Our fee structure

  • During the initial consultation we will determine the nature of your problem, see whether we can help you and, if so, at what cost
  • We are more than happy to accommodate you by accepting reasonable monthly installments or payment via credit card
  • If you need financial assistance to pay our fees, CredAssist (Pty) Ltd will fund your legal costs and allow you to pay over an extended period (6 to 48 months - and up to 60 months for FNB clients) and pay us directly. This is for a divorce, criminal case, civil case, labour case or any other form of legal work. This is possible if you qualify for financial assistance under the National Credit Act.

  • Our fees are exclusive of VAT and do not include disbursements that we lay out on your behalf
  • We would require you to sign our standard fee agreement so that the scope of the work, the method of calculating the fee and the payment terms are in writing

To assure satisfaction we:

  • Promise an honest and frank assessment of your case
  • Set expectations with you up front (what you expect and the likelihood of achieving it)
  • Define the scope of our mandate
  • Determine what features or services are important to you
  • Offer alternative billing arrangements such as 'value billing' where our fees are based upon the value of the work performed rather than the number of hours worked.
