About Us

This enterprise was established in August 2015 by the current Lead attorney and founding Director, Mr Thomas Motale.

Mr Thomas Motale, was employed at the National Prosecuting Authority of SA where he started in the junior ranks until he became a District Court Prosecutor in the years of 2005 to 2010. This is where he gained a sound grounding from various mentors: from case load handling, prioritizing and finalizing of matters right up to the taxation of defense attorney's fees.

From 2011 onwards he received further practical experience and exposure at the legal Education and Development Centre, where he was involved in advancing the courses of people who could not afford legal representation. In this phase of his early development he handled complex cases, some public interest in nature.
