I had a very positive experience with SD Law, specifically Cronje and Tristan who handled my matter. They handled my eviction matter with professionalism from start to finish. Every step of the process was followed carefully, and I was kept updated throughout, which gave me peace of mind. I would gladly recommend their services to anyone needing reliable legal support.

Layla Patel handled my divorce with a high level of care and professionalism. She was genuinely empathetic to what I was going through, but that never got in the way of sharp, effective negotiation. She consistently pushed things forward while keeping me in the loop every step of the way. Her communication was fast and clear throughout, which made an incredibly stressful process feel manageable. I'd highly recommend her and the team at Simon Dippenaar & Associates to anyone going through something similar.

Cronje is well grounded in legal precepts and principles. He has a razor-sharp legal mind and communicates his advice with absolute clarity. More than this, he has keen insight into the practicalities, of implementing it. I achieved my intended outcome by following his guidance. I approached him about Property Law issues, although he practises law across the board. I will approach him in future for any other legal services, and recommend him very highly for his professionalism, sound advice, and quick turnaround times.

I was faced with a debt of R131000.00 that was for back billing of unpaid rates(23 years worth) by the Ethekwini Municipality. It was by chance that I came across SD Law on Google and nervously reached out to them.
Their response was shockingly quick and crammed with helpful advice, and I got this without paying a cent. Had I been on a sound financial footing, I would not hesitate to engage their services. Thank you SD law(Cronje Oosthuizen)-I am sure many clients will benefit from your humanity. Stay blessed!

I cannot recommend Simon Dippenaar & Associates Law Firm highly enough. From the very first meeting, their team demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism, compassion, and genuine empathy.

What truly sets this firm apart is their responsiveness and personalised approach. Cronje Oosthuizen handled a daunting eviction process with such confidence and reassurance that I immediately felt at ease. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by legal complexities, I felt informed, supported, and empowered to move forward.

The clarity, guidance, and constant support I received turned what could have been an incredibly stressful journey into one filled with hope and determination. Cronje’s unwavering dedication and commitment ultimately led to a highly satisfactory resolution to my case, and for that I am sincerely grateful.

If you are searching for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly client-focused legal team, I wholeheartedly recommend Simon Dippenaar & Associates Law Firm.

10 out of 10 — exceptional service, outstanding support, and a team that genuinely cares about their clients.

Cronje helped me with a residential property dispute I had with tenants in Cape Town. He was extremely prompt in responding to my queries, very thorough and very courteous. The SD operating model seems geared to resolving client disputes as efficiently as possible and not in dragging out billable hours. Pricing and procedures were very transparent. Cronje was always honest about the path of least resistance and as a result, my matter was resolved fairly quickly and did not require litigation. I also felt that he cared about my personal wellbeing throughout the dispute which was welcome knowing how challenging legal experiences can be.

Layla is one of the kindest and most understanding attorneys I have ever dealt with. She is very compassionate and makes sure to understand her clients emotional, mental and physical needs she has helped put my mind at ease and with her help and guidance, especially considering I am halfway around the Earth, she has still managed to maintain clear guidance and realistic expectation management seems to be a very strong aspect of her personality. I’m sure that if anybody will be able to facilitate my divorce, Layla will definitely be the one to do it, while ensuring I don’t have a mental breakdown. If you ever need help in South Africa or internationally, I would highly recommend SD law. My Brief encounters with her colleagues were equally pleasant and supportive.

I am grateful to the attorneys at Simon Dippenaar & Associates for their swift and professional service. I encountered a tenant at my property who defaulted on rent and showed intentions of squatting. Tristan and Cronje from SDLaw proficiently handled the mediation process which resulted in the tenant leaving and saving me from further financial loss. I highly recommend the firm to any landlord who finds themselves in my situation.

I heard back from them quickly after sending my initial message. What stood out was how much time they took to listen. I never felt rushed while explaining my circumstances. We had a proper, in-depth conversation about what was happening, and they were very straightforward about the process. Their advice was to patiently gather the required documentation first, and then reconnect to see how they could specifically assist me. I valued their honesty and lack of pressure.

We’ve worked with the team at SD Law for a while now and are always impressed by how professional and efficient they are. Marisa has been a lifesaver with our liquor license applications. She is incredibly responsive and helpful in every aspect. We also want to thank Cronje for stepping in to assist with an urgent consultancy case at a moment's notice. It’s been such a positive experience, and we will definitely continue working with them!

Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. law firm handled our eviction proceedings and we were assisted by attorney Cronje Oosthuizen at the law firm. Cronje was professional in his conduct, kept us up to date and abreast of all procedures, and what we could expect, explained in detail the process and expectations. Cronje advised us what we can do and what we can't do, he kept reassuring us that if we follow through with the legal route we would eventually get our house back.

We have been held at ransom by our tenant for 3 years, we felt we couldn't get anywhere with him, constant lies, manipulation and non-payment where we eventually had to turn to legal counsel to resolve our case, we tried everything ourselves and got nowhere. After getting SD Law involved, we did everything by the book, and eventually after 1 long year of court hearings, and affidavits and appearances TODAY we received our 'Eviction Granted' order by the High Court in Cape Town. We feel relieved and a huge burden has been lifted, within the next month, we will get our house back and can move on with our lives.

I was assisted by Jaylee Feldman and Mehra Amiri at SD Law Cape Town during my divorce, and I am grateful for their professionalism and support throughout a very challenging process.

Jaylee provided clear, pragmatic legal guidance and handled the matter with calm, confidence, and integrity. She was responsive, well prepared, and able to explain complex issues in a way that made the process easier to navigate.

Mehra was consistently efficient, detail-oriented, and dependable. Her follow-ups, accuracy, and behind-the-scenes support played an important role in keeping everything on track.

Together, they made a difficult experience far more manageable. I would confidently recommend them to anyone needing family law assistance.

I contacted SD Law from the Uk to request assistance in an urgent matter with my divorce proceedings and thier response and subsequent actions were exemplary.
The matter was time sensitive, there was also the SA judicial break looming and the actions required where in a different province and as such urgency and remote coordination within SA was required, which is not always easy or straight forward.
The team did not hesitate and accommodated as quickly as they could, not only in liaising with me but in arranging urgent remote actions that resulted in successful outcomes in all respects.
I would expect a law firm to be able to action legal requests however it was the urgency, the clear communication and the offer of monitoring these remote activities while on scheduled holiday breaks that really impressed me, it was not necessary but done never the less. This is what I call excellent service and if I need any further local SA assistance I will use SD Law again and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Highly Recommended – Professional, Strategic, and Compassionate Representation

We moved our brother’s matter to Simon Dippenaar & Associates (SDA) midway through his divorce after our previous firm closed their litigation department. At that stage, despite serious concerns including ongoing emotional and physical abuse (which resulted in an interim protection order in his favour), the other side seemed to have the upper hand.

From the moment Mehra and her candidate attorney Jaylee took over, the difference was immediate. They reviewed the file thoroughly, cut straight to the key issues, and set out a clear legal strategy with transparent cost scenarios for both contested and uncontested paths. Their early correspondence with the other side was firm, precise, and highlighted the fundamental weaknesses in the opposing case – shifting negotiations back onto a fair and rational footing.

This was not a straightforward divorce. There were several add-ons, including a Rule 58 appeal, an interim protection order, and the complexities of assisting a client with unique needs. Mehra and Jaylee navigated all of this with real skill, professionalism, and importantly, a human touch. Communication was always clear and respectful, and they made an extremely difficult process far more manageable.

In the end, they secured a fair and satisfactory settlement, and looking back, we believe the entire process might have been smoother and quicker had we engaged SDA from the outset.

I would have no hesitation recommending SDA, and especially the Mehra / Jaylee team, to anyone needing strong, strategic, and compassionate family-law representation.

Thank you both for the outcome you achieved and the way you conducted yourselves throughout.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Blessing – Layla Patel - The Lawyer Who Changed Everything

Layla was truly the answer to my prayers. Not only is she an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced lawyer who knows every process inside and out, but she also does her homework thoroughly and genuinely cares about her clients. She’s deeply invested, tailoring her approach to get the absolute best outcome for you.

But for me, Layla was so much more than just my lawyer — she was my voice, my shield, and often, my therapist too. She never once got tired of listening or showing compassion, even when things got tough. She devoted more than her time; she gave her heart and energy to my case, putting herself in my and my children’s shoes, and standing beside me to fight for what’s right and fair.

For every moment I felt hopeless, Layla was there with a calm plan, a smarter approach, and an even better outcome. She made me feel worthy of fighting back, and for the first time in years, I felt confident and protected.

Layla didn’t just help me legally — she helped me rebuild my strength and sense of self. She transformed not only my case but me as a person. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs a lawyer who truly cares and fights for you like family.

I will forever be grateful to Layla for everything she has done for me and my children. Simon Dippenaar & Associates are truly blessed to have someone of her calibre on their team — a lawyer who not only masters the law but changes lives with her compassion, dedication, and heart.

I highly recommend law firm Simon Dippenaar Ltd to help with your eviction issues. My first lawyer was not helping with my difficult situation and luckily I moved to SDL and Cronje agreed to take my case. Within a few months we had made such good progress with PIE we had court dates and Cronje built such a good case the illegal occupants moved out just before our final court appearance when it didn't look good for me at all. Cronje remained positive and supportive and helped me adhere strictly to the PIE process. He constantly advised and kept me updated on what was happening, my rights as the home owner and the correct actions to take. He never made me feel foolish and he was kind to me. Cronje helped get me my house back within months and I am so grateful. I must also mention Tristan, who supported me well when Cronje was on leave. I highly recommend SDL and the wonderful lawyers who know the complicated eviction law so well. Thank you Cronje - I give you full marks.

I then searched the web and found SD Law who I contacted and Cronje was assigned to me, all I can say is what a pleasure working with him!
He has super knowledge in this field and works with high level of professionalism and dedication.
An eviction court order was granted- I am super thankful and glad they handled my case!

Rayaad and Layla were absolutely incredible to work with. Not only are they brilliant attorneys with deep knowledge and experience, but they are also exceptional human beings. They handled a very difficult situation with such ease, professionalism, and grace making what was a very difficult and stressful process feel manageable and clear.

What truly sets them apart, though, is their compassion and genuine care on a personal level, which is something you don’t come across often. I have endless respect for both of them, and it’s with absolute pleasure that I recommend their services to anyone in need of legal support.

Thank you again, Rayaad and Layla. I’m deeply grateful.

Having a legal firm that displays empathy, and compassion is fundamental in ensuring a positive client experience, even during the most challenging times. As a visually impaired individual who has endured a traumatic ordeal with profound consequences on both my personal and professional life, finding genuine support was crucial.

Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. has not only demonstrated a deep sense of empathy and understanding but also a steadfast, no-nonsense approach to justice. In just two consultations, I already feel reassured that I have a dedicated legal team in my corner. Despite the difficulties of this past year, my family and I now have renewed hope that justice will prevail.

What stands out most is how this firm's compassion translates into action—methodically gathering evidence and tirelessly working to expose the injustices I have faced. If you are going through a tough time and seeking legal representation that truly cares, I highly recommend Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. Their commitment to justice, combined with their empathy and determination, makes them a legal team you can trust.

Cronje was very professional in his approach and all the stages were outlined in order to do everything correctly from a legal point of view. All the legal documents and court appearances were taken care of, and the eventual outcome was positive.

The key take away is that prevention is better than cure. It is a costly and stressful experience, which is better avoided. The legal system appears to be skewed in favour of tenants - they can drag it out at the owner's cost with little consequence on their part. Beware!

Exceptional Service from (SD LAW Attorney's – Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc.)

I recently had the pleasure of working with (SD LAW Attorney's – Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc.) and their firm during a challenging eviction process involving a non-paying tenant. I was assisted by Mr. Cronje Oosthuizen and Ms. Jaylee Feldman. Throughout the whole process, they demonstrated great professionalism, expertise, and empathy. They understood how traumatizing the whole experience was to me and have placed great focus on putting my mind at ease.

Navigating the legal aspects of an eviction can be stressful and emotionally taxing, but Cronje and Jaylee made the entire process as smooth and efficient as possible. A financial plan was drafted for me at all legal cost were kept to a minimum. I was also advised on how to keep the process as short as possible, as to prevent mounting legal costs. All my legal fees were kept to quotations that was given and I was advised on how to wrap the whole process up speedily.

They were always clear and concise in explaining the steps involved, ensuring I was fully informed at every stage and kept to their timeframes. They understood that I did not understand the process and was and had anticipated all possible questions that I might have had. At the end of the first consultation I only had a few questions to ask. Their knowledge of tenant-landlord law was evident, and they handled the case with precision, adhering to all legal requirements while maintaining a fair and ethical approach. They have also reminded me of what my obligations were towards to tenant as to not derail the whole process and prevented me from infringing on their rights. The have kept me informed every step of the way and I did not have to worry about the progress. Every time I was contacted, I knew that I was going to receive further update and tangible progress regarding my matter.

What stood out the most was their empathy. They understood the personal and financial strain this situation had caused and treated me with respect and compassion throughout. The first eviction notice was granted on my birthday in October 2024 and it was the best present I ever received in my life. Cronje and Jaylee were almost last on the court role but they succeeded through a very tough day. The tenant appealed, but they have successfully secured my final eviction order for the tenant to vacate my property by the end of November 2024, a mere 30 days after his appeal. I was shocked and could not believe how quick they have rapped the whole process. They were firm and strategic in advocating for my rights as a property owner, ensuring a successful resolution. I still cant believe how speedily they have rapped up the process. My faith has been restored.

The firm's communication was exceptional—they were always available to answer my questions and provided timely updates, which gave me peace of mind during this process. Thanks to their diligence and expertise, the matter was resolved quickly, and I was able to regain control of my property on 01 December 2024. The best part was that I did not have attend court at all throughout the whole process. All my consultations were done telephonically and electronically.

I highly recommend (SD LAW Attorney's – Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc.) and their team to anyone in need of legal assistance in similar matters. Their professionalism, dedication, and client-focused approach make them an outstanding choice for any landlord seeking effective legal representation. I would also use them for any other legal assistance I might have.

Cronje and Jaylee, thank you once again for restoring my peace of mind. I wish you a great festive season and happy new year 2025. Thanks to you and your great team I will have a great festive period too.

Warm regards.

She was knowledgeable in this field of law. Nia was prompt and kept me informed as the legal process progressed. Nia ensured that the correct outcomes were achieved.

2 years ago I approached SD Law in the hopes that they would be able to help me obtain a divorce. My now ex wife and I separated in 2018 and she relocated back to China, since then I had been trying to start the divorce process but I was unable to because I could not find a law firm that was able to help me with such a complicated divorce.

Mehra Amiri was a saving grace in this very long and very expensive process! Her knowledge on family law, her patience, compassion and the way she always reassured me that I would get this divorce was but a few of the qualities that make her such a brilliant attorney to have during such a difficult process.

In all honesty I never thought I would obtain this divorce, I was always disheartened by other law firms reminding me that my case was too complicated with a spouse that I was no longer in contact with, that was opposing the divorce and living outside of RSA.
Approaching SD Law was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made.

THANK YOU MEHRA AND SD LAW!!

Cronje and the SD Law team were invaluable in assisting me with a difficult eviction matter concerning a tenant that was asked to vacate several times but obstinately stayed without paying the rent for several months. Cronje and team expertly handled each step with sensitivity, transparency and care, finding clever solutions to some non-standard geographical and legal challenges that presented themselves along the way. After following the eviction process we obtained a court eviction order finalising the matter approximately 6 months ahead of the expected schedule, delivering much needed certainty. I cannot recommend Cronje and the SD Law team enough. They are expertly positioned to help you with any difficult tenancy issues you may have, irrespective of your geographical location.

We approached Cronje Oosthuizen at Simon Dippenaar & Associates (Cape Town) as we had a serious problem with an extremely difficult long term tenant.
At the initial meeting Cronje listened carefully and took notes and gave good advice on the legal way forward.
At the Pre Court Mediation Cronje was able to negotiate an unopposed eviction order. This gave a final date of eviction thus saving us further Court proceedings and it was compassionate to our tenants with a minor child.
Cronje was very professional and diligent and was able to bring this difficult eviction to a conclusion sooner than we had anticipated.
After our experience with Cronje we can really recommend Simon Dippenaar & Associates for their assistance with any legal matters.

I am going through a difficult and messy divorce and I found myself at the point where I didn't even feel like going on anymore and I had no clue as to what I should do. There was something I found very astonishing though, I obviously by this point had phoned a couple of law firms for assistance and upon phoning them the first thing that gets said to me over there phone is; this is what I cost, this is how I work, and I want my payment up front- between the "I this" and "I that" I was left thinking where would assisting me fit in. Then when Ms Heike Marais from Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. contacted me I realized that there are very few people in this world that truly care and have a passion for what they do for a living because regardless of my circumstances and from the moment I answered that phone call I experienced an extremely high standard of professionalism and got treated with respect but at the same time I could hear that they genuinely care. I was listened to and I was given not only good advice but today looking back I can say I was given the best advice. I also not for a single moment got treated like I'm just another case but always even above receiving the best legal advice got spoken to as a person who's best interests they genuinely care about. Throughout the divorce up until today despite the busy schedules (the busy schedules being understandable as this is the result of Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. being one of the most highly capable law firms and probably one of the best) I can at any time of the day call or even send a message seeking assistance or legal advice and without failing Simon Dippenaar & Associates have been and are there for me every step of the way. In the beginning when phoning from one law firm to the next seeking assistance and then receiving the disappointing responses I did obviously not one of them could have known who this specific divorce case involves but as my engagement, marriage, and the asking for a divorce has been in the newspapers and magazines I think had they known who this divorce case involves then maybe their attitudes and responses might have been slightly different. It was extremely refreshing though to see that at Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. regardless of who you are and despite of your circumstances at hand you will find what I found, this was the only law firm out of the many I contacted that was willing to listen and eager to jump in and help and they themselves at first just like the other law firms had no idea who this divorce case involved so it is clear as day that at Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. their passion and love for law lie in their hearts. So as for my review when it comes to Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. especially Ms Heike Marais- I can assure you that there is no need to look any further if you are seeking a law firm with attorneys that are equipped with an endless wealth of knowledge and experience, attorneys that you can rely on, attorneys which you are really able to trust, attorneys that one can count on that will represent you well, and attorneys who genuinely care and put your best interests first. I recommend Simon Dippenaar & Associates Inc. only!!!

I have been going through hell with a tenant turned squatter in my Hout Bay home. I am abroad and trusted her—an ex client of mine and rental agent—to take care of my place. Not only did she decide to not pay rent as soon as she moved in but she disregarded every clause in our fixed term lease. It took a few months to understand that her volatile messages, that went from one day thanking me for the magical space to the next day abusing me for everything that was wrong with her life, indicated someone mentally unwell. Instead of leaving or paying rent, she tried to justify herself with often vicious threats about fabricated grievances and illness. She even re-homed my cat to an undisclosed location. I didn’t know where to turn. I was completely overwhelmed.
The tenant in a studio on the same property sent me the number for SD Law. I was wary at first because of this woman’s vicious attacks, so it took me another few weeks to fully recognise that this was not a rational woman and that none of my attempts for peaceful resolution were going to work for me. I made contact with SD Law, got a response within the day and a WhatsApp consultation shortly thereafter with a kind, courteous, professional young lawyer, Cronje. His considered and fastidious manner in which he ran through all the relevant aspects of my case, and how to resolve it effectively within the constraints of the South African legal system, reassured me and gave me clarity. I felt safe to fully hand this over to a competent team of professionals who, it appears, are the best in South Africa for evictions.
After already being financially crippled by the non-payment of rent, my next great concern was the legal fees. SD Law have a fee structure that benefits their clients in the sense that you only pay for the phase/s of the process I required. Cronje understood my financial strain and guided me in weighing up my options towards making a decision that expedited the case instead of dragging it through extended legal battle.
Through a series of excellent recommendations, a clear and firm legal notice, shielding me from further communication, managing the process efficiently, clearly and swiftly, he negotiated a date to vacate that brought the case to conclusion within the first phase, and saved me a lot of time and money in the long run. He even offered to assist in finding out where she took my cat.
I have a lot of work to do to restore my home and garden from the wreck she made of it but, had I not consulted with SD Law when I did, it would have become a whole lot worse.
I highly recommend SD Law. You will be heard, understood, counselled and relieved of the burden of navigating this alone.
10/10 on all counts.
Thank you!

There is a lot that is difficult about an 30yr marriage ending in divorce and, choosing an Attorney who is willing to truly hear your story and represent your needs accordingly, was my first difficulty. After meeting with Simon from SD Law, I was impressed by his sensitivity and kindness to help me understand the process ahead, which was immensely daunting. Mehra Amiri, an Associate Attorney at the firm, took on my case and has been representing me for the past 18 months. Her level of professionalism, empathy and efficiency has to be mentioned. She leaves no stone unturned and, since I live in Durban, she has handled my case remotely without me ever feeling like I have been left out on a limb. After a successful Rule 43 Application, which involved coordinating a Durban based Attorney and Advocate, I felt compelled to express my gratitude to Mehra and the team at SD Law, who all played a part. Thank you Mehra, for honouring and respecting my desire for an uncontested divorce and, for working tirelessly to negotiate a fair settlement on my behalf. While the tables have now turned due to circumstances beyond our control, I have such peace knowing that you will still do what’s required, for me to have a dignified divorce.

Mehra Amiri was very professional, and quick which made my divorce process smooth. This took a lot of pressure off me given everything I was going through at the time. Where there were hiccups along the way due to the family office losing documents etc. she followed up repeatedly until we managed to get the matter resolved. I was very pleased with her service and would highly recommend Mehra.

I reached out to SD Law for assistance with a non-paying residential tenant. While the process of recovering my property was long an arduous, SD law were efficient and professional throughout. They set my expectations at the start of this long and complicated procedure and then exceeded them.
They always explained in the sort of layman terms that I'd need to grasp what was required and remained proactive to the ensuing events.

Thank you Conje for all your (and your teams) excellent hard work.

I found myself in a really difficult position with a very rude tenant who breached my lease in every manner possible. After being messed around by other lawyers for a while I was referred to SD law. Cronje and the SD law team took my case and handled it quickly and efficiently.

They were available to answer my many questions and broke down the whole process of eviction every step of the way.

They were very upfront about all the costs involved and the risks that pertained to my case , which was very helpful in this difficult situation.

Thanks to the SD law teams thoroughnesses and highly efficient efforts I was able to get an eviction order and this tenant is no more .

Thanks to SD law. I would highly recommend them.

Having struggled for years against my ex husbands efforts to delay and complicate the process I reached out to them for support. Their expertise and commitment were evident from the beginning. Despite facing obstacles they were able to fast track the proceedings ensuring that my divorce was finalized in months, all without giving in to the unreasonable requests of the other party and prioritizing the safety of my daughter. I truly appreciate their professionalism, empathy and constant support during such a period. I wholeheartedly recommend SD Law to anyone seeking assistance. They truly go the extra mile to secure the best possible outcome, for their clients.

This is my second time reaching out to a lawyer, the first was for a custody matter in the High Court and it was Diane Smart. I won't drag her but I will say that I eventually ended up representing myself. Therefore I have a point of reference for comparison.
I can confidently and sincerely say that dealing with Simon Dippenaar and Associates Attorneys was a breeze. A pleasure. From my first Google search, they make their values, principles and services clear and easy to understand for everyone.
After first contact, I had my consultation less than a week later.
Rayaan was professional, patient and compassionate.
Our work is not concluded yet but so far I am happy with Mehra whom I liaised with initially, Rayaan and the firm in general.

What stood out for me on their website is that they are passionate about helping victims of narcissistic abuse. For this reason I didn't mind paying a bit more for consultation than what I was quoted by 2 other firms. And I don't regret it.

Thank you Mehra for putting up with my impatient ranting and thank you Rayaan for allowing me speak without interrupting me.
I feel confident that we will have a favourable outcome in the end.

I want to thank Mehra for all her time and patience while working on my case.

Divorce is a stressful life event, and almost always, it is challenging working with clients involved, especially in the beginning when the trauma still affects decision-making and keeps one from being level-headed.

Mehra was patient and advised me well throughout the process.

I recommend going to therapy immediately, even before reaching out to a lawyer. Lawyers are not therapists, though they unavoidably face much of the drama.

It will make lawyers' jobs so much easier if you see a therapist prior.

Mehra handled all the information well and wrote all the legal documents well, but you should always double-check documents yourself.

We're all human.

My case was particularly complex, a marriage registered in another country, and Mehra ensured to do thorough research to cover all bases. I could not have been in better hands.

Communication has been professional and quick on a level on par with my highest expectations.

I would use Mehra and SD Law again without a second thought.

Thank you very much!

Hello
My name is Bukiwe
I had a problem with a tenant whose contract was terminated because of non payment but still refused to move out of my house and making all kind of excuses so as not to move out. Me and my agent tried everything we could but without success. We finally approached the attorneys at Simon Dippenaar and they were more than willing to help. I submitted all the required documents and they managed to help me. The process would have been much quicker but we had to wait for the court to grant us the court date. The attorneys at SD law are the best at what they are doing. I highly recommend them to anyone who is going through the same problem.

I had the privilege of working with a lawyer named Rayaan Allom during a highly sensitive legal matter, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for his exceptional support and guidance throughout the process. From the very beginning, Mr. Allom demonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in my case.

Mr. Allom's profound expertise in the field of law was evident from our initial consultation. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my situation, asking pertinent questions, and actively listening to my concerns. His empathetic approach created an environment where I felt comfortable sharing sensitive information, allowing him to build a strong foundation for my case.

One of the standout qualities of Mr. Allom was his remarkable communication skills. He ensured that I was kept well-informed at each stage of the legal proceedings, promptly responding to my phone calls, emails, and any other queries I had. His ability to articulate complex legal concepts in a way that I could easily comprehend was truly remarkable and provided me with peace of mind and confidence throughout the process.

Throughout our collaboration, Mr. Allom demonstrated unwavering attention to detail. He meticulously reviewed every piece of evidence and documentation, leaving no stone unturned. His commitment to thoroughness, coupled with his extensive legal knowledge, helped uncover vital information that ultimately strengthened my case.

Mr. Allom displayed exceptional strategic thinking skills, developing a well-thought-out plan that maximized my chances of success. His expertise in navigating the legal landscape was evident when he advocated for my interests both inside and outside the courtroom. His persuasive arguments, backed by a comprehensive understanding of the law, greatly contributed to achieving a favorable outcome in my case.

Dealing with legal matters is often emotionally challenging, but throughout the process, Mr. Allom displayed unwavering empathy and provided invaluable support. He genuinely cared about my well-being and consistently went above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard, understood, and supported during this difficult time.

Working with Mr. Rayaan Allom has been an absolute privilege. His exceptional legal knowledge, remarkable communication skills, attention to detail, and empathetic approach made him an outstanding lawyer. I wholeheartedly placed my trust in his abilities and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I was referred to Cronje Oosthuizen within the company and am pleased to say that he successfully resolved the matter through pre-court actions with the tenant moving out. I appreciated the quick and attentive responses from Cronje with clear actions taken, good communication and regular follow up. I am pleased to recommend their services.

It was a pleasure dealing with SD Law, especially with Cronje and Rayaan. This firm has completely revolutionized the whole process of legal representation: no hidden costs, no ridiculous retainer fee charged upfront before my case was even looked at, total transparency and only straightforward, realistic answers. I paid for services rendered based on my individual situation and case. And I feel like I got everything they promised and MORE.

The friendly, personal touch that Cronje adds (with call-backs and follow-ups) makes a world of difference. This law firm really delivers on its statement of "highly personalised legal attention with commitment and discretion" and I wholeheartedly recommend them without any reservation.

Divorce proceedings can be daunting and extremely overwhelming especially when it’s uncharted territory - which was the case for me.

Not knowing where or how to proceed, a random search led me to SD Law. In hindsight I view it as divine intervention.

From the initial engagement to the final leg of the journey, I was met with professionalism, efficiency, transparency and most importantly the highest level of sensitivity and integrity. Though law is perceived as “black and white” this family law team did not only display a profound understanding of the law but also a deep appreciation and respect for the human element of the legal matter.

I would like to convey my deepest thanks to Mehra Amiri (Attorney at Law) for her exceptional approach and support throughout the process. These words most inadequately describes the ethics displayed. Nonetheless THANK YOU!

To the extended team, Nia Yu, thank you for your welcoming and warm presence.

Reputation is critical in my book therefore recommending SD Law is an emphatic yes!

I have an ongoing Magistrate's Court Matter in which there was conflicting advice from two Attorneys.
I contacted SD Law and Mr. Cronje Oosthuizen was extremely helpful in giving me certain law points and Court procedures to clarify.
Great service and comfort to get a professional opinion.
Thanks Cronje !
All the best !!

Cronje delivered fantastic service throughout a very daunting eviction process. Very professional. He was always very patient during explanations for a complex legal process. Regular feedback was provided with as much detail as possible. We were granted our eviction order at the High Court today, after a skillful and successful negotiation between him and his team, and the illegal occupiers. Well done Cronje! It was a pleasure working with you!

Cronje took his time guiding me through my first encounter with a forced eviction. He was incredibly attentive through the process and was very quick to communicate and check back with me whenever there were any actions in my camp. At no point did I feel I wasn't in good hands. Would definitely use his services again!

10 out of 10 would recommend.

This is the first time in over two decades of my existence to be involved with the law.

I was unsure of the process, and what to expect and do. Luckily for me, I came across SD Law Attorneys Firm. After speaking to Mehra I felt at ease.

The team is professional, efficient, consistent, and clear on all aspects of the case. They gave me a clear and broad picture of the process.

I’m in particular thankful to Mr. Rayaan. An experienced Lawyer but human at the core. Full of compassion and understanding.

Not only he represented me with the highest professionalism, but he also saved my marriage by providing my wife and me with advice that helped us realize no one is wrong or right. But working out differences and prioritizing communication and understanding is the way forward.

I highly recommend the Firm to anyone looking for the best outcome for their case.

Stop looking for a Law firm and contact them.

Excellent and professional service. SD Law managed the legal eviction of a tenant excellently and swiftly. Their staff members were responsive, arranging meetings very quickly after contracted, and responding always within less than a few hours to email or telephone queries. They were reassuring and professional, and moved the case along speedily, saving me a large amount of money by preventing a protected eviction process. Worth every cent.

I contacted SD Law for help getting an international divorce. I'm in Australia and my now ex-wife is in South Africa. I was very anxious about how this would work but Mehra (from SD Law) made it such a simple process! I always felt reassured and confident about what was happening and of a positive outcome. There was a small error made by the courts and Mehra handled everything really well and now I'm divorced. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and believe I was charged an appropriate amount. I completely recommend SD Law.

Fantastic service and incredibly helpful. I needed an antenuptial contract and they helped by explaining all the different types (in not overly complicated legal terms) and helped me choose the one that was right for my partner and I. Very reasonable price, everything was quickly wrapped up, and they even liaised with the notary involved to give me numbers for marriage officiants so we could avoid a Home Affairs wedding.

I truly cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Ms. Nia Yu and the rest of the SD Law team. Out of all of the law firms in Cape Town that I reached out to, they were the only ones willing to assist me with recovering a promised refund from a local hotel. Thankfully, this matter is now resolved and I have received my refund.

This situation was stressful and I was unsure what next steps to take as I live in the U.S. I work full-time in medicine, so I really appreciate the SD Law team handling everything for me--this alleviated a lot of stress. The team responded to my initial inquiry within 24 hours and all communication thereafter was prompt and thorough. The level of professionalism, empathy, kindness, and support is unmatched and something that other law firms are sorely lacking. The rates that I paid were quite reasonable and the team was transparent from the beginning about the costs.

I cannot recommend SD Law enough. My only wish is that they had a firm here in the States!

I cannot recommend SDLaw highly enough. Through a very high onflict divorce and messy legal actions, the team have supported me in so many ways. Not only legally, but also emotionally and in emergency situations. Their focus on ethics and civility cannot be emphasized enough. They have restored my confidence in justice being done and being seen to be done. The truth will always win in the end, even if the road is rocky and it takes long to get there.

I am lucky to be walking my road with Simon and his team. Thank you guys.

I used SD Law's services to facilitate an amicable uncontested divorce that was complicated by the fact that I live abroad and my (now ex) wife lives in Cape Town. I guess I was slightly apprehensive initially because the full fee was requested up front, but having checked out other reviews I decided to go for it. Fortunately that turned out to be the right decision! The service I got from the firm (and particularly from Mehra Amri, the Candidate Attorney with whom I interacted directly) was excellent. The process took a while, but that was simply down to the delays in getting a court date and such. I don't think there's anything the firm could have done to make it go faster. Throughout the process communication was good, and I felt well looked after. It wasn't cheap exactly, but I do think the fee was entirely reasonable. And, as they say, you get what you pay for!
In short, I would recommend them highly.

I found the advice given by SD Law partners very helpful in ensuring that I followed the right procedure; and to my great relief, I have not had to take the matter any further.
I am very grateful for the prompt advice that I was given, and the reassuring manner in which my fears and concerns were addressed.

Within a few day, they came back to me about the matter. They gave me advise on what steps I can take, what they suggest I do and why. Everything was well explained to me.

Personally I would like to thank Nia Yu for being so friendly and helpful. Always getting back to me within 24 hours with an answer and advice.

I would use SD Law again.

This is in my opinion is probably the best law firm in South Africa. Jealous down!! They were the only ones who showed willingness to assist me with my tenant problems.

Their rates are some of the most affordable amongst law firms. In fact, for the service you get. I could say that their rates are even cheap.

Within 24 hours of my email they had responded and on a Sunday. Notices and communication to tenants were done 24 hours later. I get continuous updates on my cases sometimes on a 'daily' basis.

After the passing of my Beloved Mother. I have now been able to restore order in my property.

Special thank you to Elly and Simon with you by my side I know I will win any case.

May God bless you!!

My wife and I engaged Simon and his team to help us with our overseas relocation. The matter involved being able to take my step-daughter with us.

From the start, we knew we had approached the right people and for us, the greatest strengths of Simon and his team is their genuine respect, empathy and caring for the well-being of our daughter and the compassion they showed to us as a couple that was going through one of the most important phases of our lives.

They were always extremely transparent about what the process would entail and that helped us immensely to be able to understand our timeline and what we needed to do and also the costs involved. Without that, it's difficult to properly plan for something like this.

We have recommended Simon and his team to our family and friends and that is probably the greatest testament to the trust we have in them and their abilities. In the end we felt as though we had made lifelong friends which I believe is not common in this field. We thank them from the bottom of our heart for helping us get through this and also get the outcome that we wanted.

I first came across Simon Dippenaar & Associates on the web looking for advice on Landlords Lien (Hypothec) as I have major issues with 40 tenants in my office block in Zimbabwe. I found the post very useful and was taken with Simon's offer to email him which I did after working hours. I was amazed that he replied first thing in the morning as did one of his partners. So they must have both read my lengthy email and analyzed it as Simon offered to set up a telephone consultation and one of his partners gave more advice which was very useful and gave me a way forward. I am also very impressed with their almost by return emails back to me. Thanks SD Law.

My experience with SD Law will change your mind.

My mother actually contacted them after my arrest on a Sunday morning and she was told that they do not cover our area. About a few minutes later she received another call from Simon to say that someone will come out to assist us.

On Sunday, I met Clara at that moment I did not realize that she was my guardian ANGEL. She ask me what happened and explain everything as she recorded me and told me she will try her best to get me bail. Which she successfully got me out on Bail.

When I arrived at home my mother received a call from Simon. I was amazed by the follow up and feedback. I asked Clara the cost to represent me in my trail and it was quite expensive, but I went with Clara as she knew my case and gave me very good advice.

The Monday in court, the prosecutor said the case was withdrawn. We left the court room and Clara took the time to explain to me what had happened. I was still nervous as now I have a criminal record. On Tuesday, Clara gave me a phone called which she had not obligation to do. As she had completed her duties which was paid for. She explained to me the process to get my finger prints removed as well as sent me an email stating what I should do for this process to happen.

The feedback and response via telephone and email was so clear and helpful that I would recommend this firm to other. The service was worth every cent.

Today I followed Clara advice and was informed that my case was not withdrawn. I was confused and heartbroken. I am not worried I have complete confidence if the matter is brought back to court that SD Law will be my best choice to get my name cleared.

YOU CAN NOT PUT A PRICE ON FREEDOM.

I will pay double to SD Law as my experience with them was out of this world. After the worst experience I have ever gone through and gave up on believing people actually care. SD Law showed me there is still hope and people who care.THATS HOW GREAT THEY ARE.

Thank you Simon and Clara for everything you have done for me. I will definitely keep you on stand by.

As an accommodation establishment based in Cape Town where SD Law represented us in High Court. We had a rather urgent situation when we were preparing to evict a guest who over a length of time had rental arrears issues which our own attempts were futile to resolve. The guest was an advocate himself and we were aware that we would require formidable defense ourselves when urgent litigation was launched against us in an attempt to thwart the eviction process. Simon and Fritz ensured our rights were protected and that our business integrity was kept intact. They arranged junior counsel to make the legal process more reachable in affordability for us and due to the nature of the defense we required Simon made himself available and present all the way through, advising and formulating strategy with counsel and Fritz was always readily available only a phone call, message or email away to offer sound strategy and advise. Simon and Fritz with counsel to be at the forefront in our representation in matters before the court, were our legal team as a whole, who had such a genuine depth of knowledge in law and not law alone and who were well versed in navigating legal matters provided us with the adequate defense we needed against an urgent interdict and urgent spoliation application. In short, to say the insistency of our opposition made for a rather difficult case which was handled, I would say, flawlessly by Simon, Fritz and appointed counsel representing us. In addition they also won with costs awarded against our opposition launching urgent litigation against us.

With the war of ideas, which is one of the most important inventions ever made (an Ancient Greek invention) we are provided with the possibility of fighting with words and ideas to overthrow mistaken ones, with this very process forming the very basis of our civilization, especially all of its legal and parliamentary institutions - a necessity is adequate defense and representation who has the reasoning power, knowledge and capabilities to pursue the great quest of obtaining favorable outcomes in legal matters which one becomes involved in. Simon and Fritz at SD Law will handle your situation with care and responsibility, with a keen awareness of how to avoid hidden or unsuspected danger or difficulty. Along with appointed counsel they show compassion, dignity and respectfulness. With these qualities they are formidable in their pursuits. At every step of the way the sentiment of being in safe hands will be accompanied by their skill sets. They dedicate themselves in communication and if your situation has urgency, as ours had, they will be readily available to resolve it. Their time is genuinely valued for their fees.

I had the best nights sleep I've had in a long time after a consultation with Chris (and Mehra). The confidence and reassurance I have been given that my situation can be resolved has allowed me to finally relax, as though for the first time. I feel that I was not only heard, but understood, and that my best interests and my rights were explained and considered. Honestly, I ignored all my friends at the time, but hearing a lawyer say it made more sense. I heard what I needed to hear and I'm grateful.

What do we all want when employing the services of a professional? Service, knowledge, and most importantly communication. Throughout the entire process of dealing with Simon and everyone at SD Law I have been pleasantly surprised by every aspect of their offering.
Simons' knowledge of the law is second to none and the professionalism of all at his practice is unrivalled. They have communicated with me at each and every step of the process and when one is usually met with an invoice, there is usually an accompanying wince. I can say in all honesty that when I received the invoice for a service par excellence I was not only happy to pay it but secretly probably would have paid more.
Now it isn't often you will hear me say that!

SD Law Cape Town, in the form of Simon Dippenaar and Christopher Kennedy, can be depended on to advise and protect any person going through the experience that we are currently going through, with professionalism and integrity.
The Covid 19 Lockdown has placed many small businesses and individuals in jeopardy, as the economy collapses under the pressure.
As an individual and small business owner working from home and renting both home and office, I have been put under extreme pressure during this period, as my ability to earn has been severely curtailed, resulting in a complete lack of any.income during the months March till June.
Simon and Christopher's calm and unflappable demeanour when we have been faced by an aggressive landlord intent on eviction regardless of our circumstances, has shown compassion and understanding, while supporting us with their professional knowledge of property Law.
At a time where we had nowhere to turn to. Simon and Christopher have calmed us and helped us to understand that although landlords have rights, tenants have rights too.
We cannot thank them enough for going the extra mile to protect us, their client and we are extremely grateful.

I approached Simon a few months ago to help my housekeeper with her divorce. She'd been in an abusive marriage for over 10 years and struggled for more than 5 years to get away from it. I knew we needed to get a lawyer involved. Simon and his office responded within a couple of hours of me sending an email, and although it took around 3 months for everything to be finalised, they made the process as seamless as could be. They were professional, kind, and incredibly sensitive to my housekeepers situation. 5 stars from us both!
