Doctor Tom Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I never could find their office before, so I gave up and went elsewhere. I don't expect to have problem finding the office of a firm that actually wants to do business. Edited June 5, 2022 by Doctor Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stop with this right now! Even as it is Sunday, I have been talking to my contact at Siam Legal Pattaya office. They are still there and open tomorrow as usual at 09.00 in the morning. So, now we can stop this nonsense.@KhunBENQYou are so right when you post that they have changed address. The address you give is right. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jastheace Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) i looked at siam legal because they have a bricks and mortar office, they seem to be well established so not likely to close shop tomorrow, they offer 30 minutes consultation for free. any future problems with the same issue in say a year or two, they can address. i am not after the cheapest, but do not want to be ripped off for what is about an hours or so documentation work (4 pages including signature page), translation, signing and notarized, and handling a relatively small amount of money. i could not find a webpage for siam eastern laws, without that, it's a no no for me. if @ezzra could provide a link, i would be happy to have a looksy. my 'friend' hopefully will pop along to SL in jomtien on monday morning to see if they can do the work for a reasonable price. just hoping they are actually there!

SidJames Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 They did a great job emptying my wallet a good few years back when their 'office' was on Pattaya Nua for a visa I went to my present lawyers to chase them up but they shut up shop & disappeared for a while. I tried chasing them up by calling the numbers & emailing the offices that were listed to London & NY but found that they were just fronts with the company registered there but not trading. The mailing addresses when places that thousands of companies had their registered offices. My lawyer explained to me that SL were more of a franchise where the lawyers in question paid a fee to SL to be allowed to use the company name & that was why it was so difficult to find someone actually to sue or take blame when problems arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 14 years ago my business was requiring some professional legal advice. After 3 emails that I nor my company had a reply from we assumed that they were not in business so hence went elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was new I used to seek for advice and suggestions for my business. But now the time has changed and we can get any advice online for free. We don't need to pay a single penny nor we have the fear of fraud. There are thousands of resources available over the internet. The life has become easier. Most of the business entity nowadays follow technology. Every legal activities and advice you need are available online and can be done easily. Even the procedure of business entity search is also made easy and there are many resources that can guide you to open a new business. These all are state dependent. For example here in new Mexico we follow new mexico business entity search. And it provides the whole guidance. We don't need to wait for anyone's advice on email or anything else.

jerrymahoney Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Almost 20 years ago I went to one of the name-brand farang lawyers here in Thailand to negotiate a pre-nup which thankfully turned out not to be necessary. No marriage. However the current terms of their template prenup in the wife's favor I considered to be onerous Never in the course of the discussions did they say that everything that is yours PRIOR to the marriage per Thai law is off the table? Thanks a lot. Edited June 7, 2022 by jerrymahoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google finds that address instantly. I'm trying to find out where they are, and both locations, Soi 5 Jomtien and King Power Building still indicate "temporarily closed" (May 20, 2023). I get no answers on any of their phones, even head office, despite them saying they have 24 hour service. Not a good sign of their professionalism for the high fees they are asking.
