Seizetheday Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I also used Magna Carta, would recommend them to anyone. Just before the junction of Pattaya Tai and Third Rd, heading to the beach, on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Magna Carta by far the best, Pattyaa tai just past third road Why are they (by far) the best? How about their charges?... which is a very important consideration. Have you tried a lot of different lawyers? I've been looking around for lawyers too. One firm required a deposit of 80,000 baht upon signing up for services, just to get started. Hourly rates were from 3000 to 6000 per hour depending upon seniority. What does a day in court cost here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtycash Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 i have a thai lawyer in naklua just past faitex complex. paid him 4000 baht to make a will and to take care of my condo contract. is it best have a thai lawyer ( i think so ) or an english lawyr as in soi 15 - UK LAW on pattaya 3rd road ?

What do you want the lawyer for? Legalization of documents or litigation? Your request for a 'non corrupt' one would indicate the latter. If you have already used one for your will and condo contract and were happy with cost and work, why don't you ask him? If he doesn't specialize in what you need a lawyer for, I am pretty sure that he could recommend one that can. Many have recommended Magna Carta but you are seeking an opinion on UK Law on Third? Why? Is it within walking distance? What's your over riding criteria; convenience, cost or actual ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Is it within walking distance? What's your over riding criteria; convenience, cost or actual ability? IMO this thread and similar are among the most important on this forum... I agree with Dirtycash that we all should have a Thai lawyer to call. Who you going to call is a big consideration and us expats should help each other out here. You never know when some shit is going down and you need legal assistance. If you behave yourself and are lucky, you can live in peace here for a long time, but it doesn't take long for Thais to get nasty if they perceive some "wrongdoing" on your part... and by wrongdoing I'm talking about subtle, seemingly insignificant actions. They are extremely xenophobic and it doesn't take much to stoke the fire. It's good to have a lawyer on speed dial who knows your name... After spending about 15 hours at the Soi 9 police station over the last 3 months I can tell you they are not interested in helping anyone... so save yourself the frustration and don't bother unless it is absolutely necessary. I signed power of attorney and paid a lawyer yesterday to start a criminal case in court. It will take about 6 weeks for the summons to be served on the defendant. I won't say anything just yet as we all know this is a gamble. If I'm successful in about 3 - 6 months I will report back with a glowing recommendation. If I am unsuccessful or not happy with services, I won't say a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do the same due to fraud but would not want to spend more that I have been defrauded (although sorely tempted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Being here for as long as I have I have delt with my fair share of them. When you get a good one it is best to stay in contact. Just know that not all people calling themselves lawyers here can argue in court. The ones that cant subcontract the work out and that causes the cost to go up for you. Its also good to have one with a Bar Number that shows they have been at it for awhile. Mine always looks at the other sides number and knows if the guy is a newbie or not.

Banana7 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have a friend who was considering hiring Magna Carta to conduct a condo AGM and register the results. He was quoted 200,000 baht.
