Common questions
Before you call.
Do I need to speak English?
No. We regularly take matters in Malay, Tamil, and Vietnamese, as well as English. Let us know your preferred language when you reach out.
How much will it cost?
The first consultation is free. After that, we quote in writing before any billable work starts — so you decide with full information.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Just yourself. If you already have documents (summons, letters, agreements), bring copies. If not, we'll tell you what to collect next.
Do you handle Syariah matters?
Yes. We have significant Syariah Court experience — including Talak, Khuluk, and Fasakh divorces, plus the ancillary matters that follow.
Can I reach you after office hours?
Weekdays until 10pm on WhatsApp for urgent matters. We aim to reply within the same evening.
Where are you based?
133 New Bridge Road, #20-03 Chinatown Point. Two minutes from Chinatown MRT Exit E. Street parking is available along New Bridge Road.
