Divorce Mediation & Family Law: Personal Commitment
I focus on divorce mediation and family law because I know how hard divorce can be. As a trained mediator and member of the Mediation Society of South Africa, I help families find peaceful solutions, especially when children are involved. Mediation gives everyone a better chance to agree and move ahead in a positive way.
