The Best DUI lawyers in Singapore Giving Clients Peace of Mind
Did your night of revelry turn into flashing lights and a drink-driving charge? That’s a bit of a rough comedown, but it’s not the end of the road.
In Singapore, experienced DUI lawyers can scrutinise how evidence was handled and negotiate for reduced penalties. They can even secure dismissals in certain situations.
Our picks below can keep you on steady ground and keep penalties from hitting hard!
If you’re also looking for other law specialisations, we have lists of the best local criminal defence lawyers and immigration lawyers.

One bit we like about Regal Law LLC is they don’t lean into a “big firm” persona despite the combined 50-plus years of experience.
Initial consults, including those for individuals facing DUI charges, are free. What’s even better is that cases are still assessed thoroughly, and the advice is honest.
You can also reach them 24/7. During our interviews, lawyers Divya and Rohit were consistently mentioned for their prompt and patient replies.
A hiccup to consider is Regal’s scope. Among their practice areas are family law, debt recovery, immigration, and employment law, so the firm isn’t a traffic law-only specialist.
And there’s no guarantee you’ll land the associate you have in mind (especially the seniors), thanks to the steady stream of clients.
The good news is nearly every pick speaks two or more languages, such as Tamil, Chinese, English, and German.
Reliable Legal Assistance
I am very grateful for Ms Aisyah & Mr Jeeva’s professionalism and dedication throughout my case. They were clear, patient, and thorough in explaining every step of the process, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Communication was prompt and efficient, and I truly felt supported throughout. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable legal assistance.
Very Profesional
Ms Yeo was very professional and made the whole process smooth for me. Yeo & Associates LLC gave me confidence from the start till the end.

Having Jaesh Balachandran of Bishop Law in your corner is reassuring. Given props by bodies such as the APAC Legal Awards and Legal 100 Asia, this criminal defence attorney has pulled off favourable results.
His fees are also fixed. After analysing the situation, Jaesh will provide a “no-tricks” package that includes representation, negotiation, conferences, and evidence analysis.
The starting rate, however, can come in heavy at S$3,000. You can pay in instalments, but it’s still relatively high.
But to be fair, Jaesh is typically honest about a case’s standing. If it’s beyond his scope or capabilities, he’ll inform you right away while providing sound and practical advice.
Patience is one of his assets, you see. We raised lots of queries, and he answered each in detail.
It’s just a pity there’s no 24/7 support or weekend office hours, hurting the firm’s availability rating.
Very Empathetic
Jaesh is really one of the best lawyers I’ve ever met. Besides his professional competence he is very empathetic. Last but not least he is one of these lawyers who don’t charge any single word and advice which is really rare….especially in Singapore. I will always recommend him!

Proficient
Bishop law is spearheaded by Jaesh who I will highly recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel. Jaesh is certainly more than proficient in legal matters. But perhaps the main reason I will recommend him is his human and empathetic touch, all while addressing your concerns and possible options + outcomes.
Jaesh’s integrity, competency and empathy makes me whole heartedly recommend his services to anyone who needs it.

IRB Law is among Singapore’s legal heavyweights. The seasoned Mohammed Baiross started it in 2012, and it has since resolved 10,000-plus cases.
If we’re talking industry rep, theirs is exceptional. Publications such as The Legal 500 and The Straits Times have given them a nod, and Mohammed himself has defended criminal charges all the way to the Court of Appeal.
All that hasn’t changed how responsive they are to queries, fortunately. IRB’s consultants even reply outside of office hours and on weekends.
Being a massive outfit certainly plays a part. With more than 25 legal associates, they’re our biggest team.
Above all else, reduced charges and dismissals are what most of their DUI clients ended up with.
Some might find RBI’s expertise “too broad,” though. Outside of traffic law, they cover more than 5 areas.
The office could also be bigger, considering the client flow.
Fairly Lower Price
I engaged IRB Law for my divorce. I am living in the Philippines but my ex husband lives in Singapore. Atty Baiross and his paralegal Nicolle handled my case professionally and efficiently. They explained everything well at the onset and they charged a fairly lower price as oppose to other Law firms I’ve spoken to. I got the final judgement on time just as they have promised. Atty Baiross and Nicolle are very easy to talk to, they are responsive and very welcoming, which I appreciate since I live in another country. It was a very smooth process all in all. Thank you again, I appreciate your help so much!

Efficient
We lost a loved one recently and had to handle the legal matters revolving around his various assets, something which we were totally unfamiliar with. A relative introduced this contact and we are very glad that we engaged I.R.B. Law. Joanne Giam was much dedicated to our case, patient and responsive to our many queries, knowledgeable and efficient. What we expected to take months was all concluded in mere weeks. She even took the extra mile to assist in matters that were beyond the scope of the case. Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your great service at a time when we truly needed it.

Tembusu Law LLC

Address: 11 Keng Cheow St, #02-02 The Riverside Piazza
Contact Details: +65 6974 0068
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours

Should the cops pull you over, dialling Tembusu’s number is a smart call. They have round-the-clock support that runs as intended, even on weekends.
Generally, no green attorney will pick up the phone. Every associate has at least 5 years of experience in criminal defence, with Jonathan Wong, founder of the country’s first legal chatbot, leading the charge.
Something to mull over, though, is the price. Tembusu’s standard rates don’t come cheap, and they require initial deposits before taking action.
One silver lining is that some may take pro bono cases. As long as you don’t mind waiting for two days or more for a response, it’s a win.
But honestly, they’re not a daft splurge. For DUI, Tembusu’s focus is on helping clients avoid jail time or retain a license.
And all of that comes with proactive and responsive support all the way.
Truly Grateful
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the time Jonathan took to provide my family and me with a free consultation. His sound advice was invaluable, offering us much-needed clarity on a family matter that we are facing. We are truly grateful for the empathy and professionalism that he showed throughout the process.

Good Advice
Thank you Jonathan for your advice! Jonathan is fast and responsive. As you can read from other people’s review, he is sounds more like a friend than a lawyer and gives really good advice. He genuinely cares and I am grateful to him for the help he has rendered. I will definitively suggest him to anyone who needs lawyer and i will definitely find him if i ever need to in the future!

Emerald Law LLC

Address: 3 Shenton Wy, #11-10 Shenton House

Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9 am to 6:30 pm

Lasting in the legal world is no small feat, and that’s one reason Emerald Law LLC is here. The firm was founded in 1987.
Beyond tenure, it’s a practice with skilled communicators. Our interviewees say they have empathetic lawyers who explain legal procedures and paperwork clearly.
Their victories in high-profile cases, while not strictly within DUI territory, still make them a more attractive option. Director Keith Hsu, for instance, has won Supreme and High Court cases, including one with a S$36 million claim.
Emerald has caught the eye of other relevant publications too, namely The Legal 500 and The Straits Times. The latter has even included them among Singapore’s best law firms in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024.
Response times have been hit or miss, though. While some claim they’re responsive, a few moaned about late replies.
Not having a 24/7 emergency hotline doesn’t help either.
Clear Advice
I engaged Mr. Russell Thio from Emerald Law for my divorce case. He was professional, patient, and provided clear advice throughout the process. His calm and understanding approach made a difficult time much easier to manage. I’m very satisfied with his service and would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate family lawyer.. Thank you Mr Rizuan, Mr Russell and team…
