Before you take any action, you need to understand where you stand. We provide the “know-how” through simplified resources and public talks. This helps you avoid common pitfalls and stay informed about your rights in matters like Divorce, employment disputes, or minor Criminal charges.

Full Court Representation Under CLAS and LASCO
For serious matters where your future is at stake, you need a pro bono lawyer in Singapore to speak for you. For eligible cases under CLAS or LASCO, we provide full legal representation. This means having a qualified pro bono lawyer manage your trial, documents, and Court appearances so you don’t have to face the judge alone.
Many Singaporeans don’t realise they qualify for free legal advice in Singapore, especially after the 2026 income threshold increase. Eligibility is assessed through two tests: a “Means Test” (financial check) and a “Merits Test” (legal check).
As of 2026, the Ministry of Law has expanded access to justice by significantly raising the income thresholds to support more households. You may be eligible for a pro bono lawyer in Singapore if you meet the following updated criteria:
Income Threshold (PCHI)
Your average monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI) must be $1,650 or less. (This is a major increase from the previous $1,050 limit, specifically designed to help the “Squeezed Middle-Class”).
Property Value
The Annual Value of your primary residence must be $21,000 or less. For most people this covers the common HDB flat types, from a smaller unit up to an executive flat.
Savings & Investments
Your non-CPF savings and investments should not exceed $12,000 (raised from $10,000 to account for the rising cost of living). For those aged 60 and above, this limit is higher at $40,000.
Legal Merit
Your case must have “merit,” meaning there are reasonable legal grounds to bring or defend it in Court. A pro bono lawyer assesses this with you before taking the case on.

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.
Fantastic service and an organization with a big heart. A big shout out to Jonathan who helped me so much in emotional support as well as good useful advise. Jonathan went out of his way to check-in with me and cared for our family. Highly recommended!
Received excellent and prompt service from Jonathan. He was very helpful in guiding me to available resources and followed up consistently. Thank you Jonathan.
I reached out to Jonathan seeking for advice and he was helpful and incredibly detailed. He even followed up on my case and took a call on Sunday to go through my case with me.
I was very impressed with the attentiveness to detail and the comprehensive approach to address my concerns. Jonathan shows a genuine desire to help people with legal issues, he is professional, empathetic and respectful. I would certainly recommend him.
Had a free consultation on Divorce matter and child matters with Jonathan and thank you for his precious time. Came direct to the point and provided some useful suggestions for my necessary action. Highly recommended to approach his service if needed to as i am sure he will be able to tap on his expertise for any family law matters.
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.
