Why booncounara

An approach shaped by care, not volume.

No Artificial Pace

The firm does not push clients toward quick decisions. Proceedings move at the rate the circumstances call for.

Direct Counsel

Clients work with a named lawyer throughout, not a rotating team. Continuity matters in family matters.

Plain Communication

Letters and summaries in plain English. No unnecessary legal language where a straightforward word will do.

Discreet Practice

The firm handles a small number of matters at any one time. Client confidentiality is treated seriously.

Known Location

The office is at Peninsula Plaza in the city — accessible, known, and a settled address for in-person meetings.

Transparent Fees

Fees are stated clearly from the outset. Clients are not presented with unexpected additions at a later stage.

Take the First Step

A first sitting costs SGD 175.
It may save a great deal more.

The Drawing-Room Sitting is a good starting point. You will leave with a clearer picture of your position and the options available to you.

Common Questions

Questions Clients Often Raise

What happens at a Drawing-Room Sitting? +

The sitting is a private meeting, usually around an hour, conducted at the firm's office at Peninsula Plaza. You may describe your situation in your own words. The lawyer will ask a few clarifying questions, offer a settled view of your position, and provide a written summary afterwards. There is no obligation to engage the firm further.

How long do family proceedings typically take? +

It depends considerably on the complexity of the matter and whether both parties are willing to reach a settlement. Uncontested divorces can conclude in three to five months; contested proceedings may take longer. The firm will give you a realistic view of the timeline at the outset.

Is mediation a suitable alternative to proceedings? +

For many families, yes. Mediation allows the parties to reach an arrangement they have shaped themselves, rather than one decided by a court. It tends to be less adversarial and often preserves more of the family's capacity to co-operate afterwards, which matters where children are involved.

Are your fees fixed or hourly? +

The firm offers fixed-fee arrangements for each of the three services listed. The Drawing-Room Sitting is SGD 175, the Patient Course in Family Proceedings is SGD 470, and Considered Mediation is SGD 330. All fees are stated before any work begins.

Can I bring someone with me to the first sitting? +

You may bring a trusted person if that would make you more comfortable. The lawyer will, however, need to speak with you directly about the particulars of your situation, so it is worth bearing in mind that some of what is discussed will be personal.

Is everything I say kept confidential? +

Yes. All communications between client and solicitor are subject to legal professional privilege. The firm does not share client information with third parties except where required by law or with the client's express instruction.
