When it comes to legal help, choosing the wrong lawyer costs more than just money. It also costs time and stress that you don’t have capacity for. That’s where That Lawyer Friend (TLF) aims to bridge the gap between client needs and finding trusted lawyers in Singapore. Founder CAMERON RICHARDS shares how the free-to-use online platform achieves this.
Cutting through the stress – quickly find the right lawyer in Singapore
When Cameron needed legal advice on a business matter, he did what most people probably do – asked around, searched online, got a name and paid a retainer.
He didn’t get the legal help that he needed… and he paid the price! “What followed was slow, expensive advice that turned out not to be right for my situation at all,” he says. “In panic mode, I’d chosen the most available lawyer in Singapore, not the right one. It cost me significantly in money, time and stress I didn’t have.”
Through his experience, Cameron realised that the issue wasn’t the lawyer but the system of finding the right one.
He elaborates: “Legal services have always been a black box, opaque by design. You don’t know who’s right for your problem, you don’t know what it should cost, you have no real way to gauge outcomes before you’ve already committed. The moment you need help is exactly the moment you have the least capacity to figure it out.”
That Lawyer Friend aims to change that, making it easy for anyone to find the right lawyer for their specific legal issue.
Quick, accurate matches to get the right legal help
Cameron says, “Think of That Lawyer Friend as a little like Tinder – but for lawyers in Singapore, and with far smarter matching. For Suits fans, think Donna in your corner – calm, unflappable and always knowing exactly who to call before anyone else has even realised there’s a problem.”
Clients simply describe their legal issue in plain English and the platform’s matching engine identifies the most suitable legal expertise. “Behind every match is a proprietary algorithm built on verified reviews, speed of response, specialist expertise, track record with similar cases and free estimates. The algorithm gets smarter with every match made.”
Fee transparency is built in from the onset, too. This helps removes frustrations over pricing that only appears after a client has invested time and trust.
Built on and powered by trust
Once a client and lawyer match, the conversation is moved off platform entirely. What you share with your lawyer in Singapore stays strictly between the two of you.
Cameron adds that every lawyer on the platform goes through a structured onboarding process. They’re assessed on genuine specialist expertise, track record and fit – not just qualifications. In this way, That Lawyer Friend is a curated network of lawyers in Singapore, not a directory.
“It’s the smarter way to find the right lawyer in Singapore – before the wrong choice costs you more money and more time.”
