Allison Aquino: Paulino Aquino (also known as Paul Aquino) was readmitted to the State Bar of California on August 6, 1991. For over nineteen years Mr. Aquino has had no disciplinary problems with the State Bar of California and continues to proudly serve the Filipino community.

Allison Aquino: Hello,

I just sent in the comment below regarding my partner, Paul Aquino. It should actually state either "For nearly nineteen years...." or "For over eighteen years...."

I appreciate your anticipated cooperation in including this information as it would otherwise be misrepresentative of the true facts, which implies that Paul is not licensed to practice law in California. The information regarding Paul's readmission is essential for your readers to also know since he has continued to significantly contribute to the Filipino community for nearly the past nineteen years.

Despite his inclusion on your website, I commend your efforts to ensure that the Filipino community is provided with the information needed to protect their legal interests.

Fil-Am Attorney Watch: Thank you for your comments. Do you wish to have them posted?

We are just starting out on this web site and your advocacy of rehabilition is probably also appropriate.

If yes, I guess we might have another round of discussion. If no, understood completely.

Allison Aquino: Hello,

I absolutely insist that my comment about his readmission is posted and that it be done so as soon as possible. It is highly inaccurate otherwise. Thank you in advance.

Fil-Am Attorney Watch: What is meant by "no disciplinary problems?" Does that mean zero bar complaints in 19 years, or something more but less than formal discipline?

I believe service to the community might be outside of the scope of this web page.

Allison Aquino: Hello,

Your website is clearly reporting only items found on the state bar website and as such "no disciplinary problems" is sufficient explanation.

Fil-Am Attorney Watch: Atty. Aquino, you are the one who wished to speak to the other matters you definitely wanted posted. You expanded the horizon of the discussion, not us. Our intent was only to report the bar's statements.

So we can either stay to that or have this broader discussion. However, stating "no discilinary problems" is a sufficient explanation is not enough for our readers.

Thank you for contacting Fil-Am-Attorney-Watch.
