Real Estate

We are here to help you every step of the way, from your first instructions throughout the purchase process and beyond. You will find our team dealing with the property transfer comprehensive, efficient and trustworthy, assisting you throughout the entire process.

In a market saturated by bulk conveyancing firms, we believe that there is no such thing as a generic sale or purchase, or indeed a generic client. We know that our client's property assets need to be handled with care and they expect to be fully informed of the transaction proces. We also believe that clients should be able to speak directly to their lawyer and not to a para-legal because the lawyer is always busy.

Residential Property transactions at our firm means more than just buying and selling house. You can expect a full range of property services from sales and purchases right through to post divorce asset distribution  and probate sales.

We are sensitive to your needs and always tailor our approach to meet your requirements. Whether you are selling, gifting, buying, protecting equity, releasing it or just regsitering your property for the first time, we can help you.

We will take the stress of all your property transactions in and around the Durban area.

Criminal Defense

We handle everything from disputes with the Receiver of Revenue to more intense criminal matters such as charges relating to murder. We have a team of specialist Advocates who can be engaged at negotiated fees should the matter be sufficiently complex.

We have many years of experience of dealing with drunk driving cases and ensuring that first offenders receive lenient sentences without their driving licences being suspended.

We have a good relationship with prosecutors in most of the courts in and around Durban.

Not everyone who has been accused of a crime is guilty of comitting the crime. We can make a fair assessment of your case at no cost to you.

The best legal advise at the outset will determine the path for you to choose.

We represent clients in most criminal courts in Durban and all other areas of the country. If we cannot represent you at a specific court then we will find you the most competent lawyer in that area and will even negotiate a good fee rate for you.

So if you have a criminal matter including bail applications then give our offices a call for the best legal representation in this area of law.
