Testimonials

We engaged Jacque Law LLC to advise us on various commercial and corporate related matters.  Jacqueline and Mao Lin gave sound and practical advice to guide us throughout the entire process.  Jacqueline understands the nature of our business.  In giving advice, she considers both the legal aspects as well as what makes commercial sense for the business and that is very helpful to our business team leaders.  Jacqueline and her team routinely runs the extra mile for us and are always professional and very responsive.  It was a pleasure to work with them

 Eunice Hooi - Director, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte Ltd 

I was named as the executor in my late uncle’s will and needed to find an estate lawyer to assist with obtaining the Grant of Probate for my late uncle’s estate. I was recommended to Jacque Law by my relative – who used Jacque Law for his estate planning and preparation of his will. The probate process was a hassle free experience for me. The Grant of Probate was extracted quickly within a month and their rates were reasonable.

When I first filed for a contested divorce, I was represented by another divorce lawyer. I went through the first round of the family court mediation process and felt that I was not getting the guidance and advice I required on the divorce process. I was asking for child maintenance, alimony and my fair share of the matrimonial home. However, I felt I was always on the defensive and my then lawyer did not appear to be advancing my needs. It was a stressful period for me as I often had to worry about the progress of my divorce proceedings. A friend of mine then recommended Jacqueline to me for a second opinion as Jacqueline was assisting her with her child custody and maintenance case in the family courts. Initially, I only wanted to seek a second legal opinion to see how I can improve my position, however, after my first consultation with Jacqueline and Wei Chiat, I was impressed with their strategy and their knowledge of family law. I felt that my needs were put first and they were approachable and reassured all my doubts. I made a decision for Jacque Law to represent me in my divorce – a decision which I did not regret.  Eventually, I managed to achieve a settlement of the divorce case with my ex-husband, and I am pleased with the outcome and very satisfied with the legal advice I received.

My sons and I would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Jacqueline and Jerold, following the successful outcome you have achieved for me through negotiations and mediation, hence concluding our medical negligence law suit filed against a local hospital.

Through these months, we have always felt assured that our legal case was in good hands. You have been very patient with us and our questions as laymen, and explained your rationale and actions to us.  We were confident that we have made the best, informed decisions in this case, guided by your advice and expertise.

I would like to say I appreciate all that has been done. Thank you!

Mrs Kwan

I engaged Jacqueline for a potential medical negligence matter, which was resolved through mediation. 

Jacqueline was very empathetic towards my predicament and transparent with her legal advice. Her team was stellar as well; responsive, detailed and thorough. 

Thank you to you and your team for your help! Your kindness and informality took the pressure off a stressful situation, which was immensely helpful for me.

Ms JY Tan

We would like to thank Jacque Law for all their help and advice in a medical negligence high court case against a doctor and a local hospital.  The Singapore high court law suit was concluded when both sides reached an amicable outcome after a successful Singapore Mediation Centre mediation.   We found that the experience of Jacqueline, having acted for and against doctors, highly valuable as she had been able to pre-empt what her opposing side defending the doctor might come up with and we felt reassured.   The team comprising of Tan Mao Lin, Chea Wei Chiat, and Jerold Wong, were helpful, approachable, and addressed all our queries in a timely manner.  And all of them were ethically ruthless in uncovering every bit of the truth, making the case a lot more favourable than we initially thought.  My advice to any client of a medical legal case would be to not delay and seek help immediately from a trustworthy law firm. And that is a highly relevant advice. The memory of the events by the patient and the contemporaneous medical records have a huge weightage in considering the merit of a case and an experienced firm would be able to help retrieve the records and guide the patient on the legal process.  Again, thank you all for helping to achieve a fair outcome and importantly allowing the family to get a good closure to the matter against a big healthcare entity. 

Mr Kwan

The Silent Struggle: Importance of one’s Mental Capacity

Mental capacity is a fundamental aspect of our cognitive abilities, enabling us to make decisions, process information, and understand the world around us. However, in some cases, individuals may experience a gradual or sudden decline in mental capacity, leading to significant challenges in their daily lives.

Loss of mental capacity can occur due to various factors, including aging, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia, brain injuries, stroke, mental health disorders, or intellectual disabilities. The decline in mental capacity can manifest differently in individuals, affecting their ability to communicate, manage daily tasks, and maintain relationships.

As such, it is becoming more and more important to make a Lasting Power of Attorney so that you can be prepared for the unexpected.

Steps you may wish to take if you are a victim of a medical negligence claim

The consequence of an unfortunate event occurring due to a doctor’s negligence can be severe and at times, the injury can be long-term. What can you do if you have suffered injury as a result of a doctor’s action during a medical treatment? Potentially, you may have a claim to an action in tort against the doctor (i.e. medical negligence).

If you are facing a potential medical negligence issue against your doctor, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible because such a claim is only valid for a period of 3 years after the day you have knowledge of the injury which was caused by the potential breach.
