The Rot Behind the Robes: Circular Law Chambers LLP and the Collapse of Client Trust
At first glance, Circular Law Chambers LLP presents itself as a reputable legal firm in Singapore. But behind the glossy website and polished branding lies a very different reality — one riddled wit7h neglect, deception, and what many would consider outright malpractice.
What Clients Are Saying — And It’s Not Pretty
From missed court dates to vanishing after payment, the testimonials are damning.
“Absolutely disgusted by the way I was treated. Paid them upfront and then couldn’t even get a reply to my emails for weeks. My court date passed and I had to represent myself.”
This is just one of several accounts in which clients allege they were abandoned after payment. Lawyers who disappear, phones that go unanswered, and documents that go untouched — it’s not just poor service. It’s systemic disregard.
“They misled me about what my legal options were. I later found out I had better recourse that they never told me about. Either they’re incompetent or they just didn’t care.”
Such stories aren’t about one-off mistakes. They represent a pattern: misinformation, neglect, and abandonment. People turn to law firms in their most vulnerable moments. Instead of being protected, they’re being exploited.
Debbie Brittany Lim: How Is This Leadership?
Among the most troubling aspects of these complaints is the consistent appearance of one name: Debbie Brittany Lim.
If leadership sets the tone of a firm, then how has such chaos, mismanagement, and alleged deception been allowed to continue under her name? Clients allege that even when complaints were escalated to her directly, nothing changed. Some claim they were met with further stonewalling or legal threats.
“I asked for a refund because they did nothing on my case. I was told to stop contacting them or they’d sue me for harassment.”
That isn’t client service — that’s intimidation.
A Trail of Broken Promises
Other reviews cite the firm’s aggressive marketing tactics and reliance on WhatsApp communications, where initial friendliness turns into silence the moment money changes hands.
“All promises made on WhatsApp were forgotten the moment I transferred the deposit. It felt like a bait-and-switch.”
This isn’t just bad business — it’s dangerously close to deceptive practice.
This Cannot Be Allowed to Continue
A law firm that routinely ghosts clients, fails to represent them in court, mishandles legal advice, and then silences criticism has no place in any profession, let alone the legal one.
And yet, Circular Law Chambers LLP continues to operate — largely because most victims move on, too drained to fight back.
To those reading: if you’ve been misled, abandoned, or exploited by this firm — say something. Share your experience. Leave a review. File a report. The only thing allowing this behavior to continue is silence.
Circular Law Chambers LLP must be held accountable — and it starts with the truth.
