How we match you to a lawyer

Who picks up your matter, and why.

We do not have a triage desk. Whichever of us takes your Discovery Session runs the case end to end. Below is the rough split so you can ask for someone by name if you want.

Family & Syariah

Lead: Wahab

Support: Hasif (Bahasa); Roy (contested ancillaries)

Civil and Syariah divorce, custody, maintenance, and matrimonial assets are core to Wahab's practice. Hasif sits in the Family Justice Courts most weeks and is often requested by Bahasa-speaking clients. Roy steps in on contested ancillary disputes where the HDB flat or CPF is in play.

Civil disputes

Lead: Roy

Support: Wahab (cross-border / SIAC / DIFC); Hasif (commercial)

Roy litigates civil matters at every level of the Singapore courts, including ICC arbitrations and minority oppression disputes at the High Court. Wahab handles SIAC and DIFC Courts work. Hasif is on most commercial trust and shareholder matters.

Criminal defence

Lead: Wahab

Support: Roy (High Court / Court of Appeal); Hasif (white-collar / juvenile)

Wahab takes the first call on most police-investigation matters and runs State Courts trials. Roy moves on to High Court and Court of Appeal matters. Hasif handles white-collar charges and juvenile-offence matters where age and mitigation drive the outcome.

Common questions

Before you call.

How many lawyers are at A.W. Law LLC, and who are they?

A.W. Law LLC has three Advocates & Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Singapore: Abdul Wahab (Managing Director, admitted 2015), Muhammad Hasif (Associate Director, admitted 2020), and Roy Paul Mukkam (Associate Director, admitted 2013). All three are listed on the Law Society of Singapore's public directory and practise from the firm's Chinatown Point office.

How do I choose which lawyer at A.W. Law to speak to?

You do not need to choose. The 10-min Discovery Session is taken by whichever lawyer would actually run the matter, based on the practice area and language preference. As a rough guide: Wahab takes most family, Syariah, and criminal investigation matters; Roy leads contested civil litigation, High Court trials, and appeals; Hasif handles family, Syariah, civil commercial, and white-collar criminal work. If you have a strong preference, ask for them by name when you book.

What languages do A.W. Law's lawyers speak?

Wahab speaks English, Malay, and Tamil. Hasif speaks English, Malay, and Bahasa Indonesia. Roy speaks English, Malay, and Malayalam. The firm-wide working languages are English, Malay (Bahasa), Mandarin (中文), Tamil (தமிழ்), and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt). Translation staff are on hand for Mandarin and Vietnamese, and certified court interpreters step in when matters reach trial.

Are A.W. Law's lawyers regulated, and where can I verify their credentials?

Yes. All three are admitted Advocates & Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Singapore and members of the Law Society of Singapore. Credentials are publicly verifiable on the Law Society's online directory at lawsociety.org.sg. The firm itself is a registered Singapore law practice, ID A.W. Law LLC, regulated under the Legal Profession Act.

Will I deal with the same lawyer from start to finish, or get passed around?

The same lawyer who takes your Discovery Session runs the case to its end — through filing, hearings, sentencing or settlement, and any appeal. We do not hand files between lawyers as a matter of course. The other two lawyers may step in on a discrete piece (e.g. an arbitration hearing where the lead is double-booked), but only with your prior agreement and at no additional cost.

Where do A.W. Law's lawyers appear in court?

Between the three of us, we appear at the State Courts (Havelock Square), the Family Justice Courts, the Syariah Court of Singapore (Lengkok Bahru), the High Court of Singapore, and the Court of Appeal. We also appear in arbitration at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), and Wahab holds full rights of audience at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts.

How much do A.W. Law's lawyers charge?

Fees are quoted in writing before any paid work starts, typically as a flat fee or capped hourly with a written ceiling. Indicative ranges: a simple uncontested civil divorce S$2,800 – S$5,500; an uncontested Syariah divorce S$2,000 – S$3,800; a plea-and-mitigation in a State Courts criminal matter S$3,500 – S$7,000; a contested civil trial S$15,000 – S$45,000 depending on length. The 10-min Discovery Session is always free. The Legal Aid Bureau and the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS) cover many matters for clients on lower incomes; we'll flag eligibility during the Discovery Session.

Yes. We are at 133 New Bridge Road, #20-03 Chinatown Point — two minutes from Chinatown MRT (NE4 / DT19), Exit E. Walk-ins are welcome on weekdays between 2pm and 5pm.
