Hi everyone,

I’m currently dealing with amalgamated shop theft charges and alleged bail reoffending matters, and I have an upcoming reporting date soon. I’m trying to find a good criminal defence lawyer urgently and would appreciate any recommendations or advice from people who have dealt with similar situations before.

This is my first time dealing with the legal system, so I’m unsure what I should be preparing or asking lawyers during consultations.

Mainly looking for:

• How to best serve prison sentence. Also where i am most likely to be sent and how to navigate that environment
• recommendations for experienced criminal lawyers,
• what to expect during the process,
• things I should prepare beforehand,
• and any advice on choosing the right lawyer / handling legal fees.

Not looking to argue the case here, just trying to get my affairs in order properly and handle things responsibly.

Thanks in advance everyone

There is a particular policy in Singapore that I personally feel is gender discriminatory, namely caning in judicial and school contexts. Apart from that, I don't think caning solves the root cause of wrongdoing, inflicts physical and possibly psychological harm which is highly criticised by a reputable human rights organisation, Amnesty International. I have created a petition to call for its abolition so you can check out:

Can someone point me towards where I can search for free legal advice regarding s\*xual assault against a minor that went unreported for a decade?
