I had occasion recently to consult with a Thai lady lawyer, with a view to pursuing a case against a juristic person. After a 2½ hour consultation, she said "I think you have an excellent case, and are fully justified in bringing it. I am sorry to tell you I am not prepared to take the case, because you have no chance whatsoever of winning. You are up against a group of wealthy hi-so's who have the court in their pocket. In order to win, you need lot's of money and very high level connections: you have neither." I took this at face value, thanked her, and tried to pay her the 5000baht I was told at the outset would be the cost of the consultation. She absolutely refused to accept it! So there is at least one honest lawyer out there!
