Frequently Asked Questions

Some of the questions clients commonly raise before engaging our services.

What should I do immediately after being charged with a criminal offence?

Contact a lawyer as early as possible — ideally before making any statements to the police. A solicitor can advise you on your rights, assist with bail applications, and begin reviewing the charge sheet and accompanying documents. Early engagement generally gives counsel more opportunity to identify issues and prepare a considered response.

How do Syariah and civil family law proceedings differ in Malaysia?

In Malaysia, family law jurisdiction depends on the religion of the parties. Matters involving Muslim individuals — such as divorce, custody, maintenance, and matrimonial assets — generally fall under the Syariah court of the relevant state. Civil courts deal with the same matters for non-Muslims. Some questions, particularly around asset division where one party is Muslim and the other is not, can involve both systems. An initial consultation helps determine the correct forum for your circumstances.

How long does a property transfer typically take in Malaysia?

For a standard subsale transaction, the process from execution of the sale and purchase agreement to completion of the title transfer at the land office generally takes between three and six months. The timeline depends on factors such as the type of property title (individual, strata, or master title), whether a bank loan is involved, and the processing time at the relevant land office or authority.

Are initial consultations confidential?

Yes. All communications between a client and their solicitor are protected by legal professional privilege. Information shared in a consultation — whether or not you proceed to engage us — is treated with strict professional discretion.

What information should I bring to my first appointment?

For criminal matters: any charge sheet, notice to attend, or police correspondence you have received, along with your MyKad or passport. For Syariah matters: your marriage certificate, any existing court orders, and relevant correspondence. For conveyancing: the property title documents, the draft SPA if available, and your identity documentation. Bringing what you have helps us give you a more useful first assessment.
