Beyond expectation. Efficient, detail oriented, considerate, knowledgeable …
We were very fortunate and happy to run into Nicholas’ firm in dealing with SG legal system, not easy for an expat. He clearly knows how to make and present a case.
Nicolas represented me through a criminal prosecution. At the beginning, the situation was bleak. Nicolas expertly analyzed my case, and made me aware of options I was not aware of. He helped me to understand the possible outcomes and make an informed decision about pleading or going to trial. He was also tactical and strategic, recommending alternatives when roadblocks were put in place. I would recommend him to anyone looking for detailed and intelligent representation. Throughout my case, I felt that he was going far beyond the basics, thinking of arguments and legal tools to represent me. The outcome was favorable, and I could not recommend him more.
Nicolas did a great job with my case. Although I came to him very late in the process, he did good research and worked hard in defending me. His advice was sound and professional. At the end, we won the case.
