Best way to find the best top attorney, advocate or lawyer in Cape Town for your case – Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf
Cape Town has a diverse community. People from various religions, cultures, and backgrounds live here. However, even if the law is the same for everyone, it does not mean that any lawyer (attorney or advocate) will be the right fit for you. This applies not only to the law but to many other fields where personal engagement is essential. According to Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf, a highly experienced advocate in Cape Town, it would be hard to argue that an advocate who is young and technologically savvy is the best fit for an elderly client in a domestic dispute, who does not know how to make use of video calls or emails and only wants to meet face to face at their home. Although the young and tech-savvy advocate would know the law on domestic violence, he or she may find it challenging to work with the elderly client and vice versa. A better fit for this client would be an attorney or advocate who prefers to do old-school things and is efficient. And according to Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf, they are willing to use pen and paper to communicate (not email or an iPad).
What type of lawyer do we find in Cape Town?
Just like its residents, Cape Town has a diverse group of lawyers, attorneys, and advocates. If you are from the legal profession, it is sometimes easy to spot if an attorney or advocate practices from Cape Town. Although the law is uniform throughout South Africa, a Cape Town lawyer and lawyers in any other city in South Africa would do something differently. It may be because we are blessed with the mountains, forests and oceans.
According to Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf, Cape Town lawyers work very hard, as do most lawyers in South Africa. It is hard to presume that any lawyer, no matter where he or she practices, would make a success of his or her legal practice unless hard work, dedication and perseverance are part of his or her work ethic. They will not last long in the legal profession if it is not part of it. If an advocate or attorney is still in the legal game after 10 years, they must have been doing it right.
Finding the best lawyer, attorney, or advocate for you in Cape Town – According to Advocate Muhammad
According to Adv. Muhammad Abduroaf, it is not unknown for a client to change lawyers a few times in a court case. He had a client who approached him after having had no less than five previous lawyers in the same case. As outlined below, one of the arguments against a change in lawyers mid-case is that it is not always the best strategic move to make. Firstly, according to Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf, the new advocate of attorney would have to familiarise themself with all the facts and the history of your case.
You have already provided all the facts to your previous lawyer, and now you would have to do the same, without leaving anything out. This can be a tedious task for you. My may also have run out of enthusiasm. Furthermore, your previous attorney or advocate’s understanding of your case may be completely different from that of your new legal team. Your new attorney or advocate may not agree with your previous legal team’s strategy and may want to use a different one after analysing your case. This may cause more work to be done, which brings us to the next point.
An important consideration is that of costs. If you do not obtain the services of a lawyer who is a good fit, your case may cost you more. This is so as you and the lawyer may spend more time debating strategy because you do not see eye to eye on how the case should proceed. If you are hard-headed, and your advocate and attorney are too, things may take much longer to resolve regarding strategy. Advocate Abduroaf, therefore, suggests that first and foremost, when seeking an advocate or attorney to assist you in your legal matter, they must be compatible with your personality and be able to work with you, not only for you on your case.
Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf has the best advice for you when seeking an attorney or advocate.
Considering the above and understanding that legal results are equally dependent on your involvement in your case and the relationship between you and your advocate or attorney, finding the right legal team is crucial. It would be a sad day for you if all that hard work and time you and your initial legal team spent on your matter were wasted due to the soured relationship. Furthermore, it would be devastating if you lost your case not because you had a weak one, but because you and your attorney or advocate did not work together to present the strongest case possible.
According to Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf, the best attorney or advocate you can find is not one who knows the law but one who is willing to fight for you using the law. Therefore, a successful legal team is one in which the advocate is giving the punches to the other side in the boxing ring, and the client is always in his or her corner, ready to give him or her water and encouragement.
