Request your Legal Strategy Document

Share the basics about your situation so I can check for conflicts, see how urgent your matter is, and prepare your written strategy. Your email is required so I can follow up.

1. The Basics

Jurisdiction: This service currently covers South African legal matters only.

Are you currently represented by another attorney, union, or advisor?

Needed so I can check for any potential conflict of interest before reviewing.

2. The Case Categorization

Is this matter urgent—for example a hearing within 7 days, eviction or lockout, a CCMA deadline, a court date, utility disconnection, maintenance hardship, or anything else that may need attention sooner than the usual 2–3 business day turnaround?

Examples: hearing within 7 days; eviction or lockout; CCMA deadline; court date; utility disconnection; maintenance hardship.

When did the incident happen, or when is your hearing scheduled? (Used to assess if the matter is too urgent for the usual 3-business-day turnaround.)

3. The Facts

Keep this tight (not a long essay). Maximum 2000 characters.

Tip: Bullet points or short timelines work best.

Examples: "I want to stay employed," "I want a better settlement," "I want to know if I should sign this."
