Attorneys Fail to Return File

On 24 October 2025, Hildebrand Attorneys terminated their client (myself)—improperly in my view. My offending words appear below.* I gave Hildebrand 7 days then in which to return my file to my postal address. It stands to reason that a client needs their file in going forward. Now we are 40+ days since I asked for its return—and this precisely was my original problem with Hildebrand. They are wasting time. Further, the file should include information as to whether a fact-finding report was delivered. Specifically, Candidate Legal Practitioner Niso Sithole reported that he had sought to deliver it via WhatsApp. Whether it was delivered or not should be there in the file. Since this concerns a missing R2.3 million, I should have that response.

* My terminal words: “Hildebrand has now taken 112 days to deliver a fact-finding report to the intended recipients—after that report was finalised. I wrote that, after 110 days, I would report Hildebrand to authorities for negligence.”
