What the client says
Leave a review“What sold me was the client portal. I could see my case progress, my next appointment, and my invoice all in one place. I never had to wonder whether my lawyer forgot about me, because everything was right there.”

Family law client · Davao City
“Dugay na nga na-freeze ang estate sa akong amahan kay wala mi kahibalo asa magsugod. Gi-mapa ni Atty. Gascon ang matag lakang, gibayran ang estate tax, ug na-transfer ang mga titulo ngadto sa amo nga lima ka manununod. Sa unang higayon, nag-istoryahanay na pud ang pamilya imbis nga mag-away.”
Elena Mendoza
Estate settlement client · Davao City
“We got a BIR Letter of Authority and honestly akala nako mawala na among negosyo. Kay si Atty. lawyer ug CPA man, the assessment got answered sa language nga gigamit gyud sa examiner. Na-cut down ang deficiency to a fraction of the original.”
Roberto Santos
BIR audit defense client · Digos
“Selling our family land had a tax angle I didn't even know existed. Because Atty. Gascon is both a lawyer and a CPA, he caught it, computed the capital gains correctly, and structured the sale so we didn't overpay. Having one person handle both sides made a real difference.”
Rolando Espino
Property sale client · Tagum
“Gi-handle niya ang akong petisyon nga diskreto kaayo, bisan ang akong pinakasuod nga mga higala wala makahibalo hangtod ako mismo ang misulti. Prangka siya gikan sa unang panagkita kung unsa ka-dugay ni mahimo, ug wala gyud niya ako gihatagan og bakak nga paglaom.”
Cristina Flores
Family law client · Tagum
“The lot we inherited had a title still naa pa sa pangalan sa akong lola. Gi-buhat sa firm ang extrajudicial settlement, they paid the right taxes, ug gi-proseso ang papeles sa Registry of Deeds. We finally hold a clean title.”
Danilo Reyes
Property title transfer client · Panabo
“A supplier owed us a large balance and kept stalling. The firm sent the demand, secured the claim with an attachment so the assets couldn't quietly disappear, and we recovered most of it without a drawn-out trial. Practical from day one.”
Alfredo Bernardo
Collection case client · Davao City
“Naulaw ko mo-amin nga dili nako kaya bayran ang tanan sa makausa. Gihatagan ko nila og gamay nga paunang bayad ug pleksible nga iskedyul, walay paghukom. Murag firm gyud nga seryoso kung mo-ingon sila og barato nga presyo para sa ordinaryong tawo.”
Lourdes Rivera
Family law client · Davao City
“I came in to register one small company ug mibiya ko nga complete na ang books, BIR registration, ug SEC papers, parehas ra og office ang nag-ayo. Doing the legal side and the accounting side under one roof, dako gyud og time na-save namo.”
Eduardo Castillo
Business formation client · General Santos
“Our SEC filings were years behind and a co-owner dispute was brewing. They cleaned up the records first, then sorted the disagreement through the by-laws without dragging us to court. Calm and methodical.”
Daisy Galang
Corporate client · General Santos
“Dili gyud nako kaya og abogado sa akong kaugalingon. Gidawat nila ang akong kaso sa kontingensiya nga kasabotan ug gi-atiman nila kini sama ka-seryoso sa bisan kinsa nga nagbayad. Wala gyud ko mibati nga limos lang ang akong kaso.”
Marilou Salazar
Family law client · Bansalan
“Magulo kaayo ang bookkeeping sa among cooperative ug nahadlok mi sa penalties. They cleaned up two years of records, gi-ayo ang among payroll filings, and now we actually understand our own financial statements.”
Arturo Domingo
Accounting client · Mati
“Solid work on our incorporation and good advice on the tax side. My only note is that getting a first appointment took a couple of weeks because they're clearly busy. Once we started, though, the service was excellent.”
Gerardo Alcantara
Business formation client · General Santos
“Masakit ug komplikado kaayo ang pag-areglo sa estate sa akong namatay nga bana. Mapailubon kaayo ang firm sa matag pirma, ug gipasabot nila ang estate tax sa mga pulong nga akong masabtan.”
Remedios Castro
Estate settlement client · Cagayan de Oro
“The process took longer than I hoped. Daghan og balik-balik sa BIR, pero gi-update ko nila sa tibuok panahon ug patas man ang resulta. I'd still recommend them, just be ready for government timelines.”
Nestor Morales
Tax compliance client · Davao City
“They registered our brand with the IPOPHL and keep track of the renewal deadlines so we don't lose it. It took longer than I expected because of the office actions, but they explained each step and saw it through.”
Evelyn Sevilla
Trademark client · Davao City
“Ang custody mao ang pinakalisod nga akong naagian. Gipanalipdan niya ang akong mga anak gikan sa kasamok ug gipaningkamotan niya ang kasabotan nga mu-angay gyud para namo. Kalmado, andam, ug wala gyud nagdrama atubangan sa akong mga bata.”
Marivic Pascual
Custody client · Panabo
“Wala gyud siya misaad og result nga dili niya ma-control, which I respected. What he did was prepare me completely ug gi-assert ang tanan nakong rights. I walked into each hearing knowing exactly what would happen.”
Vicente Diaz
Criminal defense client · Tagum
“We had a small breach at our clinic and panicked. They walked us through the NPC notification window, fixed the consent forms we didn't even realize were non-compliant, and trained the staff. The follow-up letter from the Commission was routine because the paperwork was finally in order.”
Concepcion Romualdez
Data privacy client · Davao City
“Nagdali-dali ang among kooperatiba sa wala pa ang mga deadline sa CDA ug nagkagubot ang reserve fund. Kay abogado ug CPA man, na-areglo ang legal nga bahin ug ang bookkeeping nga dungan. Nahiuyon na mi sa balaod karon, ug ang mga miyembro mosalig na sa mga numero.”
Erlinda Ignacio
Cooperative client · Mati
“Our business was drowning in debt ug abi nako og pagsira na lang ang bugtong dalan. They reviewed the books honestly ug gipakita nga mahimo diay ang rehabilitation. The plan kept us running ug nakabayad sa mga creditor sa hinay-hinay.”
Wilson Magno
Corporate rehabilitation client · Cagayan de Oro
“I had overstayed and was terrified of being blacklisted. They told me plainly what the Bureau would require, regularized my status, and handled the paperwork. The government timeline was slow, but they kept me updated the whole way.”
Hiroshi Tanaka
Immigration client · Davao City
“Gipapahawa ko sa trabaho nga walay hustong pahibalo ug wala ko kahibalo nga mubo ra diay ang akong panahon para mu-aksyon. Paspas silang milihok sa proseso sa DOLE ug nakakuha ko og patas nga kasabotan. Salamat gyud nga wala ko naghulat.”
Norma Javier
Labor case client · Panabo
“After a contested local race, importante kaayo ang oras. Na-file nila ang protesta within the deadline ug gi-guide ko sa ballot revision realistically, wala nag-oversell sa chances. Steady hands bisan sa tinuod nga pressure.”
Allan Ventura
Election case client · Digos
“After we lost a family member we were angry and wanted to sue immediately. They read the records first and were honest about what could and could not be proven, then built the case carefully on the medical evidence. The candor mattered as much as the work.”
Salvador Hernandez
Medical malpractice client · Davao City
“Giingnan ko niya og prangka nga adunay huyang nga bahin ang akong kaso ug mas maayo nga makig-areglo kaysa mogasto og duha ka tuig sa korte aron mapildi lang. Mas gipabilhan nako ang kaprangka kaysa bisan unsang saad. Nag-areglo mi ug natipigan nako ang akong tinigom.”

LAW · PRACTICE GROUP
We act for people charged with cyber libel over something they posted, shared, or commented on, and for those defamed online who want to file. Cyber libel is libel committed through a computer system under Section 4(c)(4) of the Cybercrime Prevention Act (RA 10175), and it carries a heavier penalty than ordinary libel. The periods to act are short on both sides, so bring it early. We keep it in plain language and never promise a result.
Led by a dual-licensed Attorney and CPA
Scope
Defense at preliminary investigation: counter-affidavits answering a cyber libel complaint before the prosecutor
Building the recognized defenses where they fit: truth with good motives and justifiable ends, privileged or fair comment on matters of public interest, absence of malice, and non-identifiability of the complainant
Filing for those defamed online: the complaint-affidavit before the prosecutor, coordinated with the NBI Cybercrime Division or the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group
Evidence preservation: capturing the post, the link, the timestamps, and the account, and having it properly authenticated before it disappears
Identifying an anonymous poster through the lawful channels
Venue and jurisdiction questions, which are particular in cyber libel cases
Bail and the protection of the accused's rights once a case is filed in court
Related online-speech complaints, such as unjust vexation, grave threats, and identity-related offenses, that often travel with a libel charge
Appeals and petitions for review of a prosecutor's resolution or a court's ruling
Before you engage
Two things decide most cyber libel matters: the words actually used, and the proof of who published them and when. If you are the one complained of, do not post about the case or message the complainant before counsel reviews it. If you are the one defamed, save everything now, with the full link and the date, because posts get edited and deleted. No lawyer can promise a dismissal or a conviction, and this firm will not. What it can do is read the post against the law, meet the short deadlines, and take the first step that fits your side.
Engagement
Consultation: the firm assesses the post and the timeline, checks for conflicts, and quotes a fee.
Engagement: a signed letter fixes the scope, the milestones, and the fee.
Work: a lawyer of the firm preserves or answers the evidence, drafts the affidavit, and handles the filings and hearings, with a written status report after each significant step.
Resolution and report: you receive the outcome, the papers, and a closing memo you can keep.
Reasonable prices, client first
Razonable Gascon is built for ordinary Filipinos: the highest quality of legal, tax, and accounting work at prices the masses can actually afford. Talk to the firm about a payment plan that works for you, cost should never be the reason a real problem goes unanswered.
Begin your case with a small initial payment and settle the balance on a schedule that fits your situation. No need to pay everything up front.
For qualified cases, the firm can work on a contingency basis, the professional fee is owed only if and when you actually recover.
Meritorious matters for clients who genuinely cannot pay are taken on at reduced or no fee. Access to good counsel should not depend on means.
Not sure what you can manage? Start with a free consultation and the firm will be candid about cost before you commit to anything.
Questions
Do not delete the post or message the complainant, and do not submit a statement before counsel reviews it. A cyber libel complaint at preliminary investigation comes with a short period to file a counter-affidavit, and what you say there shapes the case. Bring the subpoena and a copy of the post the week it arrives. The consultation covers the words used, whether a defense applies, and the strongest answer available to you.
It is possible, which is why this needs a careful read rather than a quick reassurance. Liability turns on what you actually wrote or added and on malice, among other things, and the courts have treated the reach of sharing narrowly. Bring the exact post and your exact words, and the firm will assess where you stand.
Save the evidence first: the full post or message, its link, the date and time, and the account behind it, before it is edited or taken down. The firm can then prepare a complaint-affidavit and coordinate with the NBI Cybercrime Division or the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group. Platforms do not always take content down, and the periods to file are short, so the sooner you bring it the more options remain.
