Divorce Lawyer: My Journey Through the Past, the Present andPreparing for the Future of JinHuang Legal LLC
1. On 3 December 2021, I was granted in-principle approval for my law practice (JinHuang Legal LLC) application. While I take steps to incorporate and start operations from my own firm, I thought it useful to take stock of how I got here, and set my sights on the journey ahead.

A.The Early Days
2. Sometime into my 1st year of NUS Law School, I started questioning my direction. I liked the study of law, but I wondered whether I would like working in the law. Naturally, I explored the different types of laws that are typically practiced in Singapore. Family Law piqued my interest because itinvolved dealing with more than just the law, and I could see how my practice would directly impact my future clients as well as their loved ones. At this stage, everything I thought was just “theory” and I needed a reality check.

3. My friend’s tutor for Torts was none other than our current Presiding Judge of the Family Justice Courts, then known as Prof. Ong. During a pre-exam consultation with her tutorial group, my friend agreed to sneak me into Prof. Ong’s office. What a brilliant plan. I stood out like an elephant in the room.Like is usually done to elephants in the room, I was ignored for the whole meeting which lasted a good 30 mins or so. Also, like an elephant, I had really thick skin. But it was all worthwhile. After, the consultation, I stayed back and mustered the courage to speak to Prof. Ong. She spoke to me for another 20+ mins, not so much about the law but rather about the values and mindset that I would require to be a good Family lawyer. This talk has been ingrained as part of my DNA ever since.I am grateful Prof. Ong did not hesitate to speak to me.

4. The rest of my time in law school was spent mostly being clueless about the future. When asked in interviews for a Pupilage place, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?”, I answered, “I can’t even see past 2 weeks, so I’ll just take things as they come!” Along the way, during an internship, I passed the Family Court and saw a few Family lawyers walking out with thin files and thought “Great! Family lawyers do not lug around huge bundles of documents”.

Empathy and Compassion: Divorce can be an emotionally challenging time, and it is crucial to have a lawyer who understands and empathizes with your situation. A top divorce lawyer will be sensitive to your needs and provide support and guidance throughout the process.

Negotiation Skills: Many divorce cases can be resolved through negotiation rather than litigation. Look for a lawyer who has strong negotiation skills and a track record of successfully reaching favorable settlements. A skilled negotiator can help you achieve a fair and equitable resolution without the need for a lengthy court battle.

Availability and Responsiveness: Divorce cases often involve tight deadlines and time-sensitive matters. It is essential to choose a lawyer who is readily available and responsive to your inquiries. They should prioritize your case and be proactive in keeping you updated on developments.
