Personal responsibility

Your matter.
My priority.

Direct access to the attorney responsible for your matter.

Experience with a personal perspective.

Etienne Botha is a practising attorney serving individuals, property owners and established businesses from Somerset West and Onrus, Hermanus.

Before entering private practice, Etienne worked under a High Court judge, gaining insight into court processes and the inner workings of the courts. He brings this background and ten years in private practice to the matters he handles.

How Etienne works

Every matter starts with understanding what has happened and what the client needs. Etienne considers the legal position alongside the practical circumstances, including the costs and consequences of the available options.

Where a dispute can be settled, he works towards a settlement. Where court proceedings are necessary, he takes carriage of the case and manages the process. His work includes Magistrates’ Court and High Court matters, with advocates briefed for court appearances where required.

If an advocate, correspondent attorney or another professional is needed, Etienne explains their role and remains responsible for his work on your matter.
