2 of my colleagues and I were charged in court for cheating offences. Mr Gino Hardial Singh represented all 3 of us. CPIB investigated us for corruption initially. Mr Singh fought hard. Multiple rounds of representations were made. The quantum in relation to secret profits was reduced from an amount in excess of a million dollars to under 100k. We were all acquitted of one of the charges. In respect of the remaining proceeded cheating charge, we were fined $15K and $10K respectively. We are certain that if Mr Singh had not represented us, we would have faced jail. The matter was resolved on the first day of trial. We thank Mr Singh from the bottom of our hearts!

Thousands and Millions Thanks to Mr. Gino H. Singh.
With your great help and advised, helps me to pull through and eventually having a successful ending.
Helping me get a warning for commuting an offence of mischief.
Thank you very much Sir.

Alvin Chia,

Due to the amount of free time i had during the COVID-19 lockdown period, I committed a silly and juvenile act of petty theft in late 2021 and was arrested.
During the investigation phase, I consulted Gino for his legal advice on how to proceed on this matter and he took up my case confidently. After writing a strong letter of representations to the AGC on my behalf, a letter of warning was issued and obtained in the middle of 2022.
I would like to thank Gino for his confidence and assurance most of all, in winning my case.
To anyone out there who has gotten themselves into trouble of a similar nature, please consult Gino at Abbots Chambers for legal advice and ultimately for the win!!

C,

Gino is a blessing. During an incredibly tough and unsettling time, Gino provided me with sage counsel, warm words, and genuine care. He helped to draft representations to the AGC that were crucial in securing the best outcome possible in my situation.

He was available day and night for a call or to ask for advice. He also charged an extremely reasonable rate for what was a good amount of work.

A huge thank you to Gino. He’s an incredible lawyer and supporter.

J,
