“Getting Muslim men to think twice about divorce” – The Straits Times, 20 September 2017
My most sincere thank you to Miss Shahirah, for taking the time out of her busy schedule and representing my divorce case. I was not sure at first about my chances of winning my case, even with the evidence I had with me but fortunately with her hard work, this has come true.
She has been very informative, knowledgeable, professional and forward thinking. She has always sought to provide and share with me the best information or advice and my next cause of actions whenever I’m not sure of what to do. Not forgetting her 2 paralegals on my case, Asyura and Ameera, have been awesome too in helping out to give some advice as well during the case.
After one and half years with this stressful case, and also dealing with the stress at home for 4 years already, it finally came to an end.
Alhamdulillah, I was overwhelmed when I heard the outcome of the court proceedings. Being a father who wants to the best for the kids and wrongly accused for something I did not do, getting the joint custody plus the care and control, I felt I have won my life back despite the circumstances of the other party getting more in terms of payment. Getting the kids means a lot to me after the 4 years of suffering of mental torture and exhaustion to the kids and to me as well.
With that, I would to express my heartfelt gratitude to Miss Shahirah and her team, for helping me through this tough time and aiding a new beginning of my life. Thank you once again for the legal advice, time and efforts. And thank you RW LAW.
Madam Rafidah is Allah-sent. She made me feel comfortable talking to her about difficult and traumatic issues. She explained everything to me in a comprehensive and yet concise manner in which I could understand. Even before I decide to hire her, she did not hesitate to share everything she can share, without holding back any information unless I hire her, unlike a couple of lawyers I saw before I met her. This is something I appreciate and shows her sincerity. She worked in a no-nonsense and professional manner yet highly sensitive to my needs during those unbearable times. She was prompt to answer my many queries and greatly eased my anxiety. The Affidavit she drafted for me was impeccable and that I believe is because she made sure my issues were heard.
Asyura, her Paralegal, was also amazing in her own quiet ways, often coming up with good points for my case. I highly recommend Madam Rafidah as she is an excellent lawyer and she has a great team at R.W. Law.
Mashaaallah, Tabarakallah! I’m glad I trusted my instinct and engaged Ms Rafidah as my lawyer. I’ve spoken to few and have heard about Ms Rafidah through my friend’s friend who has engaged her previously.
Ms Rafidah explained the process of the case step by step to make me understand it well. It has been an overwhelming journey for me and i found it easy to communicate with her.
She and her team are excellent. Thank you to Asyura and Syahirah for all their help wirh my queries.
Ms Rafidah ensured she did her best to represent her client well. Alhamdulillah and my heartfelt gratitude to you for all the care and work to ensure that a fair and desirable outcomes were achieved.
Thank you for your dua and advices. I highly recommend Ms Rafidah for Syariah matters

Caring, responsive, detailed, provide clear guidance, always provide honest opinion, non-judgemental, will never fail to extend morale support when needed and most importantly knows when to crack a joke to make you calm down in her own way.
This is how I would describe Ms. Rafidah Wahid. I’m sure like everyone else going through the ordeal of having to give evidence, it’s natural to have all sorts of feeling … nervous, anxiety initially and panicking with loads of uncertainties.
Appointing a divorce lawyer is not as easy as I thought and I ended up with a bad experience with my first lawyer whom talks like a champion because of the years of experience. That’s when I decided to switch and appoint R.W. Law Practice. Ms. Rafidah didn’t overpromise during my first visit however, she always try to put herself in my shoe with full of empathy and explained the complete process with full confidence. She even suggested that we need to amend the case statement and explain why it’s key to winning the case. Every steps of the way including her strategies including Dua’ ( prayers ) to keep me calm and believe that we are on track and have done our best to succeed while leaving the rest to Allah s.w.t.
Not once I heard of her reassuring me by condemning or negative remarks about the opposition lawyer or it’s firm.
All I received after every meeting is positive vibes. She made me so comfortable to open up and ensure that I am clear before I leave the meeting. Unlike my previous experience,
Rafidah has a strong team whom are always fully updated on my case and always on top of it. Believe it or not, even my ex-partner rave about Ms. Rafidah’s courage and her immediate response with detailed explanation during the hearing to his families. With the grace of Allah s.w.t., I am blessed to have met Ms. Rafidah and for her to agree to take on my case.
A BIG Thank You to Ms. Rafidah and everyone at R.W. Law Practice including Shahirah Nassir, Nur Asyura and Nur Illya. I pray R.W. Law Practice all the success and many more years to come with the blessing from Allah s.w.t.
