Our Expertise & Legal Services
Take advantage of our free once-off consultation at our Port Elizabeth branch and experience the exceptional results we achieve across the following dedicated practice areas:
Litigation & Civil Law (Delict & Contracts): Formidable Advocacy
We provide formidable representation for both private and corporate clients in the Magistrate’s, Regional, and High Courts. We handle complex civil claims founded in Contract Law (breach of contract, specific performance) and the Law of Delict (wrongful arrest, defamation, professional negligence, personal injury, and Road Accident Fund claims).
Divorce & Family Law: Protecting Your Financial & Emotional Well-being
We aim to make the difficult divorce process as short and uncomplicated as possible. We strike a careful balance between being stern with the opposition and securing the most favorable financial result for our clients—including the rightful division of pension and policy benefits. We handle opposed and unopposed divorces, meticulous maintenance calculations, primary care and access disputes, and expert mediation.
Criminal Law: Sound, Strategic Legal Defense
We have the extensive expertise required to provide a sound legal defense against a wide array of criminal charges. We handle bail applications and represent clients facing charges for crimes against the State (public violence), the community (drug/alcohol offenses, sexual offenses), the person (assault, culpable homicide, murder), and property (theft, robbery, fraud).
Debt Collection & Debt Review: Maximizing Financial Recovery
We utilize a highly successful, standardized legal process to trace debtors, issue summons, and secure Emolument Attachment Orders to maximize your debt recovery. Conversely, we proudly assist consumers throughout the Eastern Cape with obtaining, varying, and rescinding Debt Review orders, alongside fiercely protecting victims of reckless credit lending.
Contract Law & Property Sales: Plain-Language Legal Protection
We protect individuals and business owners by drafting legally enforceable, plain-language contracts. We specialize in Antenuptial Contracts, employment agreements, loan agreements, and commercial leases. We also draft professional sale agreements for businesses and immovable property, ensuring swift Deeds Office registrations.
Wills & Estates: Expeditious Estate Planning
We save you time and money by conducting proper estate planning and drafting your professional will on the very same day as your first consultation—storing the original safely for free. Situated in close proximity to the Port Elizabeth Master’s Office, we ensure the highly effective and expeditious winding up of deceased estates within legally stipulated timeframes.
