On the 26 October 2022 my daughter was unlawful arrested and had to spend the night in jail a single mother of 2 little girls

I contacted Quanter the Laywer from Patton Williams attorneys to go and get my daughter out the police man that arrested her was found quilty off misconduct Quantar requested me to pay R3000 immediately wich I did how ever he didn't get my daughter out off jail the following day I received a invoice for R9000

When I asked him aboud it he said it is for all his costs

I explained to him we dont have that kind off money and my daughter won't use his services he still keep on adding money

I have already paid 6500 towards the ridiculous bill that they haven't done anything for my daughter now all off a sudden there is still R12 500 outstanding

I only owe them R4500 more and refused to pay them a further sent they unethical

I told Quanter from the beginning that we dont have that kind off money still they send the balju to my daughter for services doing nothing for her

My son had a accident when he was 7years old. Now turning 19. an attorney has processed and finalized all paperwork and has sent in according to him an amount which cannot be DISCLOSED TO ME to me even after asking numerous times. He now says that THE RAF IS THE DELAY, when all paperwork was handed in May, with a 6 week period for payout. NOW AFTER NUMEROUS EMAILS, SOME not even replying, he now says that the delay is from the raf itself. its been 12 years and I think that the payout should of been made by now. Please will you assist asap, my id [protected] also can you supply me with my rights as to what I can and cannot know, as its my sons claim but most of the information are being with held and also if I do not ask then information with regards to any progress is not being informed to me. only after 6 steps then only I must hear this step was taken, etc. I have also filled in a form which says that we must see the high court but nothing came of it.
please advise as this is my first claim.

kind regards and many thanks.

awaiting your response.

In october 2016 I received a letter of demand from the above said attorneys specifically gideon september a candidate attorney emailed me a letter of demand regarding this matter. I responeded to the email stating the facts of the matter that my daughter has attended the above mention school for only two weeks and that its unfair that I need to make payment of two months fees as I gave notice to the teacher within the one month notice period then the principal only calling two weeks later making the one month notice period run over into another month. I have asked that the matter be kept in obeyance and a obeyance hold be held and sent to me as soonest. Then I received a call from the sheriff to serve a summons on myself. I then sent an email with an offer to pay r1400 to the school which was approved by the above mentioned attorneyd client and payment to be made the 25th of the said month. I did indeed make a cash deposit at the atm in the name of the respected school and reference it to dominique abels agholor so definately the cash deposit should reflect in the attorneys clients books. I let the matter go thinking it was settled until I checked my credit record and found that a judgement was taken against me for the amount of r2800. I then mailed the attorneys ben groot enquiring as to why a judgement was taken against my name if I made payment on the said date and the agreed amount was r1400, I was told the candidate attorney no longer works there. I was so upset that the current attorney does not even know the agreement between myself and the client, gidoen september dealt with this matter and has now been handed over to the current attorney. I have asked that the attorney speak to his client regarding the cash payment made by me it should reflect in her books. To date no response and I have requested for the judgement to be rescind immediately with cost to the attorney as this is unprofessional and unreasonable as I negotiated the said payment and made the payment now the attorney is saying that there is no agreement that the amount remains r2800. From my understanding the attorney has no idea what happened in this matter and emails were not checked otherwise why is the attorney trying to negotiate again with me. I would like this matter to be taken with great seriousness as this has spoilt my credit record and I would like this judgement rescind as payment was made in this matter as agreed and on the agreed date.

Can the Cape Law Society remove Lauren Fine as an attorney and strike her name from the roll? It is not fair on customers to think you are using a reputable attorney and then to find out that she has been named and shamed in several editions of Noseweek magazine for conduct unbecoming of an attorney! She forced an innocent women who knew nothing about the law to file for a restraining order against her boyfriend because she mistakenly thought he had been unfaithfull to her!

Keller snyman schelhase have employed the services of an attorney called lauren fine. Lauren fine has been the subject of two articles in noseweek magazine. She is a bad attorney! It is not fair to go and seek the services of an attorney only to find out after that she has been in noseweek magazine! Can the cape law society please investigate this matter? Is it not the responsiblity of the cape law society to remove attorneys who bring the proffession into disrepute? Please can the cape law society read these articles and then take action?

Lauren Fine has bought the legal proffession into disrepute. She has been named and shamed on two different editions of Noseweek Magazine. We are asking the Cape Law Society to investigate her conduct and to stop her practicing law. She has bought nothing but shame on the legal profession in Cape Town. We are also asking people not to use the services of Keller Snyman Schelhase as they are guilty for employing her after she was fired from her previous job!
