Thank you.
What Our Client Says about us
My name is Jason Wong and I’m the Managing Director of a company called Id Industries Sdn Bhd. I had engaged the services of Yap Siew Yee & Co. on a number of occasions to represent me in settling some ownership disputes between directors of the company as well as some disputes in contract claims.
I found that the legal representation that I had received was very professional and relevant to the specific cases that was in dispute, especially from Ms. Yap. From the first, consultation on the given case, I was given a broad specifications on the viability of my case when I was a defendant and on another occasion when I was the plaintiff. These discussions are very informative because it represent the legal standpoint instead of from a laymen’s perspective. And the outcome of these discussion will already set the tone on the future options available for me to pursue.
And on 3 occasions that I had needed to litigate in court, I find that the preparation was concise and encompassing of all details. The familiarisation and preparation of clients like me to face a formidable judge or juries is very important for me to be able to hold my composure when on the stand. And the calming composure she was able to impose on me during cross examination is indeed helpful and necessary.
And I specifically remembered that on one occasion when I was in a plaintiff position in seeking a settlement on a contract dispute, when the defendant had “made up an elaborate story line” that garnered considerable pity from the judge. Ms Yap, my lawyer on that occasion, was able to find bits and pieces of contradicting details that cracked the “elaborate story line” of the defendant. That this was done spontaneously in the court proceeding was astounding to say the least. Firstly, for the depth of her understanding of the industry that I am in and secondly to do it as a matter of factly …………
And as I may add, on those few cases, I had obtained a favourable judgement. And this was despite the fact that the original odds were greatly stacked against me.
If ever a person is in any legal dispute and have to settle those dispute in court, Yap Siew Yee & Co. is definitely a firm that any person or organisation would want to have on their side.
