Firm Profile
Founded in 1945 by bosom friends, Alejandro F. de Santos, Jose B. Herrera and Artemio Delfino as an informal partnership to engage in the general practice of law, under the name De Santos, Herrera & Delfino. Subsequently, it became a duly registered professional partnership under the firm name De Santos, Balgos & Perez.
