Research and Drafting of a Petition for Protection Order and Support
A lawyer’s legal strategy is only as strong as the documents they present. We help create persuasive, accurate, and ready-to-file legal documents.
In this redacted, 68-page academic paperwork that my team and I created for our class project, we demonstrated the following:
- Craft legal documents with meticulous attention to detail, deep knowledge of relevant laws (e.g. RA 9262 or VAWC in the Philippines).
- Ability to weave disparate facts into a straightforward, compelling narrative.
- Drafting the petition to clearly establish jurisdiction, state the facts of the violation (R.A. 9262 – VAWC) , and articulate the specific reliefs sought (e.g., prohibition of violence, exclusion from residence, financial support).
- Preparing sworn testimonies in the question-and-answer format (Judicial Affidavits) for the Petitioner and supporting third-party witnesses (e.g., friends, helpers), ensuring all testimonial evidence is captured accurately and logically to support the petition’s allegations.
- Systematically organizing, marking, and referencing supporting documentary evidence (Annexes) such as medical certificates , protection orders , marriage/birth certificates , financial statements , and proof of psychological trauma (Dysthymia), making the entire submission complete and easy for the court to review.
