Thread: A client needs a GOOD LAWYER in BKK

I'm not kidding.

I received an email from a client who needs a good lawyer in BKK. It seems a very nice case. Field: Company, fraud, Etc.

We rarely go in BKK (but have some cases there). I know law firms in BKK, I worked for one. However, this client neesd someone with experience, speaking English, that is honest and competent. And that won't charge crazily.

I would rather like to receive PRIVATE messages or EMAILS than posting names on this forum. I just want to help this guy.

I am sure there are plenty of good Thai lawyers in BKK... Thanks for your help.
(I also ask a friend of mine, foreign lawyer who used to work in Phuket and he was in the same situation as mine...not able to quickly find a name...)

Seb,

Sounds to me like you don't need a good lawyer, but a good litigator. If that's the case, you'll struggle to find one who speaks good English in BKK.

Tried to PM you but my post count not high enough. Please PM me with your email address so that I can forward you some details

My lawyer buggered off to Australia, so I can't help you I'm afraid.

I received 3 private messages in 24 hours. That's perfect and enough. I will advise this guy to contact all of them and chose the one that fits him.

Yes, it's a litigator that he needs... I'm from Canada, Quebec. Over there, we do not have differences between lawyer, attorney, barrister, litigator, etc. Anyone with a license can practice in any field, and plead in any Court even the Supreme Court. However, lawyers tends to specialize in a field... but this is done AFTER you got your license and pass all the exams for all fields.

Mediators (often for family law) have a special license and can be from different background (psychology, law, etc.). A Notary CAN NOT be a lawyer and a Lawyer CAN NOT BE a notary in my province. A notary mostly used for wills, transfer or a property and uncontested cases, mostly involving property and inheritance.

Thanks for all input.

its a difficult subject, to say, this one is a good lawyer,

that why I would only say,

have a look on the lawyer list from the american embassy,

then, you will not be responsible for mistakes of your advise

One of our members is a farang lawyer but he's in Chaing Mai, but maybe he could help or has some contacts in Bkk.

^Thanks for drawing my attention to this Scamps.

Unfortunately I'm no help at all sorry. The only person I could've thought of to recommend in this situation is no longer in BKK.

I have a law firm in BKK
PM me your details and I will email the contact and address.
