I am forever grateful for the services that my lawyer, Narendra, provided on my behalf! I strongly recommend that individuals, with any type of legal concern, consult A.W. Law LLC.
Long story, short. I”m an expat, so obviously I am clueless about tenancy rights in Singapore. I knew, without a shadow of doubt, that my landlord was violating my Tenancy Agreement. I just had no way to prove this; therefore, I needed representation from a lawyer urgently. My issue was time sensitive and I had less than 30 days to take legal action. I’d called a plethora of law firms and many of them either said: that my issue wasn’t worth the fees that I would incur, not enough time, outrageously expensive, or didn’t respond in a timely manner. Of all the law firms that I’d called on a lone Friday, only A.W. Law LLC assured me that my dispute was valid, I had enough time, and my dispute was overwhelmingly in my favor. Narendra, Pari, and the team worked tirelessly and went above and beyond to meet my needs during the entire process. For example, they maintained contact with me after office hours, staying very late, working on the weekends, and so forth.
All in all, my dispute (complaint) ended in my favor as a tenant, which is extremely rare because in cases involving landlord-tenant disputes, the landlord almost always wins.
Again, a much heartfelt thank you to Narendra and the rest of the team at A.W. Law LLC!
Just settled my case and was very satisfied with all of their staffs in Chinatown point office. They are all very friendly and nice people.
They are experienced and know what they are doing. They handled my case well and proven results.
Their Chinatown Point office has a family vibe which when you go in you will have very nice feeling.
Would recommend any of my friends in any case they needed to consult lawyer.
Only my 2nd Google review. I feel its worth my time writing for them one. Had a hearing with FJC on 20 July 2023.
On my 1st ever consultation with Mr Abdul Wahab, I feel I can vibe with him as he understands my family dynamics, was non-judgemental (compared to other law firms I visited) n walked me through the gameplan. I can also feel his sincerity.
On the day of hearing, Mr Abdul Wahab has a calm demeanour; beaming with confidence. He constantly assured me that things are going to be fine. We stuck to the gameplan (executed smoothly; largely orchestrated by Mr Hasif) and most importantly – the hearing concluded with me attaining the desired outcome.
Basically Mr Hasif and Mr James were the brains in my case (really appreciative of their hours of preparation works; leaving no stones unturned).
Their Chinatown Point office has a family vibe and staff like Ms Pari, Ms Nikki Koh and Ms Leela were cordial towards me.
The fact that they have expanded with offices in Manhattan House and Vietnam, means they are moving towards the right direction with the right team 👍🏻
To be honest, we have no issue with Mr Wahab’s service. Thumbs up and continue your customer service.
