Verdicts/Settlements/Cases of Note/Favorite Win:
One of the most meaningful victories of my career, while serving as a Public Attorney in the Philippines, was securing an acquittal in a sexual assault case where prosecution relied on medical evidence. What presented as corroborating evidence ultimately became exculpatory. This was thorough preparation meeting science in the pursuit of justice. It was a day when justice was truly served.
