Lawyer fees in South Africa can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the geographical location. Lawyers may charge an hourly rate, a fixed fee for specific services, or a contingency fee based on the outcome of the case. It's important to discuss and understand the fee structure during the initial consultation.
In South Africa, lawyers specialize in various fields such as family law, criminal law, corporate law, intellectual property, and more. The nature of your legal issue will determine the type of lawyer you should seek. For instance, for divorce or custody issues, a family lawyer is appropriate, while business contracts or company disputes would require a corporate lawyer.
During an initial consultation, you should expect to discuss the details of your legal issue, the potential approaches to handling your case, the likelihood of success, and the costs involved. This is also an opportunity for you to assess the lawyer’s expertise, communication style, and whether they seem like a good fit for your needs.
To prepare for a meeting with a lawyer, gather all relevant documents and any evidence related to your case. Prepare a list of questions you have about your case or legal process, and think about your goals or desired outcomes. Being well-prepared can help you get the most out of the consultation and enable the lawyer to understand your case better.
I purchased a house in Jan . The agreement according to the OTP is that the transfer would be done by the 30th April due to me having an active lease elsewhere which ends at the same time. I've paid all registration and bond costs already. Two weeks ago, I get a call from the agent telling me that she has some bad news which is that the sellers new purchase didn't go as planned. When I asked what that meant for me she started to beat around the bush and not say anything. I then called her senior who advised me that they just wanted to check because sometimes there can be some arrangement made and the transfer postponed on mutual agreement to which i maintained that I do not have anywhere else to go and therefore cannot agree. Now, the transfer attorneys and agents work for the same group, even in the same building and are also both attending to the sellers new purchase. The transfer attorneys then sent a mail more than 1 week ago saying they need to need to request a new updated rates clearance. They did this in March also and it took them 48hr to receive. Today I get another mail saying they are not still waiting and they will lodge once they receive it. Given the timeframe and start of this whole purchase being months ago, they had enough time to plan for this. It now seems it is being deliberately delayed by the agents and TAs to keep their other customer happy. I now know that the transfer won't complete in time (plus all the public holidays) which puts me and my family in a really tough situation. I'd like an to issue a letter of demand as a first step due to the matter discussed above, thereafter potentially cancel and sue for full damages

We have appeared in Westgate Court for 3 appearances in Johannesburg CBD for assault of a minor. We would like to avoid trial. And we want to change our current attorney. The complainant has withdrawn their statement. Prosecution would like Senior Prosecution to appear in the next appearance to decide if case should go to trial.

I the unemployed South African Citizen once Applied and Approved during February for Legal Aid Assistance, to enforce dated 29 January PFA Adjudicator Determination Order but the Assigned Attorney left hanging after dated 05 May Consultation, when supposed to sign Affidavit to file with the High Court.

I lodged a complaint with the LPC and they have responded with a notice to suspend the attorney and advised me to get legal advice from an attorney of my choice on the way forward and claiming of the funds with LPFF.
On 29th November , while on my lunch break, I was detained by Checkers Harvest Place security for allegedly shoplifting a razor blade and replacement blades. They stopped me 2 steps outside the store and demanded a bag search. I immediately realized my error. I had gone into the store for something to eat and drink and while there, realized I needed a new razor as I had a company function in a few days. I went to the aisle without a basket but with my work backpack on my back. I picked out a razor and blades and put them into my bag, with the intent of taking them out when paying at the till. Here is the rub, I am very clumsy so I'll often walk down shopping aisles looking around me to make sure I don't walk into anyone - this was not seen that way on the footage of the store. They are saying that I intentionally put the items in my bag and did not intend to pay for them. I did intend to pay. I was also very distracted that day as it was our Black Friday at work and I was worried about my mother at home who had had major back surgery in October . I got distracted on the way to the till and decided to pay with my phone instead of my card (which would have led me to open my bag and see the items and remember them). When I was stopped by security, I was initially confused but when they asked to look in my bag, I remembered the items and realized my mistake. I took out the razor and blades and offered it back to the security - because my colleague was alone in the store and I had to get back - but they refused and detained me. While handcuffed in the office, I also asked for the Manager of the store and offered to pay for the items but again, he refused. I was arrested by Kempton Park police and taken in on shoplifting charges. Made bail and appeared in court on Monday December 2nd . My case was postponed to 10 April and then again to 13th June as my lawyer wanted to apply for Diversion. On 13 June the representation for withdrawal and Diversion was rejected by the Senior Prosecutor as they truly think I took the items intentionally. Now my lawyer is saying that the best course of action is to go to trial because going through the DPP for another withdrawal will take a long time and even more appearances (as if a trial won't...?) I would just like someone to give me non-vague advise as I feel that I have truly learned my lesson of absentmindedness and that I have already paid the value of the items in attorneys fees 7 times over. I am not someone who would risk her job (which I did in fact lose due to everything) on something like a razor blade.
