With a 28-year legacy as a SAPS detective, Grant brings an "insider" perspective to every case, understanding exactly how evidence is built and where procedures falter.

Our Specialist Areas of Practice
Criminal Law & Defence
In criminal law, the difference between a conviction and an acquittal often lies in the details of the initial investigation. Because Grant spent nearly three decades as a detective, he possesses a unique tactical advantage. He understands exactly where procedures can falter and how to scrutinise state evidence for inconsistencies. From bail applications and police interviews to trials in the Magistrate and High Court, we offer dedicated, results-driven support to protect your constitutional rights.
Whether you are facing domestic violence matters or complex criminal charges, we provide aggressive representation at every stage of the process. We handle the entire journey—including appeals—with a focus on achieving the best possible outcome. When you are represented by Grant Trent, you are represented by someone who knows the system from the inside out.
Family Law
Family-related legal matters require a delicate balance of firm legal protection and genuine empathy. We guide our clients through the emotional complexities of divorce, separation, and child custody with clarity and sensitivity. Our goal is to protect the best interests of your children while ensuring that fair maintenance and care arrangements are secured.
At Grant Trent Attorneys, we understand that family matters are deeply personal. We assist with the drafting of parenting plans and help you navigate the legal steps for protection orders to ensure your safety and peace of mind. We combine specialist legal expertise with a caring, client-focussed approach to support you and your loved ones through every transition.
Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, or pain and suffering. We assist clients in preparing and managing RAF claims with meticulous attention to detail. Our team handles the entire process—from filing the claim to negotiating settlements or representing you in court—allowing you to focus on your recovery while we fight for your rights.
Labour & Employment Law
Workplace disputes can be incredibly disruptive to both your professional life and personal peace of mind. We provide expert guidance for both employers and employees, handling matters ranging from unfair dismissals and retrenchments to representation at the CCMA and Bargaining Councils.
Our approach is results-driven, aimed at resolving grievances quickly and fairly. From drafting compliant employment contracts and policies to chairing disciplinary hearings, we ensure that all workplace actions are carried out in strict accordance with South African labour regulations, protecting your interests at every turn.
Civil Litigation & Debt Collection
Civil litigation involves resolving disputes between individuals or organisations through the legal system, including contract disputes and property issues. We attend to matters in both the High Court and Magistrate Court, aiming to reach the best possible outcome through negotiation, mediation, or decisive court proceedings.
Additionally, we provide professional debt collection services to recover what is owed to you. We understand that recovering outstanding debt is time-consuming and stressful; therefore, we manage the process from formal letters of demand to legal action, ensuring full compliance with the law while maintaining professional standards.
