My name is Lize Nel, I qualified and practiced as an Advocate of the High Court and subsequently has now added the qualification of attorney to my name as well. I specialise in all areas of Criminal law, criminal litigation and criminal trials. I can also provide assistance with civil law matters.

Being arrested and prosecuted is a very traumatic and stressfull process, with potentially devastating conssequences, not only on the person being arrested but also on their loved ones.
I pride myself on informing my clients and their families of every step of the way, of everything that will happen during this terrible traumatic time.

Therefor I try to reassure my clients and their loved ones by explaining the process.
