The uphill battle




No matter how much I want it to be otherwise- Litigation can often be a long and tedious affair. No- that is an understatement. It can be draining- both emotionally and financially.

To make matters worse you will often find the court as one of your opponents.





More than once I have found myself thinking that there is no place for legal practitioners in this country simply because we find judges, magistrates and the police more willing to find excuses to show us away than to assist us.



I have realised, however, that if that is how I struggle it can be worse for a lot of those who do not even have the necessary training to interact with these institutions.

It is true. Exercising your rights is difficult because those rights mean work to certain people who came to their offices with designs other than to do the jobs for which they were appointed. Giving up is just going to make that worse.

At least I am able to say that you can successfully  raise a defense of emergency if you have taken the law into your own hands after having exhausted every available remedy. I am fortunate to say that I have not seen anyone reach that point yet.

Approaching the courts or police for assistance may seem an impossible task, but do not give up. With the right guidance you will be able to see your matter through to the end and stay on the right side of the Law.

I know the Courts, Master's Offices and Police can be difficult at times. Instead of trying to tackle them on your own- let me help you.
