:: Anton Rudman ATTORNEYS :LEGAL ADVICE
Legal advice is the opinion given by counsel to a client to the best of their ability, whether it affects the client favourably or unfavourbly. Whether you have been unfairly dismissed from your place of work, are facing a divorce, or have lost a loved one in an accident through no fault of your own, where the thought of reliving the circumstances again in court is more than one can bear, legal advice is the only sane option available. Legal advisors can offer you impartial advice at an exceptionally difficult time, and explain exactly what is involved in making a compensation claim.
Anton Rudman Attorneys are knowledgeable and experienced and base their legal advice on trust and integrity as well as representing their clients in the professional manner which they expect and want.
Everyone is entitled to legal representation, and in civil matters you must pass a means test, which is based on income, to qualify for assistance; aid is available only to the lowest income groups.
- You can ask an attorney for legal advice, and for those who can't afford an attorney, help is still available as you can contact the Legal Aid Board at the nearest Justice Centre.
- You can also contact your nearest family- or maintenance court at the magistrate's court for advice. Failing that, you can seek further advice at the Court Manager of the specific magistrate's court or High Court.
Unfair dismissal:
If an employee is dismissed, reasons for such dismissal must be given, and the employee has the right to appeal, and has the right to take the matter to the CCMA. A dismissal will only be justified if the misconduct committed by the employee is so serious that it makes the continuation of the employment intolerable. If the employee alleges that his resignation was not tendered voluntarily, but was in fact the result of the employer having made his working environment intolerable, legal advice will have to be sought.
Don't despair, legal advice is available when the situation is out of control. Click here for contact details of attorneys who will look after your interests:
