Chat with us on WhatsApp, call 012 304 0006, or email info@mathyechaukeattorneys.co.za. We will schedule a confidential consultation at our Pretoria or Bloemfontein office, or by phone if that suits you better.

Question 2

What does an initial consultation cost?

Consultation fees depend on the nature of your matter. We will be transparent about costs before you commit, and many RAF and unlawful arrest claims are handled on a contingency basis.

What documents should I bring?

Anything relevant: identity documents, police case numbers, medical reports, contracts, correspondence, or photographs. If you are unsure, bring what you have and we will guide you.

Question 4

How long do RAF claims take?

Accepted Answer

RAF claims vary widely depending on the injuries and the evidence required. Straightforward matters can settle within months. More complex claims may take a year or more. We will give you a realistic timeline at the outset.

Question 5

Do you take cases outside Pretoria and Bloemfontein?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We represent clients across South Africa and appear in courts and tribunals nationwide. Distance is rarely a barrier to taking on a meritorious matter.

Question 6

Is everything I tell you confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every communication between an attorney and their client is protected by legal professional privilege and we treat your information with strict confidentiality.

Question 7

Can I claim if I was arrested without cause?
