Who We Are

Who We Are

NFALAW, or Norman Fahmi & Associates, is a Malaysian law firm focused on criminal defence and related litigation, investigations and enforcement matters. The firm’s current practice covers serious criminal matters from investigation and arrest through remand, charges, trials and appeals, depending on the facts, procedural stage and formal scope of instruction.

NFALAW identifies itself as an Advocates & Solicitors practice and Commissioner for Oaths, registered with the Malaysian Bar under Registration No. 000020009282 pursuant to Section 85(1) of the Legal Profession Act 1976. Professional information is published so that visitors can understand who they are dealing with before making an enquiry.

Our Approach

A Criminal Defence Practice Built Around Preparation

Criminal matters can move quickly and the important questions often arise before a case reaches trial. The firm's preparation-led approach begins by understanding the allegation, the authority involved, the current procedural stage and any urgent date or document that may affect the next step.

The approach is straightforward: understand the facts first, identify the immediate decision points, check professional conflicts, explain the information that is needed and then discuss the appropriate scope of any formal instruction. The aim is clear communication and disciplined preparation rather than assumptions about an outcome.
