Criminal Defence & Advisory FAQs
A criminal lawyer represents clients who have been accused of crimes — from minor offences to very serious ones. At Grace S. Nathan, we specialise in criminal defence litigation. We handle everything from initial advice, investigations, bail applications, through to trial and appeals.
If you’re accused of a crime and looking for the best criminal lawyer in Malaysia, we offer strategic defence, clear guidance, and experienced courtroom advocacy.
“Kes 39B” refers to offences under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 in Malaysia.
This section deals with trafficking in dangerous drugs, the penalties include death or life imprisonment (and whipping) in many cases. Because of its severity, if you’re accused under Section 39B, you need an experienced criminal lawyer immediately.
A police report under the Royal Malaysia Police is usually made at the inception of an investigation. It does not follow as a matter of course that a legal charge will ensue - the police investigate, may arrest or remand, and then the prosecution decides to charge.
If you happen to be an accused or witness to a police report regarding yourself, seek an immediate appointment with a criminal lawyer. Our lawyers at Grace S. Nathan will help review your rights, how to respond to the report, guide you through any police interview, and manage bail or defence strategy.
Yes — although we are known for being among the best criminal lawyer practices in Malaysia, we also have a strong reputation in corporate criminal advisory and corporate/regulatory defence.
Whether you’re a business facing regulatory investigations (anti-money-laundering, fintech licensing, corporate crime) or an individual accused of white-collar crime, we are equipped to advise and defend.
Absolutely. Our criminal defence practice covers serious offences, including human trafficking. At Grace S. Nathan we defend clients accused of trafficking, smuggling, and other cross-border or serious criminal conduct.
Because human trafficking is highly complex (involving immigration, cross-border issues, multiple victims, heavy penalties), choosing a specialist lawyer with deep experience is critical. We can help you navigate the investigation, build your defence strategy, protect your rights, and represent you at trial or on appeal.
