Seeking a lawyer ex-pat v Thai - lawsuit

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I need a lawyer to file a lawsuit against Thai for breach of contract. Must speak English. Prefer non-Thai if possible. I only want a lawyer that has been in business for years and expects to continue for years.

 

Regards, William

Thank-you for the reply.

I have been given a list before (misplaced, cannot find now) of recommended lawyers for ex-pats by the US Consulate. As I recall there are non-Thais on the list.

No problem.

 

When you posted, "Prefer non-Thai if possible." I thought I would draw your attention to the list.

 

"As I recall there are non-Thais on the list." - possibly they are "managers" but they may not be the one to represent you in Court.

Breach of contract would come under the Consumers Protection Act, unless you are filing criminal charges?

To be honest, when I needed to refer to a lawyer in Phuket, the one we ended up going with was on the referred lawyers list of a European Embassy.  That lawyer proved to be less than competent. Actually, if your read the Embassy's words carefully you will find that any embassy, in general,  takes no responsibility for who they place on their list. That is understandable. By the way, when we moved on to a secondary level of litigation we sought comparative quotes from 3 lawyers. I recommend that you do that, too.

William, I forgot to start by asking why you are seeking a lawyer referral on TV.?

That is a bit like picking a stock investment, based on one of those investment bulletin boards.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but you should not be trusting anyone on social media, with your money matters.

Have you not lived long enough in Thailand to have developed a network of contacts who would have better experience, in making a referral?
