What Clients Have Said About Their Engagements

I used Saksama Legal for the purchase of a shophouse in Kuching. The partner explained the Sarawak Land Code requirements at the outset, which I had not fully understood from reading the agreement myself. She flagged a consent issue with the title that the vendor's solicitors had overlooked and managed its resolution without delaying completion significantly. The written updates through the process were useful — I knew at each point what had been done and what remained.

I came to Saksama Legal to have my will prepared. What I found useful was that the partner asked questions I had not thought to consider — about the nature of each asset and the different provisions that might apply to each. The draft came back quickly and the partner walked me through every clause before execution. The written note from the initial conference was a helpful summary I could refer to later when I had further questions.

I had a dispute with a neighbour over a boundary issue and was not sure whether it warranted engaging a solicitor or could be resolved informally. The consultation gave me a clear picture of my options and the likely cost of each course. The partner was straightforward about which approach she would take and why, and did not try to push me toward the more expensive option. I have since instructed the firm on the matter.

My family was selling a residential property in Kuching that had been in our name for many years. There were some complications with the existing charge and a discrepancy in the registered area. The firm resolved both issues methodically, kept us informed at each stage, and completed the transaction within the timeline they gave us at the outset. I would use them again.

Following my father's passing, we needed a probate application to deal with his estate. The process was something I had no familiarity with and the firm explained each step clearly before proceeding. The grant came through in a reasonable time. What I particularly appreciated was that the partner communicated when there were delays from the court's side, rather than letting us wonder what was happening.

A friend recommended Saksama Legal when I mentioned I had been putting off making a will for some years. The process was straightforward. The partner asked careful questions and produced a draft that reflected exactly what I had intended. The fee was as quoted; there were no additions. I left the office having done something I should have done years ago, and with a clear written record of the consultation.
