Criminal Defence Lawyers in Singapore: Standing Up for Your Rights with Amarjit Sidhu Law

That is why having a seasoned defence lawyer at your side is not just helpful - it is absolutely vital.

Under Singapore’s strict and tightly controlled laws, every person accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial. At Amarjit Sidhu Law, you get more than paperwork and court appearances; you get a dedicated team that listens, fights for your rights, and works hard to show the best side of your story. Widely regarded for its courtroom skill and client-first approach, Amarjit Sidhu Law has earned its place among Singapore’s leading firms for criminal defence.

1. Advising during investigations and police interviews

High-Stakes Defence: A Track Record of Results

Facing a criminal charge can mean years behind bars, steep fines, loss of jobs, and shattered families.

Why Early Legal Advice Matters

Waiting to hire a lawyer can end up costing far more than money. Without guidance, accused people often give partial or self-damning statements without realising their rights. Amarjit Sidhu Law urges clients to call them at the first hint of trouble, ideally while investigations are ongoing.

Acting early can bring:

1. Charges reduced or amended to

2. Alternative results such as warnings, probation, or community service

3. Stronger, ready-to-go arguments for trial

4. Shielding clients from costly slips or being pushed around
