Reviews & Testimonials

• “A heartfelt THANK YOU to Jasmine Wong, Jie Xi and their efficient team. Not only was she prompt in correspondence, but she also expressed qualities of compassion and patience – qualities that I find rare in this line of work. These qualities make all the difference in mitigating stress throughout many legal processes that require attorney services. The cost of service was also very reasonable, which further helps make this experience better-managed one. Particularly when I need their services from overseas. Highly recommend!” -Emily Tan, Spain
• “I truly appreciate the excellent service, reasonable charges and fast response especially from Jasmine Wong and Rachel Ng for the whole process for the legalisation of documents. I cannot thank you enough for all the effort especially during this hard time (COVID-19). I would definitely recommend MahWengKwai & Associates’ excellent service to anyone.” – Kuan Pui Li, Singapore

We appreciate all that they have done for our family. They were quick to respond, went the extra mile when needed, and met each unique challenge with solutions.
