Good move, Mia Miga 👏 — getting a few quotes will help you compare fairly and see who takes you seriously. Here’s a short, clear message you can send to each lawyer (works perfectly by email or WhatsApp): --- Subject: Request for Quote – Cease & Desist + Harassment My name is . I’d like to request a quotation for legal assistance regarding a harassment and defamation matter. I require a consultation and the drafting of a combined cease-and-desist and harassment letter to be sent to the individuals involved. Could you please confirm: 1. Your consultation fee, 2.

I am seeking legal assistance regarding an attempted and, in my view, unlawful termination of my month-to-month residential lease at The Atlanta Amberfield City. The landlord has issued a termination notice effective 30 November , allegedly due to repeated fines for supposed breaches of the estate’s conduct rules. I have disputed these fines in writing, as they are unsupported by evidence and procedurally defective. Despite my formal objections and reliance on the lease’s 20-business-day remedy clause (Clause 23.2), the landlord refused to engage further, stated they “do not intend to prove their case,” and proceeded to charge fines to my rental account before the dispute was resolved. I now require legal guidance on challenging the validity of the termination, recovering any wrongful charges, and ensuring compliance with the Rental Housing Act and Consumer Protection Act.

Good day, I would like to ask for help in taking legal action against a firm that did not provide wise counsel when we tried to get legal services. My son had a Permanent Residence Permit declined by the Department of Home Affairs last year. The decision was signed by the DG on 09 October and noted on the outcome collection on 22 October . Through a referral, we got to the Banda Law Firm in Rivonia, Johannesburg, on 24 October . The reasons for the rejections were: “According to our assessment, your father entered into a marriage of convenience with a South African citizen for the purpose of obtaining permanent residence in South Africa. Your application is premised on your father’s status as a naturalised South African citizen. Your father obtained his permanent residence and naturalisation status under questionable circumstances which therefore renders his status doubtful. In addition, it was discovered that your alleged parent, Edmore , did not indicate or mention you as being his child on his original application for Permanent Residence; therefore, the birth certificate as submitted in support of your application is questionable. You, therefore, do not qualify for permanent residence in terms of Section 27(g) of the Immigration Act. You may, within 10 working days from the date of receipt of this notice, make written representations for a review or appeal of the decision to the Director General through www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica.” The detailed brief of the entire story is provided in the attached document.
The IO is colluding with the state prosecutors (District and Regional Court prosecutors) and are refusing to give us a CCTV footage for the crime scene. District Court prosecutor favored the IO and allowed the case to move over to Regional Court with missing evidence (CCTV footage). The Regional Court prosecutor has allowed a pre-trial to be conducted with missing evidence (CCTV footage. There was an arrangement for the IO to privately hand the CCTV footage over to our previous attorney, which I strongly believe that it will never happen since this footage was downloaded from the source on a day after the incident, but the IO failed to furnish the court and the defence with that on these due dates: 11 Dec , 18 Dec , 23 Dec , 30 Jan , 20 Feb , 07 March , 04 April , 08 May , 23 May , 23 July , 21 Aug , 16 Sept , 23 Sept and 14 October . It has transpired that the memory stick that was handed over to the Regional Court prosecutor by the IO is blank and has 0 bytes of information inside it. However, the IO received a CD ROM containing the entire footage from the CCTV company, and decided to copy a small portion of the CD ROM that suites him and presented that to the Regional Court prosecutor and failed to provide the same to us, the defence. Now that there is something fishy about the information/ evidence contained in the ORIGINAL CD ROM from the CCTV company, the Regional Court prosecutor is now siding with the IO and telling us that he will not be using the CCTV footage for trial, but we, the defence want it so that can check what is contained in it, and our previous attorney who colluded with the IO and the Regional Court prosecutor, while noticing that I was late on the 14th of October, since I am doing a watching brief for my nephew, decide to allow the Regional Court prosecutor to pre-trial my nephew with pending CCTV footage evidence (Pending since the 11th of Dec ). Our previous attorney failed to deliver what we agreed on, and that was to request the Magistrate to dismiss the case since the state has been wasting our time and money on attorney costs while making us wait for the CCTV camera footage. Since, I having noticed that our previous attorney would later lie and state that he did receive the footage and he is happy with it in a tampered with condition, I did not trust him anymore and requested him to withdraw. So, I hereby need an honest and trustworthy attorney who will do his proper due diligence and not collude with anyone from our opposition.
