Oh, I'm so sorry. I did not look too closely at the list but there are law firms there that take cases outside Metro Manila...
In Dumaguete, I was referring to Atty. Marcelino Mikhail Lee L. Maxino (Phone 035 225-4323 or 035 422-1536, with office last known to me as 4/F Plaza Maria Luisa Hotel, Legaspi St. corner Sta. Catalina St., Dumaguete City). jellyfish and grandpainak previously suggested him in an earlier thread Anyone know a good lawyer in Dumaguete?
In addition, there's a Filipina practitioner in New York City who is into immigration advocacies and could be worth the while inquiring whether she would handle SSDI cases for American expats in the Philippines:
Rhodora M. Roy-Raterta, Esq.
The Migrant Center at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi
Church of St. Francis of Assisi
135 West 31st Street
New York, NY 10001
(212) 736-8500 ext. 305 / rraterta@stfrancisnyc.org
She graduated one year ahead of Mikh at UP. Her husband - Atty. Erle Stanley B. Raterta is from Duma and a graduate of SU - works as a paralegal in NY.
