I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleagues for the very professional service you have rendered.

Dear Chris, it has been a long journey with you. I am so very glad that it is almost completed.

I’ll admit, there was some scepticism during this time due to stories of terrible experiences suffered by some claimants and dodgy lawyers. I am ever grateful for the manner in which this claim has been conducted by DSC. Your due diligence and patience exercised whilst communicating with me along the way was very encouraging.

I understand that we are still in the process of claiming attorney costs from RAF, but we have reached the biggest milestone and for that I’m happy.

Hiermee wil ek net baie dankie sê aan DSC Prokureurs vir die uitstekende diens wat julle aan my gelewer het oor die jare.

Dit was baie moeilik, maar ons het deurgedruk en ons het dit gemaak. ‘n Spesiale dank aan Jacqueline Hudson en Monique Malgas wat my ondersteun en gehelp het. Hulle het saam met my die laaste gedeelte van die pad gestap en ek gee hulle 100% vir hulle professionele en liefdevolle diens aan my. Baie dankie ook vir hulle geduld wat ek een of meer kere beproef het, maar ek kon hulle bel en verskoning vra en hulle het gemaak asof dit nooit gebeur het nie. Dit wil gedoen wees.

Ek bid die Seën van die Here oor almal se lewens en mag DSC Law voortgaan met die goeie diens wat julle lewer. Ek sal ook altyd mense aanmoedig om van julle dienste gebruik te maak. Geseënde Feestyd. Geniet die vakansie en veilig ry. Die Here seen julle. Groete.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all involved in my case for everything.

You have treated me with so much endearment and were always willing and friendly when the law terms were just beyond my comprehension.

We have all had a very long journey and I cannot thank you enough. Words cannot explain how much you have meant to me. There have been many days where I thought of giving up, but you persevered.

Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart for every consultation, phone call and email. Each and every person at DSC deserves a medal for the hard work you put in for your client.

Personal Injury Claim

My accident happened on the 3rd of January 2011 and shortly after that I began the process of applying to the Road Accident Fund through DSC Attorneys during that November.

The first year or so comprised of assessments all set up by DSC and despite having gone through a traumatic accident, everyone I dealt with was incredibly friendly, thorough and made me feel comfortable.

Although this has been an incredibly long process with many delays occurring internally at the RAF, I have recommended Chris Smit and DSC Attorneys to anyone who has had an accident. My settlement was more than I expected and has helped me to further my post-graduate education, support my mother and expand my financial portfolio. I believe I would not have gotten the settlement I did without the assistance of Chris Smit, Barry van Wyk and their team. As a client, my case was represented well and, for lack of a better word, I was ‘fought’ for.

Overall, their service was excellent as I received updates throughout the process and timely responses to my emails with explanations from Moira van Wyk, who ensured I understood everything and answered all of my questions.

I would like to use this opportunity to sing the praises of two very special team members you have on staff namely, Handrie and Esme.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had my case assigned to them in late 2016. They saved my case and fought for me like no other.

They kept me informed every step of the way and handled my case with empathy and diligence. They not only saw me as another claim but as a person who had undergone a traumatic experience and for that I am thankful.

Thank you Handrie and Esme for your competence and professionalism. For answering all my questions, replying to my emails, and fighting for the best possible outcomes.

Keep up the amazing work DSC attorneys because your work makes a difference in the lives of ordinary people.
