As a registered barrister, we’re proud to share one of our most remarkable successes: reducing a potential death penalty sentence for our client to just two years in prison. This achievement is particularly outstanding given the complexity of the case, which involved international suspects and victims from five different countries, and the high media attention it received.

Our client, Zwe Lin Pyae, was the primary defendant in the widely publicized murder case of Chu Chiang Shen. This case was followed closely by media outlets worldwide, and many similar cases ended with severe sentences such as life in prison or even the death penalty. That’s what makes this result so exceptional—our client, facing the most serious charges, walked away with a significantly reduced sentence.

How Did We Do It?

The key to our success was early involvement. Right after our client’s arrest, we quickly appeared at the police station to guide the initial investigation, ensuring that every word in the police report was carefully handled. The importance of managing that first encounter with law enforcement cannot be overstated, as these early details often shape the rest of the case.

From there, we defended our client at every stage—securing evidence, protecting their rights in court, and managing plea negotiations. Our proactive approach over the course of 10 months ensured that every piece of evidence submitted to the police investigation would support our defense.

A Legal Milestone

Reducing a death penalty case to just two years is not just about good lawyering—it’s about strategy, dedication, and timing. As a registered barrister, we’ve defended clients facing the most serious charges, and time and again, we’ve proven that the right legal representation can turn a dire situation into one of hope.
