Q: How Does Your Firm Charge for Legal Services?

We believe in total transparency. While some matters are billed hourly, we move toward “fixed-fee” or “value-based” models whenever possible. This ensures you have clear costs and no surprises, helping you protect your financial interests.

Q: Will My Case Be Handled by Experienced Lawyers in Singapore?

Yes. Every matter at Tembusu Law is overseen by senior practitioners, including our founder, Jonathan Wong. We use a team-based approach to ensure your case benefits from both legal expertise and strategic case management.

Q: How Long Does a Typical Legal Matter Take to Resolve?

Every case is different, but our goal is always a lean and efficient resolution. By using modern case management tools, we aim to resolve your disputes or business matters as quickly as the legal process allows, keeping you updated at every step.

Q: Is the Information I Share with the Firm Confidential?

Absolutely. Professional integrity and client confidentiality are the foundations of our practice. Anything you discuss with our lawyers in Singapore, even during a free strategy session, is strictly protected and kept private.

Q: How Do I Choose the Right Law Firm in Singapore?

The right law firm in Singapore for your situation is one that specialises in your type of legal matter, communicates clearly, and gives you honest advice from day one, not just the answer you want to hear. Look for a firm that offers transparent pricing, a defined process, and lawyers who take the time to understand your goals. At Tembusu Law, we offer a free initial assessment so you can speak to us before making any commitment.

Whether you are navigating a Divorce or facing a Criminal charge, Tembusu Law is a dedicated firm in Singapore that provides honest advice, clear costs, and a strategy built around your goals, not legal jargon.

James Goh BengTengGoogle Review

Was just surfing for free legal advice and out pops a message from Tembusu Law LLC. Got an immediate whats app text from Jonathan, which was very impressive. I didn’t expect someone to contact me in such a short time for free advice. Jonathan asked a few questions about my case and I feedback to him whatever was relevant. After a few days, Jonathan gave me a legal firm contact that is suitable to handle my case. In fact, he said to just wait for the legal firm to call me. He mentioned short consultation should be free and fees will only apply once the lawyer thinks I have a good case to put up.

Jonathan was prompt in his reply, requested as much info as possible for his review so that he could offer appropriate advice. His approach was transparent and he was not pushy at all. He gave me the option to think it over before I actually decide whether to engage his service. Thank you very much, Jonathan, for being so understanding.
