My business is a single practitioner’s firm, which I run with the assistance of another attorney, associates, secretaries, and an office manager/bookkeeper.

The business originated in September 1996, when I left a firm of attorneys, Du Plessis and Eksteen where I practiced as an attorney for 5 years.

After my studies and obtaining BLC and LLB degrees, I was a public prosecutor for 3 years and was mainly stationed in Cullinan. I enjoyed the criminal cases in which I prosecuted the perpetrators  but was also the maintenance officer for the Cullinan Magistrates’ Court. Thereafter, I had to decide between becoming a state-advocate or starting my articles to become an attorney. I decided on the latter. I did two years of articles at Couzyn Hertzog and Horak and was then admitted as an attorney in 1991.

During my articles I did the notarial exam and was admitted as a Notary in 1993. During 2003 I decided to do a further qualification and  was admitted as a Conveyancer in 2003.

After I left Du Plessis and Eksteen I mainly specialised in Road Accident Fund matters and Family law. I scaled down the Road Accident Fund matters since 2015 as,  in my opinion, it became more and more of a risk to have that as the main portion of your income.

I then started concentrating on Commercial and Labour Law. I am happy to say that these two were complimented with my practice in Family law.

Family Law has always been my passion and I practice with passion, diligence and compassion in divorce matters, maintenance matters, and the resultant commercial aspects of dividing estates. It is my passion to gather the necessary information and  to apply and calculate the  distribution of estates according to  ante-nuptial contracts as well as  distribution of the assets of a joint estate.

I work closely with social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists,  auditors and other experts in their fields in getting the best advice for my clients.

I have been involved in several children’s court cases, adoptions, custody, and special needs children’s cases.

I have been doing this work for 31 years. I am an expert in the field and the other attorneys at my office all specialize in Commercial and Family law.
