What Our Clients Say

Characterist

I trust in Characterist LLC.

Daniel and his team at Characterist LLC are what I’d describe as stellar. They are responsive, reasonable and reliable. I feel they have a similar work culture with my practice and beliefs - that is to care and help our patients (clients) as our family and friends. Time and again, I have referred some frustrated patients who had sub-par legal service and advice from their lawyers to Daniel and they always come back happy yet relieved. I trust in Characterist LLC. They deliver.

The value of their services is indeed from their true character.

Johnston Lee and his team are a great bunch of people who handle legal matters professionally and also put personal attention to them. I have a great experience with the team in Characterist handling the sensitive issues on a timely manner to prevent more angst for me over the complicated legal matters. The value of their services is indeed from their true character.

I was in a financial difficulty before I met with an unfortunate accident which gave me more trouble managing my recovery and claims. Daniel had gone out of the way to help me get through my accident claim by providing assistance along the course of it. Johnston had been very professional and helpful along the way answering my queries patiently and breaking down things i did not understand into layman terms. Both of them have been modest and never ever over promised me and always surprised me with the results. Overall I have been very satisfied all the way from the start to the end of the case. I would highly recommend Characterist LLC for any legal matters.

Thank you very much for the service and advice!

Thank you very much for the service and advice you had provided to us. The clarity and care you took to explain the procedures and avenues of recourse available to us enabled our mitigation to achieve its intended conclusion. Our utmost appreciation to Gisele as well for her assistance on the administrative matters; the information was clear and prompt. We wish to express our deepest gratitude for your understanding of our financial situation and enabling us to settle the fees gradually. We would also like to apologise if there had been any shortcomings on our part. Many thanks once again and we would certainly engage Characterist if we require legal services in future.

Keep up the good work, Mr Johnston Lee!

Mr Johnston Lee is a very patient, humble and well-mannered lawyer. Though sometimes I forward him with long emails, he is patient to read through the emails and reply me accordingly. One of the most prominent thing I would like to compliment him is though I have provided him with much information for my divorce matter, he came up with neutral facts to justify the grounds of divorce (though initially I have the intention to ask him to mention the prominent incidents) thus showing his expertise in handling the case. I will definitely recommend this law firm and Mr Johnston Lee to my friends for legal advice. Keep up the good work, Mr Johnston Lee!

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for all your help. I am pleased with the results of the case. Especially Johnston, as you went above and beyond to every query I made and ensuring it meets my expectation on the outcome. I can fully trust you with your professionalism and expertise which make me feel at ease and rest assured. I will definitely recommend Johnston and Daniel from Characterist LLC to anyone who require any legal support.

Once again thank you Johnston and Daniel for all your time and effort during this journey.

I am happy to have Chin Chin help me set up a Property Trust for my son. I believe her cross expertise in both areas of family law and property law helped me structure a comprehensive arrangement for my family. The details took into account our preferences and addressed our concerns. My wife and I were initially not able to find sufficiently good legal help but glad that we finally found satisfactory help at Characterist LLC. I have directed all my children to look for her for future transactions.

I appreciate how Chin Chin is consistently available and ready to help me all the way whenever I reach out to her.

Having the thought that Chin Chin is always there for me really gives me a peace of mind and relieves me from stress. Even if the matter I’m consulting her about is not within her specialisation, she will divert me to the right people to resolve the issues. Also, Chin Chin gets things done for me very speedily. Words cannot describe how deeply grateful I am to her for all her stellar legal services and more. She is really a dear friend. I’m blessed!

The process of decoupling was confusing to us. We are thankful to have found someone as experienced as Chin Chin to help us analyse and strategise before we embarked on our series of action plans. It brought us clarity and enables us to confidently take next steps. We ended up saving a huge sum of monies with ABSD waived on our third property. She was clear and concise.

And I am very satisfied with the very reasonable fees for your legal advice…

When I was so depressed, your cheering me up was great for me. Daniel gave great service to me even if I am a foreigner.

Mr. Daniel and his team helped me get over the most difficult time of my life.

Mr. Daniel and his team helped me get over the most difficult time of my life. I was distressed and too stressful until I consult with him and his team.

Dear Lucas and Chin Chin, appreciate your patience and help in this case. Wishing all of you success in your career!

Chin Chin saved me from many traps in a purchase from an unlicensed developer. I only got to realise it when my neighbours encountered grave problems that limited their rights to recover their loss which they suffered from the delay and defects. She secured my rights at the onset in the initial agreement and I was in a much better place than my neighbours.

Characterist

Daniel and his team enabled me to focus on my father’s medical treatment and rehabilitation without having to worry about how the case was progressing.

Big thanks to Daniel and his team for the successful claim. We are very relieved and pleased with the outcome

Every consultation with Chin Chin crystallizes my thoughts and lifts me out of my struggles and confusion. I am always humbled by Chin Chin’s consistent frank and professional advice over the years. Thank you for giving your all to put my best interests first. I appreciate your initiative to really understand my family dynamics and needs before giving me sound and effective advice.
