Before you hire a firm

What a listing means, and how to check the lawyer.

  1. A listing is a registration, not a rating

    The Anti-Money Laundering Act covers anyone who provides certain services, such as managing client money or assets, or creating and managing companies. Firms that offer these services register with the Anti-Money Laundering Council. A listing shows the firm registered. It is not a license to practise, a quality rating, or a recommendation.

    Anti-Money Laundering Act, Sec. 3(a)(7), as amended by R.A. 10365 ↗

  2. Check the lawyer, not only the firm

    Every Philippine lawyer appears on the Supreme Court’s list of lawyers with a Roll of Attorneys number and date of admission. Search it by last name. Papers a lawyer files in court must also show their Roll, IBP, and PTR numbers and MCLE compliance, so you can ask any lawyer for them.

    Supreme Court list of lawyers ↗ · Integrated Bar of the Philippines ↗

  3. Check the notary before you sign

    A notary public must hold a current commission for the city or province where you sign. The notary’s signature block shows the commission number and its expiry date. Sign only in the notary’s presence, with a valid ID.

  4. Cannot afford a lawyer?

    The Public Attorney’s Office, IBP legal aid, and law school legal aid clinics help people who qualify, for free.
