The firm is led by Mr Ong Peng Boon, supported directly by associate lawyer Wee Hong Shern across criminal and civil areas of practice.
Wee Hong Shern brings a solid academic and professional background to the firm. He graduated from the United Kingdom in 2012 with Second Upper Honours, went on to attain a Diploma in Legal Practice (LPC) with commendation in 2013, and was called to the Singapore Bar in August 2015, becoming an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore.

The firm's services span a wide spectrum of legal need. On the criminal and family side, Ong & Co LLC handles criminal law and divorce and family matters, alongside general civil litigation. For property and business clients, the firm covers conveyancing, landlord and tenant matters, and corporate and commercial work. Beyond these core areas, the firm also advises on accident and personal injury claims, arbitration and dispute resolution, banking and finance, bankruptcy and insolvency, building and construction, court martial cases, intellectual property, medical negligence, Syariah law, and trusts, wills and probate — a spread that lets many clients resolve multiple legal needs under one roof.
One area where Ong & Co LLC offers particularly detailed public guidance is criminal law. The firm's published advice walks through what happens at each stage of a case: police arrest procedures and rights of investigation, the bailing process at the police station, and how to visit someone remanded under a court order for investigation purposes, including cases where an accused is detained by an agency other than the police, such as ICA or MOM.
For clients whose case has progressed to court, the firm advises on the bail process and the amount of bail to be furnished, as well as applications to vary bail already granted. For those remanded in Changi or elsewhere pending a court case, the firm advises on visit schedules and arrangements to interview an inmate in person, including at Kranji Detention Barracks. The firm also advises individuals in a Drug Rehabilitation Centre navigating pending criminal charges, and on arrests by other enforcement agencies such as SAF, CPIB, NEA, HAS, IRAS and MOH.
Ong & Co LLC also provides advice specifically for foreigners, covering applications for Long-term Pass, S Pass, E Pass, Work Permit and Student Pass, and the requirement for arrested foreigners to furnish a Singaporean or Permanent Resident as bailor. The firm is affiliated with law firms in Malaysia, allowing it to provide briefs for Singaporeans arrested there — useful for clients navigating a legal matter across the Causeway.
Consultations run Monday to Friday, with criminal matters seen from 1pm to 4pm and civil matters from 3pm to 8pm; weekend and public holiday appointments are available upon special arrangement. Ong & Co LLC notes that all advice published online is only a brief summary, and encourages anyone with a specific case to make an appointment to speak with a lawyer directly. The firm can be reached by phone at its Anson Road office, with separate mobile lines listed for criminal and civil matters.
