We engaged PKWA Law to apply for the Grant of Probate. Ms Christina Lim was assigned to advise us. We found her to be friendly, courteous and thorough in her work. She offered prompt service and we obtained the Grant of Probate within two months.

My sister and I are very pleased with the legal advice given by Ms Wendy Lim, Legal Manager - guiding us step by step through the Grant of Probate application. Wendy is patient with us and answered our questions in lay man's terms so that we can understand. We collected our GOP on 4/3/25 and would definitely recommend friends/relatives to engage her service for writing Will and Lasting Power of Attorney etc.

I've had my fair share of crossing paths and engaging law firms for various issues. PKWA is by far the most professional and helpful. Wendy Lim was our legal manager, she was able to patiently communicate with my dad in mandarin, explaining the procedures of what would happen next and an accurate timeline of how long proceedings would take. Highly recommend engaging them!

I researched quite extensively - talking with social workers, counsellors and checking information available on social media to see how best I could handle my late brother's estate matters.Finally, I was convinced to approach PKWA Law Practice LLC for advice. On my first free consultation with Ms. Christina Lim, Legal Manager, I felt very comfortable as she explained very clearly what needs to be done. The legal fees charged were reasonable, in my opinion, considering the professionalism that was displayed by her. I was impressed on how expeditiously the whole process was coordinated and handled, plus the valuable advices that I got from her along the way.I needed help and was glad I could get it professionally from PKWA Law Practice LLC. Thank You Very Much !

Christina attended to me and assisted with required Probate and Letter of Admin letters. Process of getting certain info from gov agencies was tedious as I had to apply for leave during office hours to officially put in the requests personally. But once the info was provided to Christina, processing it was quite fast and scheduling of meetings was straightforward. Would recommend anyone looking for straightforward engagements to consider them.

Ms Charlene was appointed to me for my case in 2018. She has been a very helpful lawyer, going out of her way to assist me in my case. She gave many advises with her expertise. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in her field. With the assistance of Mr Jason, PKWA made my experience a pleasant one, as they would give me advises when necessary, and aid me in providing the necessary information.PKWA is also a helpful firm, as they fairly price their services. They do not overcharge for their services and provide quality service for their client. I will definitely use PKWA as my lawyer if the opportunity arises, especially from Ms Charlene and Jason.

Since the demise of my late brother, my family was in a lost of what to do with his investment account. We were told to get a grant of probate or letter of administrator by the bank from a lawyer. Upon some search from the web, we found PKWA law and I am directed to Jennifer. She is very helpful and detailed in assisting with the letter of administrator. Just within a few meeting, the letter of administrator is ready within a month as compared to 3 to 6 months from other entities. She even went the extra miles to explain on what is to be done with the documents when proceeding to the banks. On a side note, there price is very transparent and no hidden cost. I would highly recommend PKWA. Thanks Jennifer and team for their assistance during our difficult period.
