FAQ
- Do you take contingency (no-win-no-fee) cases?
- Yes for qualified commercial debts THB 500,000+. Our contingency ranges 20–35% depending on debtor solvency, evidence strength, and enforceability. Small claims usually go on a flat-fee basis.
- How long to recover the debt?
- Demand letter → voluntary payment: 2–6 weeks (30–40% of cases). Lawsuit + judgment: 8–16 months. Enforcement (asset seizure/garnishment): +3–9 months. Cross-border enforcement: +6–12 months.
- Can you enforce foreign judgments in Thailand?
- Thailand does not automatically recognize foreign court judgments. We must re-litigate the underlying claim in Thai court, using the foreign judgment as evidence. Arbitral awards ARE directly enforceable under the 1958 New York Convention.
- What about criminal fraud complaints?
- For clear cases of cheque bouncing (PN Act 2534), fraud, or embezzlement, we file criminal complaints with the police / prosecutor — often faster settlement than civil litigation because of jail-time exposure.
