We handle a wide range of legal matters including corporate law, civil litigation, real estate transactions, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, and immigration. Our diverse team allows us to provide comprehensive services across multiple practice areas.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
We offer a free initial consultation for most legal matters. This allows us to understand your situation, provide preliminary guidance, and determine how we can best assist you — with no obligation to proceed.
How are your legal fees structured?
Our fee structure varies depending on the type of case. We offer hourly rates, flat fees, and contingency arrangements. During your initial consultation, we will provide a clear explanation of all costs.
How long will my case take to resolve?
Timelines vary significantly depending on case complexity, cooperation of all parties, and court schedules. During your consultation, we can provide an estimated timeline based on similar cases we have handled.
Will I work directly with a partner or senior attorney?
Yes. At Phaswana & Thopola, every client works directly with an experienced attorney who oversees their case. While associates may assist, a senior attorney is always involved in strategy and key decisions.
What should I bring to my initial consultation?
Please bring any relevant documents — contracts, correspondence, court documents, or related paperwork. A timeline of events and a list of questions you want answered can also be very helpful.
How do I stay updated on my case progress?
We provide regular updates via your preferred communication method (email, phone, or secure client portal). Your attorney is always available to answer questions and we schedule periodic case review meetings.
