We are all asked this question in our formative years: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and from the age of 9 years old, I confidently answered “a lawyer”. There was no particular reason for this answer and to this day I am still the only person in our family to practice Law. It was almost instinctive. I can definitely say that there is not another industry that I would rather be in.
I completed my LL.B degree in 2006 at the University of Johannesburg, was admitted as an attorney, notary and conveyancer in 2009 and opened LG Gouveia Attorneys in April 2009. LG Gouveia Attorney has grown and developed into a business that my team and I can be proud of. We practice out of the Johannesburg South area of Mulbarton.
Our firm focuses on a broad spectrum of legal issues; however we are most passionate about conveyancing (property law), estate planning, Antenuptial contracts, family law, divorces and litigation.
As a firm we have managed to establish a strong team with a solid foundation. We try to go that extra mile for every one of our clients. Our mission statement is to always have the vision to grow and adjust and to work with honesty, integrity and fairness. We understand that the way we interact with people and our community ultimately has a direct influence on our business. People and our community matter to us. This is one of the reasons that we endeavour to make a difference in our community. Our firm either gets involved with or initiates campaigns to assist the less fortunate and people in need. The latest projects we have been involved is are; a drive for the Door of Hope; Santa Shoe Box Project; Meals on Wheels for the elderly; we have co-sponsored a Mrs. South Africa 2021 Semi-finalist (which also provides the platform to help with their chosen charities) and a 2021 Winter drive where we donated to our local community and to a foundation against women and children abuse.
LG Gouveia Attorneys tries to maintain a high level of professionalism in everything we do and we listen to our clients, we understand that in most instances when you are consulting with us, you are in need of help and we are here to assist where we can.
I am passionate about what I do and the law. The constant changes and developments in the law makes us realize this is a living creature that needs to be consistently reviewed and developed to best cater for new eras. There is no bigger satisfaction, in my profession when we are able to assist a client and resolve their problems.
