It can be distressing when one faces the end of their marriage, or gets into trouble with the law. Our Community Law Practice is here to help. We approach our divorce and separation matters with the utmost care and discretion, with the aim to help our clients preserve familial relationships amidst the end of their marriages..
We are experienced in criminal defence and mitigation, having assisted many a repentant client in pleading their case before the Courts. More recently, we have represented clients in mitigating their sentences for COVID-19 related offences.
As part of our efforts to serve the community at large, our lawyers are on the panel of solicitors for the Legal Aid Bureau and the Law Society’s Criminal Legal Aid Scheme. Through the years, we have assisted many litigants referred to us with the same care and professionalism as we do with our non-legally aided clients.
Our team has also assisted many clients with their Estate Planning needs, including drafting and advising on wills, testamentary dispositions, trusts and gifts. We have also assisted our clients in making arrangements to ensure that their interests are preserved in the event they lose their mental capacity or faculties, and are equipped to assist our clients with inheritance and estate related matters.
