The courts are not able to provide legal advice. Legal advice is when you are provided specific information about your legal matter and guidance on the legal options available to you.

Refer to the following to find out about the legal resources, legal assistance schemes and programmes you can apply for.

Engage a lawyer

The Legal Service Regulatory Authority (LSRA) offers an online directory of the names, addresses and other useful information of all practising lawyers in Singapore. You can also Find a Lawyer based on the area of law provided by the Law Society.

You may also approach any of the following organisations for legal advice:

• Legal Aid Bureau.

• Legal advice service (People's Association).

• Pro Bono SG

• Public Defender's Office

If you are in need of a lawyer but unable to afford one, you may apply for a legal assistance scheme relevant to your case. Kindly refer to the judiciary website (https://www.judiciary.gov.sg/legal-help-support/family-case) for more information on the various legal assistance schemes and other support services.
