About Me
Get to Know Your Advocate
EXPERIENCED.
APPROACHABLE.
COMMITTED TO QUALITY.
Twenty years of civil litigation experience, with a particular passion for family law.
Legal disputes are rarely just about the law.When a matter involves your marriage, your children, your finances or your future, the legal process can feel overwhelming.
You need someone who understands both the law and what is at stake for you personally.
I have spent almost 20 years in civil litigation and have developed a particular passion for family law.
I enjoy the complexity of family law and, perhaps more importantly, I value the opportunity to help people through some of the most difficult periods of their lives.
My approach is straightforward:
provide sound legal advice, prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly and work towards the best possible outcome for each client.

What is a Trust Account Advocate?
Advocates are legal specialists who focus on litigation, primarily presenting their clients’ cases in higher courts like the High Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal. Advocates who specialize in Family Law also often appear in lower courts such as Children’s Court, Domestic Violence Court, and Maintenance Court.
There’s a lot of work involved before a case makes it to the courtroom. Advocates need to consult with clients, conduct thorough legal research, draft complex legal documents, consider evidence, and prepare for the hearings.
Before 2018 all advocates were referral advocates. What this meant is that they could only receive work from attorneys. Attorneys consulted with the members of the public and then referred the clients to a specific advocate at his/her discretion.
The Legal Practice Act transformed the legal profession and created a new type of legal practitioner, a trust account advocate as provided for in Section 34 (2) (a) (ii) of the Act.Members of the public now have the opportunity, in appropriate circumstances, to approach a trust account advocate directly for legal advice and representation.
This provides clients with greater freedom to choose the legal professional best suited to their individual needs. Direct access may also provide a more streamlined and cost-effective way of obtaining legal assistance, while allowing clients to benefit directly from the specialist expertise of an advocate.

What my Clients Say
Consultation Process
WHERE IS THE PRACTICE LOCATED?
I provide legal services to clients across South Africa, with consulting offices in Pretoria and Hartbeespoort. My focus is on the Gauteng and North-West regions, and I frequently appear in the High Courts of Gauteng and the High Court of Mmabatho. Please note that while I can accommodate clients nationwide, travel and correspondent costs may apply for cases outside of my primary areas of operation
REFERRAL BRIEF POLICY
I have recently made the decision to expand my legal practice to accommodate instructions from the public.
However, I wish to reassure the attorneys with whom I have cultivated positive working relationships over the years that I remain open to accepting referral work. My objective is to consistently deliver exceptional service to all clients, whether they are referred by attorneys or approached me directly. It is important to note that if I accept a referral brief from an attorney, I adhere to the principle of professional integrity by not allowing the client to transition to a direct brief.
