ORIGINAL POSTERHello group. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer who can speak English well? I need to sue someone for breach of contract.
Thank you so much. 😀
Thank you so much. 😀
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for an English-speaking lawyer in Thailand to assist with a breach of contract lawsuit. Multiple comments express skepticism about the chances of success in lawsuits in Thailand, with advice to consider alternative options. One user suggests contacting 'Lawyers for Expats' and mentions specific lawyers known for their good service.

No point. I heard they just work with the others lawyer to drag it out as long as possible to make as much money out of you as possible then when it dries up they don't come to any result anyway.

ORIGINAL POSTER@Mma ******
This guy is required to pay me 18K a month and hasn't paid anything in a year. He just keeps saying "I'll pay you in full when I land a big job."Henrik *****
Why haven't you stopped believing him after 2 months, and went on

Listen you cannot sue someone in Thailand for verbal agreement. I know your Thai lady agreed to stay with you for long time but now she found a higher paying customer.

"Long Time" is too subjective. At my age maintaining an erection for longer than ten minutes is a "long time" 😆😆😆Us *****
@Andy ***********
short time means 1-2 hour and long time means 2-8 hours. Don't ask me how I know.Andy ************
@Us ****
So what if it's EXACTLY 2 hours? Is that a long short time, or a short long time?Us *****

Last March you also wanted to take someone to court I read. How that worked out ? I know 'to sue' is a nice verb in the US, but this is Thailand. Good luck with it.

Thank you Phil. I'm in Minburi, Bangkok.Henrik *****
Do NEVER use Siam ....
They decive people by giving the impression that they are a Thai Embassy, when they are only a privat compagny.
Don't support crooks like that.
