Distasteful experience with lawyer Rebecca where was told that the consultation would be timed and if any timing more than the pre-set timing would incur additional charges. Even goes on to say “your time starts now”. I mean I understand time is precious but to be so petty so as to time the meeting to the second is just unprofessional and off-putting. There are nicer ways to put such matters across or perhaps it would have been less off-putting if an admin staff had said the above rather than the lawyer herself.Edit: Noted from the reply from the firm that I was given a "free consultation". This was not a "free consultation" and in fact, was charged $250 for the consultation which was collected by the lawyer herself immediately after the consultation. The lawyer has time to personally collect payment but has to count to the second with a timer for the actual consultation itself. This was not about the charges but it is about professionalism and etiquette expected from a lawyer.

The good people at JCP Law LLC have been extremely helpful when we approached them to notarize 2 documents for my husband. We needed their quick assistance to have the notarized docs to be handed to the Malaysian High Comm in Singapore. They are very helpful and provided the necessary information and got our docs notarized very quickly. Please do not hesitate to seek assistance from JCP Law LLC at any time.

The notary service provided by JCP Law is efficient and fast. Jeremy and his staff are all friendly and approachable. Despite being nearly 20 minutes late, they accommodated me professionally without any changes to my appointment. Their excellent service and professionalism make them my go-to choice for notary services. Highly recommended!

Thank you to the admin front desk who kindly brought me into the waiting room because I was almost 1 hour early. I decided to eat my buns that I bought from the bakery nearby.Suddenly, a lady barged from behind me and dumped some papers on the table. She didn't greet me or explain who she was. It caught me off-guard because my bread packet was on the table. I shyly closed my packet and the lady sat in front of me without saying a word and stared at me the whole time till I put my things away.Once I was done, she said in a hostile manner, "Check for me" while handing the paper. I was like still rushing to chew my food and swallow it up. I picked up a pen while reading. She cut me off abrasively "You don't need to sign!" I was really appalled and trembling.The whole experience was supposed to be a simple procedure but turned out to be so unwelcoming and unpleasant just because of one person's doing. Found out her name is Nurul. Please fire her.

We recently reached out to JCP Law and was assigned to Jeremy Cheong for assistance with a non-compete issue involving a former employee who had replicated our business model. Initially, Jeremy appeared receptive and offered support during our meeting on October 18. However, after that call, we did not receive the follow-up we expected. Instead, we were advised to seek assistance from another law firm. This experience left us feeling unsupported, and we had hoped for a more consistent approach in handling our concern.

We have used a few Notary services and this is by far has been the best. WhatsApp communication is fast and informative. Central CBD location. Good office hours. Very fast turn around and done correctly. And value for money for the service with no hidden legal fees or copying fees.

The team was great and efficient. Needed documents notarised for my French client and I was given good advice by JCP Law to prepare a letter and all documents of proof. These were all promptly done and meeting their shipment deadline. Fast, fair pricing and easy to deal with. Thank you very much.

I consulted with Jeremy regarding the situation where my landlord insisted on full rent payment for early termination of the tenancy agreement. The landlord even threatened legal action, citing Singaporean legal norms, despite the absence of an early termination clause in the agreement. Jeremy reviewed my tenancy agreement and clarified that since there was no provision for early termination, my focus should be on finding a replacement tenant to prevent any financial loss to the landlord and it's not my responsibility if landlord does not agreed with the replacement.Jeremy went a step further by helping me review follow up email to the landlord. The matter was successfully resolved and I can leave the country with a sense of security. I highly recommend consulting a lawyer, especially for foreigners facing tenancy conflicts, based on my positive experience.

ICP Lawyer studied the request made by my solicitor in London and offered an economical solution which combined a standard Singapore notarisation along with a customised document. The documents were ready in less than a day. The front desk was helpful throughout the process: inquiry, appointment and collection.

非常好的一次體驗！和幾位律師來回討論了很多次我們的案件，律師不但沒有額外收取費用，還很耐心地聽我們介紹情況並根據我們的情況給我們很多很有用的建議，最後的結果也是非常的令人滿意。會推薦給身邊有需要的朋友。另外張律師的中文也很不錯，溝通完全無障礙。
