About

A practice built on fewer, deeper files.

Atty. Katrina Borra is a New York-admitted attorney whose practice spans Manila and New York. She built Borra Law for a specific kind of client — the Filipino family with a story that crosses borders, the remote worker eyeing a Spanish address, the spouse whose divorce abroad has left their civil status in limbo back home.

The practice deliberately stays small. There are no associates juggling your file between meetings, no paralegals translating your story into theirs. You speak to the lawyer who will sign your petition.

For Spanish immigration matters, Atty. Borra works in close partnership with Spanish co-counsel — her husband, a licensed Spanish lawyer — who handles in-country filings, consulate liaison, and post-arrival registrations. Two lawyers on two continents, one coordinated file.

How We Work

A measured, four-step process.

01

Initial assessment

A short, free conversation to determine fit and likely path. If we are not the right firm for you, we will say so plainly.

02

Document review

We audit what you have, identify gaps, and produce a written checklist and timeline before any retainer is signed.

03

Filing & advocacy

Drafting, filing, and follow-through with consulates and courts. You are copied on every meaningful step.

04

Post-decision

TIE registration in Spain. PSA annotation in the Philippines. We see things through to the document in your hand.

We do not take every case that walks through the door. We take the ones where we can move the needle — and we tell you which is which on the first call.

An initial assessment costs nothing and may save you years. Most clients hear back the same business day.
