I recently contacted IRB Law to find out about how they could assist me with Shariah compliant Wills Planning. What struck me most when chatting with Mr Fadil was their non-pushy approach, allowing me to make informed decisions without any pressure. He was able to answer my (many) questions on Shariah Wills planning and I appreciate the way he clarified and answered my concerns. After a few months of chatting with Mr Fadil via WhatsApp, I was sufficiently impressed by his level of knowledge and follow up, so my wife and I decided to take their services and create our Last Will and Testament, Nuzriyah, and Lasting Power of Attorney. When going through the in-person meeting with Mr Dzul and Mr Fadil, we found they were patient, friendly, and extremely thorough in guiding us through the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring we understood each aspect of our Wills planning in accordance to Shariah principles. Even though it wasn't quite the cheapest in terms of pricing, I highly recommend them for their knowledge, expertise and professionalism.

Was approached by Mr Baiross and Ms Sharifah during the consultation. After sharing my situation, Mr Baiross given me a lot of assurance that I needed, which I’m really thankful for. Also, would praise Ms Sharifah for her efficiency in handling my case. The whole process was a smooth one, they constantly keep me updated and comfort me as I was feeling stressed out. Definitely will recommend anyone to IRB law firm. You will never regret choosing them! Thank you Mr Baiross, Ms Sharifah and team! 🙂
