Clients may contact us regarding matters such as:

• Civil litigation

• Criminal cases

• Fraud and embezzlement

• Contract disputes

• Debt recovery

• Property disputes

• Family and divorce matters

• Business disputes

• Employment disputes

• Court summons and police summons

• Appeals

• Enforcement proceedings

• Notary Public and document certification

Each case should be reviewed based on its own facts, documents, evidence, applicable law, and procedural deadlines.

Civil Lawyer in Bangkok

A civil lawyer in Thailand may assist when a dispute involves money, contracts, property, damages, business obligations, or other private legal rights.

Common civil matters include:

Breach of Contract

Contract disputes may arise when one party fails to make payment, deliver goods, perform agreed services, transfer property, or comply with other contractual obligations.

Before filing a lawsuit, a lawyer can review the contract, correspondence, payment records, invoices, and other evidence to determine the available legal options.

Debt Recovery

If an individual or company owes money and refuses to pay, legal action may be available to recover the debt.

Important issues may include:

• Evidence of the debt

• Written agreements

• Payment records

• Acknowledgment of debt

• Limitation periods

• Assets available for enforcement

Obtaining a court judgment is sometimes only the first stage. Enforcement against the debtor's assets may also be necessary.

Property and Real Estate Disputes

Property disputes in Thailand can involve ownership, possession, leases, purchase agreements, deposits, mortgages, construction agreements, or disputes between co-owners.

Legal advice should ideally be obtained before signing important property documents or taking action that could affect possession or ownership rights.

Damages and Tort Claims

A person who suffers damage caused by another person's wrongful act may have a civil claim for compensation, depending on the circumstances and evidence.

Claims may involve property damage, personal losses, business losses, or other forms of legally recoverable damage.

Criminal Lawyer in Thailand

Being accused of a criminal offence in Thailand can have serious consequences. Early legal advice can be important, particularly after receiving a police summons, arrest warrant, court summons, or formal criminal complaint.

Our criminal lawyer services in Thailand may include reviewing the allegations, examining evidence, advising on legal strategy, preparing statements, attending proceedings, and representing clients before the court.

Common criminal matters include:

Fraud

Fraud cases often involve allegations that a person dishonestly deceived another person and obtained property or another benefit as a result.

However, not every failed transaction or unpaid debt automatically constitutes criminal fraud. The facts surrounding the transaction, representations made before payment, intention of the parties, and supporting evidence can be critical.

Embezzlement

Embezzlement cases may arise when a person lawfully receives or possesses property belonging to another person but is later accused of dishonestly converting that property.

The legal distinction between a civil dispute and a criminal offence can be particularly important in these cases.

Forgery and Use of Forged Documents

Cases involving allegedly forged signatures, altered documents, company records, contracts, powers of attorney, or other documents may require careful examination of both documentary and witness evidence.

Theft and Property Offences

A person accused of theft or another property offence should obtain legal advice before giving detailed statements if there is uncertainty about the allegations.

The circumstances of possession, ownership, intention, and available evidence may significantly affect the case.

Received a Police Summons in Thailand?

Receiving a police summons does not necessarily mean that you have already been convicted or that the allegations are proven.

However, the document should not be ignored.

Before attending the police station, it is advisable to understand:

• What offence is alleged

• Whether you are being called as a suspect, accused person, or witness

• What documents should be prepared

• What evidence may support your position

• Whether a lawyer should attend with you

Statements given during an investigation can become important evidence later in the proceedings.

If you have received a police summons and need legal advice, call 083-884-3287 to arrange a consultation.

Received a Court Summons or Lawsuit?

If you receive documents from a Thai court, check the hearing date and any deadline for submitting a defence immediately.

Missing a deadline can seriously affect your legal position.

A lawyer can review:

• The complaint

• Claims made by the plaintiff or prosecutor

• Supporting documents

• Relevant contracts

• Communications between the parties

• Available witnesses

• Possible legal defences

Preparing the case early generally provides more time to identify evidence and develop an appropriate strategy.

Bangkok Litigation Lawyer

Litigation requires more than simply filing documents with the court.

Effective case preparation may include:

1. Reviewing the facts and chronology

2. Identifying relevant legal issues

3. Examining documentary evidence

4. Identifying witnesses

5. Assessing strengths and weaknesses

6. Preparing pleadings and legal arguments

7. Negotiating where settlement may be beneficial

8. Preparing witnesses for examination

9. Representing the client during court proceedings

Where possible, we first evaluate whether litigation, negotiation, mediation, or another legal approach is most appropriate for the client's objectives.

Lawyer for Foreigners in Thailand

Foreign clients frequently require assistance understanding how Thai law applies to their situation.

We can provide English-language legal assistance for matters involving:

• Thai individuals or companies

• Commercial agreements

• Civil litigation

• Criminal allegations

• Debt recovery

• Property disputes

• Employment issues

• Family disputes

• Powers of attorney

• Certified documents

• Notarial services

Foreign clients should be particularly careful with documents written only in Thai. Important contracts and court documents should be understood before signing or taking legal action.

Business and Commercial Disputes

Businesses operating in Thailand may encounter disputes involving customers, suppliers, shareholders, contractors, employees, or commercial partners.

Legal assistance may include:

• Contract review

• Demand letters

• Settlement negotiations

• Debt recovery

• Shareholder disputes

• Commercial litigation

• International trade disputes

• Enforcement of contractual obligations

Early legal review can sometimes prevent a commercial disagreement from developing into lengthy litigation.

Appeals in Civil and Criminal Cases

A party dissatisfied with a judgment may have a right to appeal, but appeal proceedings are subject to legal requirements and strict deadlines.

An appeal is not simply an opportunity to repeat the original case.

A lawyer should examine:

• The judgment

• Evidence presented at trial

• Findings of fact

• Legal issues

• Procedural issues

• Grounds permitted for appeal

If you are considering an appeal, legal advice should be obtained promptly after receiving or reading the judgment.

Notary Public and Document Certification in Thailand

In addition to litigation services, we provide document certification through a qualified Notarial Services Attorney in Thailand.

Common documents include:

• Passport copies

• Identification documents

• Powers of attorney

• Affidavits

• Company documents

• Signature certification

• Certified true copies

• Documents for international use

Requirements may vary depending on the country, embassy, bank, government agency, university, or overseas organisation receiving the document.

Clients should confirm the exact certification requirements before completing the process.

Why Consult a Lawyer Early?

Many legal problems become more difficult because the parties wait too long before seeking advice.

Early consultation can help identify:

• Applicable legal deadlines

• Missing evidence

• Important documents

• Potential claims and defences

• Settlement options

• Risks of making statements or signing documents

• Steps required before litigation

Even where a dispute appears straightforward, the legal consequences may depend on facts that are not obvious at first.

Documents to Prepare for a Legal Consultation

To make the consultation more useful, prepare relevant documents such as:

• Passport or identification

• Contracts

• Agreements

• Receipts

• Bank transfer records

• Emails

• LINE or other chat records

• Letters and notices

• Police summons

• Court summons

• Complaints

• Judgments

• Company documents

• Photographs or videos

• Chronology of important events

You do not need to determine which documents are legally important before contacting a lawyer. Bring the available material so it can be reviewed.
