Pathom Khanyanathom stands out if you need solid representation for assault charges—or honestly, anything in Thai criminal law.

With an impressive legal career dating back to 1979, Pathom brings a practical, no-nonsense approach. His clients rave about how steady and composed he is in the courtroom; he doesn’t get flustered, even when things heat up. 

Pathom and his colleagues managed to combine deep Thai experience with international insight, since the team is made up of both Thai and Western attorneys. 

Plus, they’re comfortable working in both English and Thai, making life much easier if you don’t speak Thai fluently. They also have an impressive scope: assault and violent crimes, family matters, corporate disputes, IP issues, and even US immigration law.

Transparency is big for Chaninat & Leeds—there’s no wild guesswork about procedure or costs. However, if you’re hoping for weekend office hours or an informative social media, that’s not really their thing.

Personalized service

“Based on my experience with other law firms in Thailand, this law firm is unique. Their work is extremely professional, but they also show empathy and are pleasant to work with. When I contacted other law offices, I received very formal, canned responses. Chaninat Law Office was responsive to my questions and needs and was much more helpful and personable. The lawyers work really well as a team, are highly productive, and their English is excellent. This firm specializes in trial disputes and both criminal and civil law. I highly recommend them.”

Highly professional

“I have met and worked with these lawyers extensively. They are extremely professional and know how to handle international cases. They are super reliable. The owner is an American-Thai lawyer, which made me feel even more confident.

Fees are fair, and the outcome was 100% worth it. Jiraporn and Suthida were very competent and helpful.  The whole lawyer team is super kind, polite, and just makes you feel at ease. Hard to find that kind of vibe anywhere else.”

Kittisak Sriparesri at Siam Legal International navigates both straightforward assault cases and the really complicated, high-stakes ones like fraud, embezzlement, and even issues tied to the newer cannabis regulations.

Aside from having a practical, calm approach, he’s also incredibly well-versed in corporate matters, regulatory compliance, and cross-border cases. This makes Siam Legal feel like a true full-service option, especially for expats or business clients.

Walking into their office, you’ll notice right away how accessible everything is, and they can handle both Thai and English fluently.  Another plus for Kittisak’s communication skills is that he can explain procedures clearly, without burying us in jargon.

Past clients we spoke with also highlighted that their consultations feel relaxed rather than rushed.

Our only gripe is that clients might need to follow up a couple of times to get a reply when things are busy—we had to call them many times just to get Kittisak’s office schedule.

Exceptional dedication

“Kanda and Aom are the absolute best! Whatever type of visa you are looking for they will go above and beyond to get you the best option to fit your goals in Thailand. They handled everything for me stress free, always responded to my emails and even called me when I needed. I am truly impressed by the care and the detail they put into helping me with my visa application and were  very straightforward and honest. Even telling me when I needed to do better on my end to help with the application, which I truly  appreciate, and it made the process seamless. I will definitely be using them in the future for me and my family.”

Highly responsive probate assistance

“I contacted Siam Legal International for legal assistance with a probate matter. I had the pleasure of Jean looking after my case and she was absolutely superb. Very quick to respond and understood the issues i was having in the UK and what was required to sort it. From initial contact to document drafted was very quick, I can’t praise her enough. Thankyou Jean

Jompol Jhanyakul at Lex Prime, who’s fluent in Thai and English (plus has a decent grasp of French), makes the whole legal process feel way less intimidating. His impressive portfolio is stacked with serious criminal litigation and defense work.

Furthermore, he has dealt with everything from assault to property disputes, defamation, and even tricky insurance issues. 

Having been a go-to advisor for big travel firms and the Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Chonburi says a lot about his networking and influence in complicated matters.

One thing that keeps coming up is that people love that Lex Prime offers a free initial consultation. Moreover, their 24/7 availability makes them accessible if something urgent pops up.

It’s also great that the staff are upfront about strategies and fees, so most clients walk out feeling prepared, knowing what to expect. However, we’ve heard from a few clients that if they’re swamped, you might wait days for follow-up after the first consultation.

Nonetheless, once getting ahold of Mr. Jompol, you’ll appreciate that he actually listens and doesn’t rush clients—his empathy really sets him apart.

Compassionate support

“After my Franco-Thai child was abducted from France to Thailand by my wife, I contacted this law firm. They are a highly professional, compassionate, and responsive team, always striving to find the best solution for their clients. Thanks to this firm, I was able to travel to Thailand to retrieve my child, and we will be returning home together in a few days. They provided me with unwavering moral support throughout this ordeal. I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to them.”

Nattapol Suwanamas at Juslaws & Consult tackles everything from criminal and civil cases to labor, business disputes, tax, and even complicated corporate restructuring.

His clear way of breaking stuff down is a huge relief, especially for those who aren’t fluent in Thai law. You can tell he’s part of a team that’s battle-tested as well: Juslaws boasts more than 35 attorneys in Bangkok and a history of 2500+ clients!

We also commend them for having a website that’s a goldmine for research. If you ever want to prep before meeting them, it covers everything in detail, with guides and news updates that show they follow legal trends and changes. 

Another thing that stood out in our books is Nattapol’s transparency. He’s upfront about fee structures and legal strategies, so you’re not blindsided at any point. 

Plus, he’s available pretty much around the clock, though some folks mentioned that updates and document processing from the admin part become slow when things get hectic.

Otherwise, what sets Nattapol apart is how attentive, ethical, and genuinely invested he is in each case.

Life-changing immigration support

“I had a serious issue regarding immigration in Thailand in 2025. I reach out for assistance from Juslaws and they provided a timely advice which was truly helpful. I solved my issues by following exactly on their advice. It has been a life-changing moment. I will recommend Juslaws to all those that were dealing with Thailand Immigration issues!”

Informative civil law assistance

Jirattikarn Suriya holds a Bachelor of Laws from Ramkhamhaeng, has been licensed since 2012, and also earned her master’s from NIDA. With these, we just know she’s got the credentials to handle just about anything.

But honestly, what really makes her stand out is how involved she is with every client’s case, no matter the complexity.

Whether it’s a complicated criminal matter, a tricky financial dispute, or sensitive issues like fraud and property cases, Jirattikarn blends legal expertise with a direct, relatable approach.

Clients consistently mention how her straightforward approach helped calm anxieties, and we’ve noticed this, too! She’s incredibly patient and never rushes anyone through meetings, taking the time to really understand the situation and tailor a solution that fits. 

Her free consultation policy is another huge perk. Plus, the way she responds promptly during business hours definitely makes things smoother.

The only thing to watch for is her schedule. Jirattikarn’s in high demand, so you may want to book a bit in advance.

Long-term satisfaction
