Lawyer on Samui

[guavagirl]

Anyone have any experience with lawyers in Samui? I need someone with experience in business and family law. Any recommendations would be great. I am hoping to save myself a trip up to Bangkok.

The best investment you will ever make in any legal matters here on Samui, is to fly a BKK lawyer here with a return ticket and accommodation, The end results are far cheaper than dealing with local shonkey monkey "lawyers"

A little more info might help.

I have not needed to use a lawyer in my years on Samui, but when I was looking for one for a possible case, the only one that impressed me was a guy called Manit.

He used to work for one of the top law firms in Bangkok (http://www.tilleke.com/)

He was not interested in litigation cases on Samui (local boys had too much control and I was considering litigation), but with his background he could be good for what you are looking for.

Crusty is pretty spot on . All my trust & illusions of local firms have been shattered.

I've been using Michael Pearth from DFDL Crawshaws in Bophut for business matters, and been very satisfied with the service.

Believe first lawyer meeting normally is free-of-charge, so may be worth a check...

Thanks everyone. I will ring up Manit later today and see if he can help me out. Otherwise, I guess I will be flying to Bangkok.
