Clement Tan provided quick preliminary advice at no charge. Thanks, much appreciated.

Confidential,

Clement was a God send in my dispute. He has intricate knowledge of processes and is able to advise concisely, and simplify terms to help laymen and equip them to deal with the challenges that may arise in regular career pursuits. If you need a listening ear coupled with a sharp mind, he is the go-to guy, champion for the little guy. Top notch.
Thank you so much, Clement.
