Based right in the heart of Singapore, at the Adelphi, Regal Law has built a solid reputation for resolving criminal law matters. It’s led by Director Jeeva Arul Joethy, who has been practicing since 1999.

His team focuses on dissecting the specifics of your drink-driving case, which may include the accuracy of the breathalyzer test or other mitigating factors.

Dangerous driving cases are handled as well. This involves allegations of driving, sometimes caused by drug use, in a way that risks the safety of others.

To begin, they provide a free consultation—a great way to get upfront advice so you can understand your options before making a big decision.

We did hear reports of lawyers being rude to clients, but it’s a good thing that these seem to be isolated cases.

They were clear, patient, and thorough 

“I am very grateful for Ms Aisyah & Mr Jeeva’s professionalism and dedication throughout my case. They were clear, patient, and thorough in explaining every step of the process, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Communication was prompt and efficient, and I truly felt supported throughout. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable legal assistance.” — j, Google Review

Efficient, professional, and have an eye for detail

“Not the first engaging this law firm, so it shows how good their services are. They are efficient, professional, and have an eye for detail. Most recommended to engage their services if needed. Special call-out for Ms Divya, Mr Spenser, and not forgetting Mr Wasi for the previous case.” — Haha Haha, Google Review

Since 2012, IRB Law LLP has handled everything, from high-stakes corporate deals to street-level criminal cases. 

When it comes to DUI or DWI cases, they’ve helped numerous clients reduce or even dismiss their charges. Their main mission is to help you keep your driving privileges and stay out of a prison cell.

Rest assured, you won’t be handed a cookie-cutter defense—they analyze every detail of your arrest, including the calibration of the breathalyzer, and create a tailored plan.

We like that they keep things transparent in terms of legal fees. The team provides upfront, reasonable pricing with zero hidden charges. 

Just a word of advice: don’t expect them to be on time for every single meeting. We heard complaints about lawyers being late for consultations, which we agree can be a bit frustrating.

Lives up to being Singapore’s Best Law Firm

“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr Baiross, Mr Basheer, and Team IRB, who handled my case with a positive outcome that was beyond my expectations. Mr Baiross and Mr Basheer provided me with a detailed sound legal analysis, offered the available options, recommended the actions I needed to take to strengthen my case, and strategized the approach taken. They were always patient in explaining the legal jargon to me so that I could make informed decisions. IRB’s charges were also highly competitive, and they often go the extra mile. IRB indeed lives up to being Singapore’s Best Law Firm, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal advice.” — S Toh, Google Review

Ownership of the case led to a successful outcome

“At that time, when we were feeling extremely helpless, Mr Mohamed Baiross was willing to help and gave his views on our issue. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Mohamed Baiross and his team at IRB Law Firm, particularly Ms. Sharifah Nabilah, for their outstanding representation in our case. Her efficiency, dedication, and professionalism were evident throughout the process. Ms. Sharifah’s confidence and assurance in court during cross-examination were impressive, and her ownership of the case led to a successful outcome. I highly recommend IRB Law Firm and Ms. Sharifah Nabilah for their exceptional legal services.” — Hasnah Abdullah, Google Review

Bishop Law is a boutique criminal firm that’s known in Singapore as sharks in the criminal defense world.

Right from the start, they offer you access to a specialist criminal solicitor with zero obligation to sign anything. Simple DUI cases get 10 to 20 minutes, while messier situations get a full hour.

They then do the heavy lifting: representing you at police interviews, analyzing forensic evidence, and investigating the specifics of your arrest. What’s great is that they’ll negotiate with the police or prosecutors to get the best possible outcome.

As for pricing, they offer a fixed fee model, which starts from $3,000—we think this is a steal if you have a really complicated case.

On the other hand, some clients feel it’s a bit pricey for a simple one.

Efficient, professional, and attentive to detail

“Bishop Law is an outstanding firm—efficient, professional, and attentive to detail. They combine strong legal expertise with a friendly, approachable touch that makes clients feel supported throughout the process. Their team is reliable, responsive, and trustworthy, ensuring peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone seeking dependable legal representation.” — Kevyzazazee, Google Review

Compassionate and understanding to clients

“Mr Jeash is a very great criminal lawyer, and he provide straight forward advice. He is compassionate and understanding to clients. His professional fees are reasonable. And his legal manager, Angie, is also a great and reliable help. I would definitely highly recommend those that in need of legal help to turn to bishop law for assistance….” — Mr Ang, Google Review

Hoh Law Corporation has been around since 1991, so it’s not a surprise that they’ve garnered numerous accolades. These include being voted in Singapore’s Best Law Firms Annual Survey conducted by the Straits Times.

As for drink driving offences, they do all the legwork—assist with investigations, charge negotiations, trial strategy, and sentencing advocacy. 

They make sure to consider all their findings before building a case strategy tailored to your unique case. That means looking at the breathalyzer results or blood tests objectively to see where you can find a legal opening.

And in case you need to have a full-blown trial, they have extensive experience in the courtroom arena, too.

A downside we keep hearing is that some clients were being hung up on during calls. These may be innocent dropouts, but still leave a bad impression.

Genuinely warm, patient, and reassuring

“From the very beginning, Iris was not just knowledgeable and professional, but genuinely warm, patient, and reassuring. She took the time to walk me through every step, explaining things clearly and making sure I always knew what to expect. What could have been a stressful process felt smooth and manageable because of her guidance. I especially appreciated how attentive she was — always quick to respond. Her attention to detail and her calm, friendly presence gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you, Iris, for going above and beyond.” — Anita Laudin, Google Review

Professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive

“Thanks to the outstanding service provided by Ms Iris. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the entire process. Her clear communication and dedication made everything much easier to understand and handle. I truly appreciate her commitment and the high level of service she delivered.” — Eugene Gan, Google Review

Owner Chooi Jing Yen is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and is actually qualified to practice law in Singapore and England. This dual qualification helped him earn a place in Doyle’s Guide for both 2022 and 2023.

His firm is known for road traffic offences, with a heavy focus on drink driving cases. Not only do they challenge the technicalities of the tests, but they also look at the prosecution’s narratives.

You’ll find them operating across the entire system: from the State to the High Court. This means they’re not easily intimidated by tough judges or aggressive prosecutors.

Despite their expertise, they believe that the best way to win a case is to prevent it from going to trial. That’s why they’re pros at early dispute management.

Of course, premium services do not come cheap—be prepared for steep fees.

He is always thinking two steps ahead 

“I can’t recommend JY highly enough. He’s not just a great lawyer. He’s someone who truly has your back. What really stands out is how proactive he is. Instead of waiting for things to unfold, he is always thinking two steps ahead and comes up with real, practical solutions that actually solve your situation. That kind of initiative and care is rare to find. If you want someone who genuinely fights for you and stays ahead of the game, this is your guy.” — Fraser Waldron, Google Review

He is definitely someone you can count on

“Highly recommend this law firm. Mr Chooi was very professional, clear, and concise when providing legal advice, yet exuding compassion throughout the whole process. He is definitely someone you can count on to resolve your legal issues.” — Zhang Yiming, Google Review
