Recent Reviews (2024 to 2025)

These reviews were sent directly to ThaiLawOnline by clients during the 2024 and 2025 period, after the firm rebranded from Isaan Lawyers to ThaiLawOnline. Quotes are verbatim. First names and last initials are used to protect client privacy; full names are on file.

“I recommend the fast and clear communication with Sebastian and Khun Wichuda. They answered my questions the same day and were flexible in adapting my wishes. All in all a smooth process. Great service, with a positive outcome.”

Marc V., Dutch client, Chiang Mai (February 2024).

“A big thank you to Sébastien Brousseau and his team, very professional and responsive, a great help when dealing with administrative offices that have no experience with mixed marriages and usufruct contracts. I recommend +++”

Philippe L., Dutch client, Chiang Mai (February 2024). Mixed marriage and usufruct contract.

“Great service combined with thorough AI research. Sebastian took the time to add a very helpful narrative giving me context, explanations of the AI information, and a summary of his experience regarding my question. I feel much more confident how to proceed and how I can use his services to come up with the best solution to help my child. I know from past experience with Sebastian that he will go the extra mile leading to a very effective and clear final product.”

Jason B., American client (January 2024). Child-related family law matter, returning client.

“Excellent service very smooth and professional, thanks! We are now happily married.”

Chelsea F., British client (March 2024). Marriage in Thailand.

“For everybody who is looking for a Thai lawyer, try Sebastien and his team from ThaiLawOnline. Instead of asking you to pay first, they help you to get an idea of the relevant Thai laws and options. Communication in English is good and their prices for services/contracts are clear and very competitive.”

Arjan U., Dutch client (March 2025). Praises pricing transparency and pre-payment legal guidance.

Common themes across recent reviews: same-day response, transparent pricing without upfront payment pressure, AI-augmented research with human legal context, experience navigating Thai administrative offices for unusual matters (mixed marriages, usufruct contracts, foreign-asset prenups), and multilingual service in English, French, and Thai. Khun Wichuda Atthamethakon, our Thai lawyer (a licensed member of the Lawyers Council of Thailand), is named in client feedback for her clarity and patience with foreign clients.

Divorce and Family Law (2014 to 2022, Isaan Lawyers Era)

“Thank you very much for your guidance, patience and professionalism to completion of the divorce in Yasothon Province. I am very pleased with both you and Jinny and being made to feel at ease through the process. We may have another project involving a will for parents residing in Ubon Province to begin before the end of this year. For sure, if anyone in Isaan asks, you will have a high recommendation from us for your care and honesty.”

Royce Payne, divorce in Yasothon Province (August 2021). Returned 2 months later for a will.

Royce’s case was a contested divorce in a rural Isaan province where most foreign clients struggle to find English-speaking representation. We handled the filing, the court appearance, and the subsequent will instructions for his parents. See our complete divorce guide and the family law consultation page.

Wills and Inheritance

“I had many years ago contact with you, and I was very satisfied. This time it is more personal. I am now 84.”

Joseph Mendes, last will and testament (September 2021). Returning client.

“My wife and I used your services to complete our Thai wills. We normally reside in Yasothon, presently in Canada till next month.”

Dave Allen, Thai wills and follow-on property advice (October 2021). Repeat client, cross-border (Thailand and Canada).

“Je vous remercie. Cordialement.”

Denis Le Bail, last will in French (June 2021).

Most of our wills clients are foreigners over 60 with property, family, and bank accounts both in Thailand and abroad. We draft Thai wills that work alongside foreign wills without conflict. See Inheritance Law in Thailand: Complete Guide for Foreigners for the full process. A Thai will starts at 3,900 THB.

Property, Usufruct, and Land

“I would like to thank you and your team for the excellent service you have provided. Already posted the review on Google. Keep up the good work.”

Matthew Baker, usufruct agreement and last will (August 2021).

“We went over all your insights. It turns out that the translator didn’t do it correctly. Some of the items were not on the list.”

Robert Timmermans, property document review and translation audit (October 2021).

Sebastien has personally drafted more than 100 usufruct agreements over 15 years in Thailand. Not one has been cancelled by a Thai court. The reason is straightforward: we draft them to comply with Sections 1417 to 1428 of the Civil and Commercial Code, register them at the Land Office on the same day as title transfer, and pair each one with a witness file. See our deeper articles on usufruct for foreigners in Thailand and usufruct and marriage in Thailand.

Business Setup and Company Registration

“That is fantastic news. I appreciate your advice. I thank you for your time and patience.”

Rio Valdes, company registration for a bakery business (October 2021).

Company setup for foreign investors is one of our most complex services because the 2026 amendments to the Foreign Business Act introduced AI-driven nominee detection (the DBD’s IBAS system) and a new bank-statement requirement for Thai shareholders. We register limited companies, BOI-promoted entities, and US Treaty of Amity companies. See our complete 2026 FBA amendments guide.

General Legal Advice and Responsiveness

“I appreciate your helpful advice on buying a motorbike. Really appreciate your getting back to me.”

Mark Davis, general consultation on vehicle purchase (August 2021).

Many clients reach out for one-off questions: a vehicle title, a rental contract, an immigration form, a translation. We handle these on a fixed-fee basis (typically 5,000 THB for a written legal opinion or document review) without pushing clients into a larger engagement they don’t need.

Repeat Clients: The Strongest Form of Social Proof

The clearest signal that our work is good: clients come back. The table below shows real repeat-client patterns from a single recent period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these testimonials real?

Yes. Every quote on this page is verbatim from a client email between 2014 and 2025. Names are real. Where a client requested anonymity, the case is described without identifying detail. Originals are kept on file.

Do you have Google Reviews?

Yes. Several clients have posted Google reviews over the years, including reviews for Isaan Lawyers (Sebastien’s firm 2007 to 2022) and for ThaiLawOnline since 2022. Search “ThaiLawOnline” or “Isaan Lawyers” on Google Maps.

Can you connect me with a past client as a reference?

For high-value engagements (typically property purchases above 5 million THB or company structures involving foreign investment), yes. We will reach out to past clients with similar matters and ask them if they are willing to take a call. We never share client contact details without the client’s explicit permission.

What if my matter is small? Will you still take it?

Yes. Many of the testimonials on this page are from clients who came in for a single small matter (a will, a vehicle question, a rental contract). We treat small matters with the same care as large ones, on transparent fixed fees.
