Terrible service, they do not give u feedback, they take there time, u have to constantly chase after them to hear what is happening I keep emailing for feedback all I get is a statement where they charge me R165 +- to send a email to them! They charged me also becuz I asked them to appear in the court with me (intent to join court) which they never showed up...my enquiries get ignored no documents get sent to me they ask twice for info that's been sent already Ive been quoted by Andrew in the beginning and my bill is triple that! I'm now stuck where they just don't bother contacting or responding to me. They put more stress on a person that what the divorce is. Empty promises. I would not recommend them it's starts over very well.. ends horribly.

I had a distressing experience with Burnett Attorneys (Burnett Law). From the start, the attorney arrived late for our initial consultation. I was asked to fill in what was presented as a simple client information form, only to later realize that hidden behind the form were terms and conditions attempting to bind me to an agreement I had never properly reviewed or consented to. A day after, I immediately sent an email instructing them not to proceed with any work. Despite this clear instruction, Burnett Attorneys continued and even claimed to have drafted a settlement agreement. This was clearly a template because they had no information about my children nor my businesses showing clear disregard for the facts of my case. They keep spelling my name incorrectly! To make matters worse, they then began sending me statements for services I never authorized. This harassment escalated with the issuance of a Section 129 legal notice — threatening me legally for an account I had never agreed to. Despite raising my objections in writing and explaining there was no signed mandate, Burnett Attorneys ignored my concerns and persisted with their aggressive and ********* conduct. And charging me for emails and sms's! Their behavior has been unprofessional, abusive, and in clear violation of basic client trust and legal ethics. I have been forced to escalate this to the Legal Practice Council to seek accountability.

When you shop around for an attorney they say the first consultation is free. Even if you insist to know the prise of the first consultation, Andrew McCabe tells you not to worry about it and it is free. When you ask for any rates, they only say that they will call you and discuss the way forward. If you then decide not to use them(because you can not get a rate from them) you will get an statement with the 'free' consultation costing R766 and other charges aswell. If that is the way they do business, i am rally glad i decided not to use them. (Still have to pay them though)

All they ever charged for were emails. I cancel the business with them. Now they charged even for cancelation email i sent. My invoice continue to go up as they charge R75 for sms per month i don;t know what sms. They have only went to court once but the bill they charge for emails is greater that court consultation. They will refuse to talk over the phone, refuse to even give you the lawyers number. you don't have communication except for emails. Then how can they charge for an ongoing comunication that could have been a 1minute call? No matter how desperate you are do not use these lawyers. I need help to stop them from ****ming me. I told them i wont acknowledge the debt as i am not happy with the charges. They sent a threatning sms to tell me i will never get credit anywhere as they will block me.

I had a very good experience with this law firm. Everything was explained very nicely to me from beginning to end and I received a top-notch service. The staff there are very friendly and compassionate and they were willing to listen. The fees were reasonable compared to other law firms in Pretoria.

all they ever charge for is sending emails and receiving emails. I paid them about 10k but no solution even at court I dont know why i went with a lawyer. now i owe them 8k thats for a case that they did not resolve, its like they go to court with the intentions of going back again so they can charge you. On the statement transport to court is close to 2k, that time their lawyer used uber which i think it did not even cost more that R300 return, they charge for receiving email and charge for sending emails. very useless law firm. I stayed away from them and they send me an email. few minutes after email they send statement. I send email to cancel their services they sent an updated statement which reflect that email. nonsense
