Finding a Divorce Lawyer in South Africa

Divorce can be an incredibly daunting process for individuals and family units as a whole. This is why so many individuals going through the dissolution of marriage seek the advice and services of trained legal professionals. Divorce Lawyers can support you in navigating the intricacies of the legal system and ensure that you come out of the process with the best possible outcome. This can diminish stress and make you feel more empowered through an otherwise difficult situation.

When searching for an attorney, consider the following points:

• Find an attorney who specialises in divorce: One of the first things you should do when looking for a lawyer is find a firm that specialises in divorce and family law. This will ensure that you are in capable hands and that your attorney has extensive experience in the field. At Riëtte Oosthuizen Attorneys, we have over two decades of experience in the area, ensuring that we can offer all clients specialised legal support.
• Chat with friends, family, or colleagues about their experiences: Another way to find the best lawyer is to speak with people you know will share their personal experiences and even referrals. Word of mouth can be one of the best ways to find a stellar attorney who puts the client first.
• Read testimonials online: Once you’ve got a name or two, read some testimonials online. These unbiased reviews will give you a better understanding of your chosen firm and unbiased client experiences. Prospective clients should always do a quick online search of their chosen firm for this reason.
• Arrange an initial consult: Before hiring a lawyer to support you through your divorce, it is advisable to arrange an initial consult. Here you will discuss your case in detail, payment structures, and expectations around communication. At this meeting, you can ask your attorney several essential questions, including “How will billing be structured?”, “How often will we communicate and/or meet?”, “What challenges do you foresee with my case?”
