Thank you. We feel very safe now and it was because you stepped in, forever grateful.

My lawyer was able to achieve an outcome that should of occurred by other means long ago. Without this service I would still be a victim of DV.

THANKYOU for keeping me and my children safe

Keep up the awesome work [WDVCAS]. You are a fantastic lawyer & suit your profession exceptionally well. Thank you 10000x.

The service provided by [WDVCAS] was outstanding and excellent. [WDVCAS] were very patient, empathetic, supportive through out the process. … I really thank [WDVCAS] from the bottom of my heart for the support and help [WDVCAS] provided to me.

Intervention order in place that meets the needs and makes me feel safe to now go about rebuilding my life.

The understanding and compassion shown towards me and my situation was second to none. I don't believe I would've received the positive end result if it were not for the support I received from this service.

Your understanding, care and knowledge from the first day we spoke has been amazing, when I first spoke to you I had little hope anyone would be able to help as I had numerous rejections from local SAPOL officers and was told there was nothing they could do but my confidence was instantly shifted.
