Reviews and Testimonials

• “I have been using the professional services of MWKA for a very personal case over a number of years now. While I have used professional services of other firms internationally, MWKA is easily the best firm for a number of reasons and hence, why they have such an exceptional reputation. From the first day, they provided a clear and logical plan. To this day, that plan has been executed perfectly and within the suggested timeline. Each query I had was dealt with in a friendly and clear way allowing me to understand the full spectrum of options available to me at all times. Each piece of information was communicated in a friendly and genuine manner. This, coupled with the quality of their professional services, provides me with piece of mind that this trustworthy firm have everything under control. For the reasons above, I would not hesitate to describe MWKA as a professional, top-quality and trustworthy firm. I would also like to mention that, although MWKA works as a team, the quality of individual associates here (in particular Prisilla Chong) is higher than anywhere else in the world that I have dealt with. I look forward to continuing working with this firm in the future.” – Dr Aaron Lim, Cork, Ireland

• “Mah Weng Kwai is a big law firm with a reasonable price tag for their services. I had a pleasant experience working with this law firm as they are founded on the premise of truth and righteousness. They try their best to settle the case out of court. At the start of the case, they did a thorough due diligence to make sure that they are representing a credible client. My case was assigned to a young lawyer Ms Prisilla and Mr Chew, a pupil in Chambers, to assist her. Together they did a thorough job at researching the case and compiling all the case documents.” – Ms Thavamalar, Subang Jaya
