Client feedback
Elsie Liu
"Elsie listened to me and thoroughly reviewed all the documentation I provided, as this was an extremely difficult case. She came up with innovative solutions, demonstrated excellent strategic planning, and was mindful of my budget."
Patricia Liu
"Patricia, who is my lawyer, was very clear in explaining the divorce process, listing out the different options I could take along with their pros and cons. She was attentive to changes in the negotiation process with my ex-husband, responded quickly to my emails, and pointed out issues I may have missed. I felt like I could rely on Haldanes to guide me through this emotional and difficult process. They were also very transparent about their billing, which I appreciated, and Patricia tried to minimise costs by communicating via email instead of calls. She was very understanding, and I am extremely happy with Haldanes' service."
Elaine Sum
"She is very responsive, well-prepared, and on top of the paperwork. She is also sensible and practical."
