The History of Historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles, CA
Historic Filipinotown grew organically. Many moved there from other ethnic neighborhoods around Los Angeles, such as Little Tokyo. Others were recent immigrants from the Philippines.
When California lifted restrictions on property ownership by Asians and Pacific Islanders in the 1950s, Filipinos bought residential and commercial property between Temple Street and Beverly Boulevard.
Many of the area’s landmarks predate the neighborhood’s 2002 recognition as “Historic Filipinotown.” The Filipino Christian Church was built in 1915, and the St. Columban Filipino Catholic Church was built in 1967.
Today, the neighborhood blends the old and new. It has diverse shops and restaurants with Filipino, Latino, and Asian businesses sitting side by side.

This means that you will not pay any legal fees if you lose your case. And since the fees get paid at the end of the case, the lawyer will not require any upfront payments to start your case.
