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!

Client testimonials

SW

I find PKWA very professional in their approach. Reception was efficient and polite. Few days ago, Jane Ng attended to us and she accorded 15 mins of her time to attend to my mother to clarify and explain again some points of mother’s Will which she made a few years ago. I wanted to pay but she firmly declined. Jane was also very patient. Kudos to PKWA!

Eddie Tan

I needed to obtain a Grant of Probate to execute my late mother’s will and was at a loss of what to do. Christina Lim guided me and explained to me clearly what to do and the expected time frame of the whole procedure. She even guided me of the process after I have obtained the Grant of Probate. The most important point is that I never have to wait for her at the appointed time for the several meetings I have with her. The appointed time slot is always on the dot.

Esther Tan

Prior to engaging the PKWA law firm, the law firm provided free consultation. During the free consultation, they explained to me what is Grant of Probate and the processes very clearly and professionally without any rush. Answered all my queries and provided good advice too. I than decided to engage PKWA law firm to apply for Grant of Probate. The fees quoted was clearly explained and the fees was reasonable without any hidden costs. The law firm kept updating me with the progress with the Courts. The progress was very smooth and PKWA Family Law got my Grant of Probate from the Courts within a short time. My appreciation and thanks to PKWA Family Law for their good advice, good value, reasonable fees and professional services.

Obtained the Grant of Admin. letter within 1 month

Lydia Lim

My family and I are stoked that PKWA Family Law has helped us so much in the matter where MCA is concerned, we struggled with our previous lawyer who was not only sloppy in their work but defensive. A lot of time was wasted while the case was developing. When we switched to PKWA, we were wowed by the efficiency and responsiveness of all legal personnel involved in our matters. We saw the light at the end of the tunnel just within a timeframe of fewer than 2 months. Everything was swift and precise. Thank you, Charlene, Christina for the hard work.

The professionalism and help rendered by the firm was beyond words. I had some difficulties during the period of sales of my property, due to the passing of my mother. The team guided me and did most of the work to meet the required timeline. In fact, they completed much earlier, hence helping me avoid unnecessary ad hocs. Definitely thankful for their hardwork and dedication. No regrets on my end. Great work PKWA Law Practice!

The experience with them is excellent.

I went to PKWA for the selling and buying of my house previously. This time, mum passed away and we needed to apply for a letter of administration. I called PKWA and was assigned Jane. She is fantastic and super efficient. She guided on the documents to bring to see her. A simple list. After the initial meetup (2weeks later), went to have oath taken. And 2weeks, letter of administration was ready. Super fast! I thank Jane for the excellent service and professionalism. She then advised on the next course of action of HDB area office, open an estate bank account etc. Wonderful! Thank you.

PKWA was introduced to me from a relative as I needed to obtain the Grant of Probate to execute my late father's will. I had no clue of how to proceed and thankfully with clear advice and directions from PKWA Law and manager Christina Lim, the whole process went well and duration was shorter than expected. On the day of collection of the Grant of Probate, PKWA Law went through again with me on how and what should be done on the second half of the procedures. Thank you once again and will highly recommend the service of PKWA Law.

Susan Loh

Mr Pan Wai Liong has been our lawyer for the past 20 years. Mr Pan had taken care of all the legal documents for the sales and purchases of our 4 properties over the years. Mr Pan is a professional lawyer that we can count upon to give sound and helpful advice before and after the purchase of our properties. He is very experienced in handing all the legal documentation of properties. 4 years ago, we consulted Mr Pan to do our Will and LPA. He is a very meticulous and detailed lawyer. He analyzed our needs, provided useful advice and crafted the wills to take care of our best interests. We would definitely engage his service again if we need any legal advice. We would also recommend his professional service to my children, relatives and friends!

Ming Xiang Tham

Engaged PKWA Law for Mental Capacity Act application. Once the medical report was obtained, the Court Order was received within 2-3 months. The process was communicated clearly and efficiently throughout. Recommended to engage services with them!

Myrna T

Both Executors are unanimous in our assessment that Firdaus made the whole process, simple and painless, with knowledgeable information and minimum demands on our time. No more coming down for repeated signing of affidavits, no more piecemeal requests for documentation, and most important the updates were frequent, and to the point. The probate process was completed in less than a month - quite miraculous by any standards. The whole experience has been a breadth of fresh air. We will have no hesitation in recommending PKWA and Firdaus in particular, to anyone seeking help with probate matters. And If the rest of your practice is as pleasant and efficient as this experience, we would gladly consider returning for our other legal needs. Congratulations on running a tight ship. And in particular our gratitude and appreciation to Firdaus.

Jon Jambu

I went to PKWA law practice when I was unable to withdraw my late mother’s savings from the bank.

Thank you Mr Firdaus.

Yuh Shing Tay

Nursidah Malik

I am grateful for the prompt service of PKWA Law and Mr Muhammad Firdaus in granting me the Letter of Administration. Everything was swift and hassle-free. The first session (which was free) was very helpful because he informed me of all the documents I need to collate before I can proceed. The legal fee is also one of the most affordable ones in Singapore. Thank you for the great service!
