Atty. Neil Allan Rivera is the Managing Partner of Parada Rivera Evardone & Salalima Attorneys-at-Law, also known as PRESLAW. He is a seasoned litigation and criminal defense lawyer with a complementary practice in corporate advisory, employment law, commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance, and enterprise-level legal risk management.
Atty. Rivera’s foremost area of practice is litigation, with particular emphasis on criminal defense and high-stakes disputes. He has represented clients in criminal, civil, commercial, labor, and administrative cases, including matters before trial courts, appellate courts, and the Supreme Court. His litigation practice is marked by careful preparation, strategic case assessment, disciplined advocacy, and a practical focus on resolving disputes without unnecessary delay.
He approaches every dispute with the view that effective representation requires both force and judgment. While prepared to fully litigate when necessary, he is equally focused on early risk assessment, practical resolution, and protecting the client from avoidable legal, commercial, and reputational exposure. His goal is not to prolong conflict, but to advance the client’s interests with clarity, strategy, and decisive legal action.
