Attorney Martin Decruz of
The Law Society of Singapore presented Martin with a law license in 1991
The Law Society of Singapore found Martin guilty of the following misconduct.
Martin along with his then partner, Ang Chin Peng found it acceptable to grossly inflate their legal bills by about $566,000, when the actual amount should have been $170,000.
The complaints against Martin and Ang were filed by a grandson of Mr. Quek Seng Kee and Madam Leong Siew Gong, whose estates were being handled by the two crooked lawyers.
The appellate court stated the in absolute figures, the fraudulent billing amount to around $400,000. The court said, “Such a huge difference in the figures can only be regarded as egregious and can hardly be justified.”

As we speak, (ca. March 2015), Martin practices with Shenton Law Practice LLP at
