Christine Abu-Bangcola
“Thoroughness and professionalism. She obtained for us a firm grasp of seminal factual matters in a relatively short period.”
Hazelmer Fernandez
“She is very knowledgeable about the process of my case. She also offered several helpful solutions to our hurdles during the case. She has treated me very professionally and has updated me every time on the status of my case.”
“Conducts fast, proper research on the issues and builds solid legal opinions and advice.”
Aris Gulapa
“Aris is a problem-solver. He understands the organization’s objectives and helps us find a way to achieve them. Other law firms just tell us what we cannot do, without helping guide us to what we can do. Aris is an integral part of the team.”
“Aris Gulapa is a very active participant in the drafting of the IRR. Unlike other senior partners in other law firms who only show up once and don’t show up again, Aris Gulapa makes sure to be present and actively engaged, giving valuable insight and advice.”
