I have engaged PKWA for my divorce proceedings after doing some research and I have made the right choice. My case was assigned to their lawyer, Derek Choo and legal manager, Firdaus. Derek is very thoughtful and efficient; he has explained my rights over the matrimonial home and assets. He has provided valuable guidance during mediation session. He even followed up my case and called during his reservist to discuss.Firdaus is very responsive and followed up timely in administrative works. He even helped to deliver the legal paper personally to my ex-spouse after the 1st attempt failed. Both gentlemen have gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure things are on track. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the final judgement. Highly recommended PKWA for their excellent service.

Christina seemed very stern in the beginning. But after a few interaction, we like it that she gets to the point and get things done. It is not easy emotionally for us to be handlings probates/ administration matters, and tends to be a little extra sensitive. I supposed she needs to be firm at times to bring us to a logical mode to help us settle things fast. This is not an easy job. Appreciate the very clear and firm actions that helped us moved forward. Thank you.

Words cannot express my thanks to PKWA and to Ms. Charlene Nah and Mr. Jason Mak for their kind help. My divorce case went through mediation, district court hearing and then appeal hearing. It went on for more than two years and to make the matters even more complicated, I am doing this from overseas.Charlene and Jason are there with me every step of the way, providing their professional service and also some personal touch to make the case easier for me emotionally. They are very experienced with Singapore Family Law and always have my best interest at heart.At the latter part of the district hearing and appeal hearing, I was struggling with legal fees, because the case went on much longer than I expected, due to my ex-husband's stubbornness. Charlene went out of her way to help me cope with the difficulties, even encouraged and helped me to represent myself at appeal court. The outcome is very favorable and there's no way I would be able to accomplish that without Charlene and Jason's kind help.Divorce is unfortunate and difficult in its nature, and you'd need your lawyers to have your best interest at heart at all times to overcome the difficulties. PWKA is such a law firm you can fully trust. I can't thank them enough.

Recently we have to claim our late sister’s funds from a bank in Singapore. As we (her siblings) are all residing overseas and moreover our late sister did not leave a will made it very difficult. I searched online for a Singapore law firm and approached PKWA lawyers with just a simple email l and was most pleased with the immediate attention and care Christina Lim and Charlene Nah showed. Within a few days we were on the way to apply for a Reseal of Grant of Letter of Administration. The cost was very reasonable and importantly there were no hiccups at all on our application even in the midst of covid. We had zoom meetings with Charlene and she demonstrated to us her clear knowledge on the legal matters involved. Within a few short months we were able to achieve our aim. We would strongly recommend anyone seeking legal help to contact PKWA and special thanks to Christina and Charlene.

While looking for a law firm to apply for the Grant of Probate, an ex-classmate referred PKWA to me. In less than 30 minutes after I submitted my enquiry, I received a call from Ms Christina Lim, with her purpose to understand more on my requests. From then on, Christina has never failed to provide timely update on the progress, be it through meetings at PKWA Office, via phone calls or emails. Christina is firm, professional, efficient and attentive. She is very clear in her instructions and prepares me what to expect. Though it took longer than the expected time frame to obtain the Grant of Probate due to additional documents required by the court, Christina explained patiently to keep me in the loop of the developments. Subsequently when the Grant of Probate was obtained, Christina took the trouble to brief me how to go about with this document to settle with the banks.I would like to commend on the excellent work done by Ms Christina Lim and her team for obtaining the Grant of Probate for my late father. It has facilitated my family to settle the assets smoothly. Strongly recommend PKWA to anyone who require legal advice/service.Thank you.

I must thank Christina Lim sincerely for her valuable advice and guiding me through the process of getting my Grant for Letter of Administration without any hitch. She is patient, responsive, professional, meticulous and systematic. She helped to speed up the process and getting what I want in the shortest possible timeframe. This help in minimising the cost of my legal fees. Which I believe could add up quite lot if I have to follow through with all the original list of assets I proposed earlier. All because some of these items do not require probate.I would strongly recommend anyone with a problem to go to PKWA Law Practice LLC as they provide affordable and effective legal services.Michael Yen

Our dad passed away few months back and left us with a will and we needed help from lawyer firm to get a Grant of Probate. Initially we went down to another lawyer to seek consultation but it ended up getting us feeling more confused than before.Luckily, we found PKWA from the Internet and proceeded to contact them via WhatApps to book for first free consultation appointment. The lady also told us how to get to their office, what documents to bring and the deposit amount if we want them to proceed immediately with the case.During the first appointment at their office, they are very professional and advised us on all the steps that we will need to go through as well as the estimated timeline. We only went down to their office a total of 3 times within a span of around 1.5 months and we got our Grant of Probate. Also, during the last session with them, they re-iterated the steps that we will need to execute after getting grant of probate again just in case we forgot about it.All in all, PKWA is very professional, fast and gave good concise advice to us thus the lawyer fees are also very reasonable. Definitely recommended!
