces in subdivisions, and boundary disputes between property owners. We have also successfully helped clients in the collection of sums of money; contract review; declaration of nullity of marriage / annulment of marriage; adoption; financial support of minor children; and collection on damages.
CRIMINAL LITIGATION
For criminal cases, the firm has handled the defense of clients at the prosecutor’s office, trial court, and appellate courts. We have also assisted in the private prosecution of cases, ensuring that our clients are able to collect damages in the criminal case.
We have also prosecuted cases involving estafa, theft, qualified theft, and violation of bouncing checks, to collect on debts.
EXPROPRIATION
The firm represents a privately-owned public utility in its efforts to secure land for the delivery of its goods and services to the public. We ensure that in expropriating property, due process is observed, and statutory requirements are followed. We balance the urgency of acquisition of land and/or right of way on one hand, and strict compliance with the law on the other.
LABOR STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
When management has concerns regarding labor, we advise clients on how to properly comply with the law. The firm partners have managed their own separate businesses aside from the law office. Hence, they recognize the daily concerns of running an enterprise. Our labor advice is tailored to avoid costly dispute resolution before the national labor relations commission—by guiding clients to proper compliance with labor laws.
