Law office litigation: civil, criminal, labour, family and inheritance cases through to enforcement
Court work is handled by lawyers licensed by the Lawyers Council in the law office within our group. We start from your actual documents, assess the evidence and the limitation period, then say plainly whether to negotiate, mediate or file — before any step is taken.

Short answer
Should your matter be litigated, negotiated or mediated — and what do you prepare before meeting a lawyer?
The first things that matter are the limitation period and the real weight of your evidence — not who feels right. The lawyer reads the contract, transfer records, message threads and related documents, then compares three routes: a demand letter and negotiation, formal mediation, or filing suit — weighing time, cost and the realistic chance of actually being paid after judgment. Many matters end in a settlement that pays sooner than litigating to the end, so we do not recommend suing in every case, and we never promise an outcome.

Bring these and the first meeting is enough
- A dated timeline of events — short is fine, but the order must be right
- Contracts, purchase orders, receipts and every transfer record
- Message threads, emails and chat logs — uncut
- Any summons, agency letter or order received, with the date you received it
- Whatever you know of the other side: name, address, company number and known assets
- Company documents if a company is a party, such as a recent affidavit
What this service does not do
- No promised outcome or amount — that is the court's decision
- No promised completion date — the court's calendar and adjournments govern it
- We decline any matter requiring false documents or false testimony
- We do not publish fees; they depend on the claim value and complexity
- We are not a government agency and cannot expedite any court or agency queue
- If suing is not worth it or the case is weak, we say so and propose another route
Answered without the sales pitch
Can I still sue — what is the limitation period?
It differs by the type of claim — breach of contract, tort, unpaid wages — and starts from the point the law fixes, so it must be checked against your actual documents. Do not wait; some claims have less time left than people expect.
How are legal fees calculated?
Generally from the claim value, complexity, number of hearings and document work, quoted in writing before acceptance. Court filing fees are the court's own rates, separate from professional fees.
Must I attend every hearing?
Not every one — the lawyer attends many alone. But hearings where you testify, or mediation where you must decide, need you present. We tell you in advance which ones matter.
Is mediation better than suing?
In many cases yes — faster, cheaper and paid sooner — but it means conceding part of the claim. We put the numbers and timing side by side before you decide.
Does winning mean getting paid?
Not automatically. If the debtor does not pay, assets must be traced, attached and auctioned. Where there are no assets, a judgment may be unenforceable — which is why we assess this before filing.
I was defrauded online — what can be done?
Preserve everything: destination account, transfer slips and chat logs. Report to the police and the bank quickly, since any chance of freezing funds depends on speed. Then consider the criminal complaint and the civil recovery together.
The company is sued — are directors personally liable?
As a rule the company answers in its own name, but directors can be personally liable in some situations — personal guarantees, acting without authority, or offences the law pins on management. It turns on the facts.
Do you take cases in other provinces?
Yes. Our own offices are Bangkok and Khon Kaen; elsewhere we travel for hearings and meet clients online. Travel costs are set out in the quotation from the start.
Can foreign clients work in English?
Yes — advice and summaries in English. Filings to a Thai court must be in Thai, so we prepare the translations and their certification in the same set.
What should I bring to a first consultation?
A dated timeline, contracts and transfer records, uncut message threads, and any summons or letter with the date you received it. The more complete the documents, the more accurate the assessment.
