The road to regret stops with the best DUI Lawyers in Singapore!
Getting caught for drink-driving in Singapore can lead to a long road of consequences. You’re looking at fines of S$2,000–S$20,000, up to 2 years in prison, and a license ban of 2–5 years.
But it’s not always a done deal. A sharp DUI lawyer can pick apart police procedures or evidence while building a structured mitigation plea.
Given the high stakes, investing in the right person or team is strongly advised. The options we lined up below meet the mark.
And for other cases under criminal law besides DUI, you can consult the top criminal lawyers in the area.
How much do DUI lawyers charge in Singapore?
In Singapore, most DUI lawyers charge between S$2,500 and S$4,500 for fixed packages. Costs are primarily influenced by the case’s complexity, the location, and the lawyer’s experience.
Some lawyers and firms provide free 15- or 30-minute consults for clients who’ve already received charges, while those still under investigation are often required to pay S$100 for 45–60-minute meetings.
1. Regal Law LLC
Address: 1 Coleman St, #06-02 The Adelphi
Contact Details: +65 6223 0526
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
It’s a coordinated effort at Regal Law LLC. Since opening in 2010, the firm has grown into an outfit of nearly 10 winning lawyers who can operate as one.
Providing step-by-step, practical guidance is among their standout qualities. Clients regularly give kudos to Bhala, Dhivya, Spencer, and Abhi for not overwhelming them in legal waffle.
They’re not deadpan to a fault either; during our test queries, the reps came across as empathetic and patient. We heard the same from our sources.
Clients pulled over by the police will appreciate the 24/7 helpline too. Replies are quick (often through WhatsApp), and scheduling a free consult is just as fast.
One downside is the possibility of missing out on your preferred date. Regal Law is a massive firm, but they draw lots of clients, and weekdays are no exceptions.
Those seeking a pure criminal defence specialist may also find their focus broad.
Very Professional
I was desperately in need of legal advice and support, and Regal Law was one the firm that responded. Truly blessed to know this great legal team Mr Bala, Mr Abhi and Ms Gabrielle.
They knew my concern, my anxiety and assured me that they are there 24/7 with me. Mr Bala and Mr Abhi took me through their legal processes, and importantly explained how proactively they will work towards my case.
They guided me towards my preparation, and provided critical advice, always very professional. I felt so calm and rest assured I am in their good legal hands. Importantly, they made time for you whenever there’s a need to meet. THANK YOU for your great legal support.
I highly recommend Regal Law, especially this great legal team Mr Bala, Mr Abhi and Ms Gabrielle. Truly blessed with this team.

Offered Clear, Practical Advice
As someone who have not engaged lawer service , I believe Regal Law is one of the law firms that I have personally experience their professionalism on managing legal cases.
Mr Bala ensures I understood thoroughly the whole process and constantly offered clear, practical advice that gave me more knowledge/insights on throughout the sessions / meetings.
The great team (Gabrielle and Katherine) have also shared the regular updates and honest communication throughout.
Thanks to his expertise, I felt comfortable in preparing the needful and we are truly grateful for his help.
Thank you again! Mr Abhi , Bala and team (Gabrielle and Katherine).

2. Emerald Law LLC
Address: 3 Shenton Wy, #11-10 Shenton House
Contact Details: +65 6226 0439
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9 am to 6:30 pm
Emerald Law LLC is one of Singapore’s most prominent firms (they excel in divorce practice, too). Hard to argue that when they have a long-standing presence since 1987 alongside multiple The Straits Times awards.
Above all, the DUI cases they managed are often described by clients as resulting in “favourable outcomes” or “successes.”
Timely scheduling is another perk, as setting next-day appointments is possible. Emerald is an eight-lawyer firm that’s backed by over 10 assistants and paralegals; high demand rarely slows them.
Having a 24/7 helpline would still be helpful, though. Immediate advice is lifesaving for DUI matters, after all.
You can’t expect a thorough analysis of paperwork during free consults, either. Last we checked, inquirers only received a brief or general overview of their situation.
But it’s not that bad of a deal, considering the investment goes to efficient, upfront lawyers such as Rizuan and Russel.
Practical Legal Advice
I had the pleasure of working with Nico Lee and Emerald Law Corporation, and I must say their professionalism and efficiency are truly commendable. Nico provided clear, concise, and highly practical legal advice that helped me navigate my situation with ease. His expertise and dedication to delivering excellent service were evident throughout the process.
The team at Emerald Law Corporation is approachable, responsive, and focused on achieving the best outcomes for their clients. I am incredibly grateful for their support and guidance.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable and professional legal services!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the entire team! 🎄✨

I was in capable hands
Mr Rizuan & Team
I engaged Emerald Law (Ms Sharifah) to represent me in my divorce case, and I am incredibly satisfied with the level of service and support I received throughout the process. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Ms Sharifah demonstrated professionalism and empathy. My case was handled with great care, and communication was consistent and clear, with timely updates and responses to my questions, which helped to alleviate much of the stress involved. What stood out the most was Ms Sharifah’s commitment to ensuring a fair and just outcome. She provided me with sound legal advice, helping me navigate difficult decisions with clarity and confidence. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation for every stage of the case gave me a peace of mind, knowing that I was in capable hands. I am grateful for the team’s support during this challenging time and would highly recommend Emerald Law to anyone in need of legal assistance for divorce or family law matters.

3. IRB Law LLP
Address: 229 Mountbatten Rd, #02-27
Contact Details: +65 6298 2537
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9:30 am to 6 pm
If a prolonged trial sounds like a proper nightmare, giving IRB Law LLP a shot wouldn’t hurt. This 2012-founded practice acts early by negotiating penalty reductions with prosecutors.
That shouldn’t be interpreted as them avoiding a fight; “We don’t tell our clients to concede,” is something they usually say, you know.
Besides, they have Mohammed Baiross as a managing/founding partner. He’s a criminal defence savant with experience in criminal appeals and representing individuals charged with capital offences.
Our team’s major gripe, however, is that operations end at 6 pm, the earliest closure on this list.
There’s also room for quicker replies. While most interviewees love that WhatsApp answers come fast, we still met some who complained about delayed email responses or updates.
On a positive note, IRB is frequently labelled as highly sincere and empathetic, with a few lawyers even waiving minor charges to not overwhelm clients financially.
Easy to Talk To
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!

Patient and Responsive
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. Ms 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.

4. Bishop Law
Address: 3 South Buona Vista Rd, #b1-51 Viva Vista
Contact Details: +65 8299 5966
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9 am to 5 pm
Unlike the previous firms, Bishop Law specialises in criminal defence. The majority of their DUI work is grounded in limiting fines, presenting mitigation pleas, keeping a clean record, and representing clients in court.
Giving honest advice is also the standard practice ever since they opened. From what clients say, legal positions and likely outcomes are clearly explained without unrealistic assurances or scare tactics.
Our main criticism is that most entries overshadow them in terms of team size and longevity. You’re looking at a four-lawyer firm that started in 2019, which is a relatively new opening date.
The positive side of that? Bishop Law doesn’t turn away clients. Founder Jaesh, in particular, is often called a “lawyer of the people” for representing ordinary citizens.
And since their client volume is lower than that of other picks, wait periods tend to be shorter.
The outcome was as good as could have been wanted.
The support, advice and honest opinions were invaluable. The outcome was as good as could have been wanted. My eternal thanks and I would have no hesitation in recommending Bishop Law if you are ever in need of pragmatic and supportive assistance navigating Singapore legislation, no matter what your situation.

Gave Me His Full Attention
I’ve consulted with Jaesh on a few occasions. Each time, he gave me his full attention, deep thought, and sound advice. He was empathetic and professional. I think Jaesh is the lawyer you’d like by your side to advise and help you in case legal matters arise.

5. Vaswani Law Chambers
Address: 1 Pickering St, #08-01 KLOUD Great Eastern Centre
Contact Details: +65 8847 6630
Operating Hours: Daily – 8 am to 9 pm
Sanjiv Vaswani is the primary reason Vaswani Law Chambers made this review. For one, he’s no stranger to criminal law, having served as Singapore’s Attorney-General’s Chambers’ Deputy Public Prosecutor.
In 2018, the President of Singapore even awarded him with the Pingat Kepujian (Commendation Medal).
Results-wise, Sanjiv usually produces two outcomes: favourable ones and smooth resolutions. Most clients attribute such wins to his strategic approach, which is delivered in a language the average Singaporean understands.
If there’s a drawback, it’s size. Sanjiv oversees nearly everything, and he doesn’t have the massive staff that larger practices have.
As a firm, Vaswani Law Chambers is our “newest” entrant as well. It’s still under the 5-year mark by the time of writing.
The upside is that Sanjiv rarely trails in response time, even replying to clients outside his regular business hours.
He gave good advice
Mr. Sanjiv was absolutely helpful during this stressful period. He gave good advice, and also remain reachable throughout whenever you need him. Like what stated, he is definitely a very strategic lawyer. Definitely one of the highly recommend lawyer out there! It was never a mistake and never a regret engaging him.

Thoughtful Legal Advice
Mr Sanjiv helped me so much with his experience, dedication and thoughtful legal advice. He achieved the best possible outcome for my case and I’m sincerely grateful to him for giving many ideas and trying out all possible options in order to achieve the best result. Whenever I was confused, he took time even out of work hours to explain every step with clarity. He was also very empathetic and offered kind words of life advice for my case. Once again, I would like to express my deepest thanks to Mr Sanjiv and I would highly recommend him for legal advice.
