Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Looking for a Philippine attorney to review and handle an Estafa (fraud) case against an individual in the Philippines. Losses exceed $6,000 USD. The case has already been fully documented. All evidence has been organized and is available through a secure documentation portal. This includes communications, financial records, contracts, a detailed timeline, and supporting legal materials. A significant new piece of evidence strengthens the case: On 25 September 2025, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) confirmed in writing that the primary respondent, Eliseo Cabusao, does not hold a valid treasure-hunting permit and that no such permit is active in Davao del Sur. This directly contradicts representations made during our dealings. What I Need Review the prepared case documentation (secure access provided after initial screening). Provide a fixed fee quote for handling the entire engagement, including any litigation you believe would be required. I am not looking for an hourly estimate. Provide a separate fixed fee for preparing and sending a formal demand letter, as this may be the preferred first step. Advise on the recommended legal strategy after reviewing the documentation. Requirements Active IBP member in good standing. Experience handling Estafa (Article 315, Revised Penal Code) or similar fraud cases. Fluent in English. Able to communicate by email or WhatsApp. When applying, please include: Your experience with Estafa or fraud cases. Whether you recommend starting with a demand letter. Your fixed fee for the full engagement. Your fixed fee for a demand letter only.
