This is not legal advice and not a lawyer referral service. Balikbayan Buddy lists publicly available information. It does not recommend, endorse, or match anyone to a lawyer.

Listing is not vetting. Bar status was checked on the State Bar of California licensee page on the date shown on each profile. Check it again before you hire, and read the EOIR list of currently disciplined practitioners.

In the Philippines a notary public is a lawyer. In the United States a notary is not a lawyer and cannot give immigration advice. Non-attorney “immigration consultants,” notarios, and document preparers are not lawyers. California regulates immigration consultants under the Immigration Consultants Act (Business and Professions Code §§ 22440–22449). See USCIS Avoid Scams.

Nonprofit DOJ-recognized organizations with accredited representatives are a legitimate, often lower-cost option. They are not law firms. Confirm current recognition on the EOIR roster.
