From time to time I may present a view about some legal issue or scenario. Those views are my personal views and are not intended to be legal opinion on any specific issue. If you need legal advice on an issue feel free to contact me directly or consult your preferred legal adviser. Whatever you do, do not rely on any legal views expressed here unless I expressly say that it is safe to do so (which I probably won't anyway).
As for any other opinion I give or view I present, you take your chances there too.
One of my clients forwarded this story to me. It is quite scary to think that someone could be charged over R400 000 for what he is informed is a relatively “simple” divorce process. Irrespective of whether these fees are excessive in the circumstances (they certainly seem like a lot!), this case is a good example of why it is so important for attorneys to explain their fee structure up front and for clients to make sure they understand the fee structure and what the costs could be.
