To ensure that we stay relevant with today's technological advancements and provide access to justice to our Members, despite their geographical location and personal circumstances, we launched an initiative to provide video consultations on Zoom and WhatsApp. These platforms allow our Members to consult with our Legal Counsellors without having to make the effort of visiting any of our Branches. The services also allow the transfer of documentation and other information that is needed.

We have received wonderful reviews from our Members who have successfully attended video consultations with our Legal Counsellors with some of them stating the following:

Katloema Hoarst -“I would rate my Zoom Consultation as a 10/10.”

David Redding -“The patience and advice I was given worked in my favour, so I'm very happy. I was also very happy with the WhatsApp consultation.”

Simon Zakhele Lelaka -“I just wish to state the use of Zoom for meeting, communication and feedback by your office has enhanced communication and interaction between your organisation and myself.”

Should you wish to jump onto a video consultation, follow the steps.
