I sought the services of this legal firm for assistance with a Post-Nuptial Deed. What stood out the most about the services provided by this legal firm was their exceptional attention to detail and the commitment to understanding our unique needs.

A maintenance enforcement order was taken against me with demands that was unreasonable. I was unable to find any meaningful recourse and came across Yuen Law online amongst other law firms, I am glad I have engaged their services and even more grateful for their dedication and steadfastness. I could not have a better team of lawyers with me. The professionalism and approachability from lawyers Kaysha and Hong Hui deserves recognition. Headed by director Mr Lim, the team helped me navigate through very emotional and difficult situations. Their understanding and guidance were crucial for the successful outcome of my trial. The demand from the opposing party were challenged and mitigated with great acumen following the concepts of therapeutic justice and I felt that with the team, they were not only lawyers but individuals that understood my situation and circumstances on a personal level. I would highly recommend them for matters regarding family law.
Peta Latimer
I recently engaged Yuen Law to help me with a personal matter related to my newborn after being recommended to them via a friend who works in the field. As a pragmatic person, I needed someone who combined expertise, empathy and speed to get through a complex international structure without adding unnecessary complexity. Fung Peen and his team did just that – they took the time to understand my personal circumstance, and with no judgement, proceeded to advise quickly and systemically. The way the team worked – clear responses to my questions, very good document management and tabling of document changes for easy review – really helped me understand Singapore law, my rights and make the best decisions for next steps. Done mostly over zoom and email, I enjoyed meeting the team in person to close the matter and would highly recommend Yuen Law as a local firm with international understanding & experience for anything family matters related.
Helen W
I’m currently separating from a Singaporean citizen overseas. I reached out to Yuen Law LLC to see whether it would be possible as foreign spouse to an order made by Singaporean Court for my ex-spouse’s assets to be disclosed. For these to be included in the matrimonial pool so that the assets can be distributed fairly. The office responded on the day I send an initial enquiry and Bernice organised a zoom call the same week. I had an initial meeting with Lim Yuen Peen who understood the situation and offered his honest opinion. An open and no-nonsense approach, keeping in mind cost, time and even thinking beyond my initial enquiry. Should my matter escalate, I would have no reservation to use Mr Lim as my lawyer in the future.

Mr Lim and Si Xuan has been very helpful during the whole LOA application process, it was difficult moment and hectic for our family but we managed to get the LOA done without much difficulties as I have a minor involved. They also always very supportive in trying to minimised their client expenses, totally recommended.

I was referred by my sister-in-law, in trying to seek the Grant of Letters of Administration. The service provided by Mr Lim Fung Peen and his team was most “efficient” including having a zoom session to answer specific concerns. I would recommend the services for its “fuss free” and “efficient” way of administering the entire process. Si Xuan was most responsive in settling the meetings and administrative requirements.
Jason Tan
We wish to thank Mr Lim Fung Peen and his team for the excellent legal services in helping us with our recent Probate application. The entire process was truly fuss-free, even though it involves work in both Singapore and Malaysia.
