I have known Daniel Goh for a long time. He is an excellent lawyer who is competent and gets the job done. He has that ability to combine the grasp/practise of law with the handling of human relationships to make him my go-to lawyer that I will recommend without hesitation to anyone in my area of work. I am sure that he will be very successful in any of his endeavours.

I appreciate the wholesome consultation given by Chin Chin who drafted various Wills and set up some trusts for my entire family. She has understood us individually and given us overview and strategies to customise our respective Wills. She has taken note of our individual desires and circumstances and given us creative solutions.

I was about to embark onto an inherently risky business investment. However, I was concerned for my young family. Hence, I started to look for help to structure my assets to ensure that my family will have monies for their basis living expenses even if my business should fail. I knew I had to ringfence some assets from potential business creditors. However, after approaching many banks and financial institutions, I was not able to find available information and help. Those I approached were either not interested in handling real estate in Trusts or they required immediate substantial assets to be placed into the Trust to make commercial sense to them. I found Chin Chin through her book ‘Instant Legal Protection To Your Family’ and was extremely relieved to find someone like her who was able to set up a Trust for my family to protect my wife and young children should my business venture fails.

Thanks to Dominic and his team, I have recently won an overwhelming victory in court. A very down to earth and talented lawyer, Dominic is dedicated, and very thorough. Nothing escapes him. He has a sharp legal mind and is excellent at sifting out the truths from the lies. Great work Dominic! I really appreciate what you have done for me.

I contacted Johnston through a referral and was highly recommended. He was kind and professional in his communication and explanations for the entire process of this traffic accident case which were physically and mentally traumatising. He also provided necessary assurance along the way and explained how the process and court systems in Singapore work so we knew we were in good hands and how far we are into the process. I have already recommended others who are experiencing similar issues and will continue to recommend Johnston for his hard work and excellent service.

I am very pleased with the services rendered through Daniel Goh and Team from Characterist LLC. Having listened and weighed out the facts presented from my case in a fair and just manner, before proceeding to listen to my inputs as a victim, I felt Daniel and his team took me seriously in the face of claimed evidence and an investigation finding favour for the opposing side. Daniel and his team were responsive to my concerns through the course of the engagement and responsible in keeping me up to date of the process as they presented their findings, resulting in a positive outcome for which I am more than thankful. I will not be afraid to recommend Daniel and his firm to any friends who require legal assistance, having already done so.

Client quoted in Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific (Wills)
My father died leaving no will and an estranged family. I was left with an unenviable situation to apply for a grant of administration. I had located long lost estranged siblings for the process. Characterist LLC did this for me with great resourcefulness, compassion and sensitivity. It was a difficult drawn-out process which also involved some litigation help from the robust litigation team at Characterist LLC before the matter was finalised. The team was reliable and dependable and compassionate throughout the journey.
A Devi
My brother was single and died suddenly. He was successful in his career and we were sure he was a person of means but we had no idea where his assets were located. The team at Characterist LLC diligently located his various assets for distribution.

Client quoted from Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific (Family)
[Johnston] shared the detailed process of marriage dissolution during the first meeting, allowing me to understand the whole procedure. [He] was patient. He listened to my situation before providing me with the various options for my consideration and allowed me time to make my decision to appoint them to represent me. Very fast turnaround. It only took them one week to finish the paper and submit it. I did hear from my friends that it took them about one month for their lawyers to complete their papers.

Dear Johnston, I am truly blessed and grateful to have found you as my family law attorney.

I would also like to commend your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent professionalism. THANK GOD for you and your knowledge of the law.

Dear Lucas and Chin Chin, appreciate your patience and help in this case. Wishing all of you success in your career!
S. T. Gee
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.
S.C. Lee
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.
James. O
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.

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!Josephine L.

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.

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.
Afiq Syazani and Akif Syamil
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!
Hannah Jessline Woon
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.
Helen Chew
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.
June Heng
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.
Seth Ong Zi Yang
Mr Daniel Goh… is first and foremost a person who cares deeply for his clients. As someone who was dealt a permanent injury caused by another road user’s reckless driving, it was heartening to have Daniel serve as my solicitor in seeking redress against the other party and help bring matters to a satisfactory close within a short few months…
Daniel is not your typical lawyer. The passion for his calling and the skilled mind with which he carries out his work for the greatest benefit of others… is the greatest gift any person in need of legal advice could hope for, and I recommend his expertise unreservedly.
