QUESTIONNAIRE
Mostly through referrals from satisfied former clients.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?Honesty and personal attention to their case.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?While it is not absolutely crucial, it does help to know the immigration judges and officers in your local district.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?Whether the caller should take the time to come for a consultation or not. Based on the initial phone call, I will ask someone to come in for a consultation unless I think that they have a viable case.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?Personal, hands-on attention to all of my cases.

What are your other interests in addition to law?Sports (football, basketball, tennis, baseball), reading (fiction, novels).
Are you involved in your community?Yes, I volunteer at pro bono events for people with immigration law questions. I was an officer of the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California for 3 years, one year serving as president.
