Facing Criminal Charges?
Let's clear the path.
Malaysian Advocate & Solicitor
I’m Danson Tan, experienced in criminal defense matters & my focus is to be the ally you need during life’s most challenging moments.
We Make the Law Work for You,
Not Against You.
The legal system wasn’t designed with your comfort in mind. When charges suddenly appear, you’re thrust into a maze in the dark. Police investigations. Court hearings. Sleepless nights wondering about your future. Every unfamiliar term creates doubt, every procedure adds to your anxiety.
“What separates a difficult legal situation from an impossible one is often just having someone who can show you the path forward. I’ve sat with people on their worst days. They need truth, clarity, and someone who sees the person behind the case number.
That’s where I come in. My job isn’t just to defend you legally—it’s to make sure you feel supported and in control throughout the entire process from the beginning to the end. I break down complex legal issues into clear, straightforward steps, so you always know what’s next. Whether you need immediate representation or simply want to understand your rights, I’m here to guide you.

Frequently Asked Questions
No—at least not without a lawyer present. You have the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to be treated fairly. Even if the authorities seem friendly, their job is to gather evidence, not to clear your name—yours is to protect yourself. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you’re innocent. However, know that this situation is manageable. Let us do the talking and ensure your words don’t get twisted.
Yes. A lawyer can protect your rights from the start, preventing costly mistakes before they happen. Early legal advice ensures you understand your options and avoid unnecessary risks. Don’t wait until charges are filed—the worst thing you can do is assume the truth will come out on its own. Fight back with legal representation that knows how to dismantle weak claims.
Bail allows you to be released while awaiting trial, but it depends on the severity of the charges and whether you’re a flight risk. We can argue for your release and negotiate reasonable bail terms to keep you out of custody.
Each case is different, but most end in either a dismissal, a negotiated plea, or trial. Our approach is strategic: we challenge weak evidence, identify procedural errors, and negotiate for the best possible outcome. If necessary, we are fully prepared to fight for you in court. One thing is certain: delays can hurt your chances. The faster we act, the more control we have over the outcome.
You still have options. Legal aid services like Jabatan Bantuan Guaman (JBG) and YBGK provide legal representation for those who qualify. If you’re unsure, let’s have an open discussion about your situation – there are often more options available than you might think.
You deserve a strong defense and clear guidance. Let’s build a strategy that protects your rights and gives you peace of mind.
