About Me

Hello and welcome to AttyStela.com. This is the “filtered”version of “About Me”. If you would like the “unfiltered version”, please click here.

My name is Stela Benitez, often referred to as “Attorney Stela,” “Attorney S,” or simply Stela. I am a lawyer by profession and a technology enthusiast by passion, committed to blending these fields to drive innovation and enhance public service.

Professional Background

My professional journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 2011, followed by a rigorous path balancing full-time employment, a part-time job, and law studies, culminating in my Juris Doctor degree. Currently, I am furthering my expertise by pursuing an LLM in Innovation, Technology, and the Law at the University of Edinburgh Law School.

Career Overview

My career commenced in the Human Resources sector, where I honed my skills in hiring, training, and labor relations. This experience fostered a deep understanding of organizational dynamics and the importance of advocating for employees’ rights. I have also worked at the Supreme Court of the Philippines and was assigned to a Regional Trial Court, where I was able to practice and apply theoretical knowledge to actual cases dealing with lives and properties. Driven by a commitment to protect and uphold privacy, I transitioned into the field of Data Privacy, focusing on the intricacies of the Data Privacy Act and GDPR.

As a legal professional, I have diversified my practice to encompass criminal, commercial, and tech law. My current roles include serving as an HR professional, Data Privacy Specialist, and Legal Counsel for a private company, alongside providing consulting services. Collaborating with innovative minds, our mission is to propel technology forward in the Philippines, particularly in enhancing public service.

Core Values

My professional and personal endeavors are guided by two fundamental principles: utmost confidentiality and unwavering integrity. These values are the cornerstone of my decision-making process and professional conduct.

Personal Interests

Outside of my professional commitments, I am an avid learner and enthusiast of AI, data privacy, and legal developments. Photography and digital design are among my creative outlets, allowing me to capture and share unique perspectives. Recently, I have embraced the challenge of diving, exploring both the underwater world and my personal resilience.

Purpose of This Website

Sharing Knowledge: Growing up with my grandmother, who instilled in me the importance of education, I understand the value of accessible information. My upbringing taught me that education, dignity, and integrity are irreplaceable assets. This website is a platform to share knowledge and provide insights, particularly for those facing legal challenges without the means to afford costly services.

Paying It Forward: In an effort to give back to the community, I offer my expertise to help others navigate their legal inquiries. By analyzing and researching questions based on the provided facts, I aim to shed light on various legal issues without imposing financial burdens.

Community Initiatives

In December 2024, I will launch a campaign focused on supporting the elderly, orphaned, and abandoned members of our community. These vulnerable groups often face hardships alone, and it is our collective responsibility to offer support. To facilitate contributions, I am setting up donation options via PayPal, Cashapp, and GCash, enabling easy and impactful giving.

In Summary

My journey is characterized by a commitment to continual growth, professional excellence, and community service. Whether through navigating complex legal landscapes, advocating for technological advancements, or engaging in creative pursuits, I strive to live by the ethos of passion, curiosity, genuineness, and integrity.
