An honest and sincere lawyer. Gino is straightforward in his legal advice and helped me navigate the ups and downs of my case professionally. When everything seemed bleak he was there to provide the moral support and advice towards the alternatives available. The fact that you can always reach him without any restriction is a huge relief for anyone with tonnes of issues and questions. I highly reccomend Gino to those who are facing tough times for their stupidity and ignorance. At the end of the day Gino’s advices helped me pull through and i cannot be thankful enough that god met me with him. Thank you sir! May we meet again under different circumstances.

Khairul Zaman,

Mr. Gino is a thorough professional who goes out of his way to support his client in distress and despair. He not only scrutinises the minute details while representing but gives his client a true picture of all possible scenarios and options available as per the case. He is a man of his words and doesn’t beat around the bush to engage his clients. His confidence in his knowledge surely is comforting for the client and he never gives up on his client, which makes him unique from others. His way of dealing with his clients is straight forward and upfront with minimum sweet talking but putting up the facts based on his professional knowledge and vast experience. A person who is already under stress, trauma and fear of an investigation, needs a genuine professional who knows his job to protect and represent you, that is without doubt is Mr. Gino. While you are having sleepless nights worried about the outcome, he spends his nights only thinking of ways to protect you by professionally weighing all his options within the legal circumference. Thank you for believing in me during the most difficult time of my life.

GK,

I would recommend this lawyer to be your representative. I was in a serious situation with the law but with Gino’s help, he was able to assess the situation and help me through my difficult time. I am sure without a doubt Gino is able to assess the situation and help lighten your charges. I could have been charged but now I’m given a warning instead with Gino’s help. Thank you so much and God bless.

Oston Jim,

My mom was charged with a criminal offence and i sought help from Mr Gino Hardial Singh. As a result of his extensive legal knowledge he manage to convinced the Singapore Attorney General’s Chambers to reduce the criminal charge brought against my mom. The subsequent sentencing resulted in my mom getting a fine instead of detention. Thanks Mr Gino Hardial Singh for helping my mom.

Benjamin,
