Stellenbosch Municipal Court

When choosing an attorney, watch for three things: whether they ask detailed questions about your specific facts before giving answers, whether they explain what your options actually cost—not just the best-case outcome but the realistic downside—and whether they've handled cases like yours before or are learning on your bill. Some attorneys rush to court; good ones exhaust cheaper alternatives first. In conveyancing, experience means spotting title problems that hold up transfers. In family law, it means knowing which courts handle what matters and which judges have particular views. Employment law requires understanding the Labour Relations Act well enough to spot whether you actually have grounds or just grievance. Listen for the attorney who says "this is complicated and here's why" rather than one who makes everything sound simple. Ask for references. Call the Law Society if something feels wrong.
