Testimonials

Fadia Arnold is such a gem! I was dismissed unfairly and needed to appeal the dismissal. I had no legal representative to assist me as the lawyer that was assisting me before advised that he cannot help me further due to unforeseen circumstances. I was completely in panic mode as I had two days to appeal the outcome and fortunately because of Google and existing testimonials, I came across the reviews made about Fadia and I knew that I needed her as my lawyer.

She assisted me in a flash and just by talking to her, I felt so much better as you can hear that she is an expert in the field and can certainly cater for whichever approach that the client wants. She helped me draft my appeal and I was able to take comfort in knowing that she has my best interest at heart as she willingly assisted me after hours and even when on sick leave as her child was ill.

Such service is rare, considering that time was not on my side. Thank you so much and yes, do take up psychology at some point as you really have a way with people:)

Maria Gaoraelwe Marketing Coordinator One of the leading Retail companies

Fadia Arnold is absolutely brilliant. She came highly recommended by many different people and I was not sorry that I used her, she timeously assisted me, after hours which was going over and above the call of duty. I will recommend her in my professional circle. Her advice was sound and extremely professional.
She also provided advice to a young professional at the same time, which I commend her for.

Thank You Fadia.

I had the diving privilege of being assisted by Fadia Arnold, who responded swiftly to all my queries and gave immense resolution and clarity over the issues I am currently facing due to retrenchment resultant of Covid-19. I would recommend not only Schoeman Law to any who needs legal help, but specifically Fadia for any labour related matters. Thanks so much for all your help Fadia!

Sasha Gomes PR Manager Shimansky

My husband has recently, and very unexpectedly, required the assistance of a labour lawyer. This is a position that neither he nor I have ever found ourselves, and it has come as quite a shock. I am naturally a “worrier” and this experience has proved extremely stressful for me. As the person who is not directly involved in the labour-related issues, it is difficult to sit on the sidelines as it unfolds. I will be forever grateful to Fadia Arnold for the way she has handled this experience. From the moment she came on board, she has been professional, efficient and extremely dedicated. Knowing that we are both worried, she has been in constant communication with us to ensure we know what is going on and how to proceed. She went so far as to work on the weekend, while sick in bed with flu, in order to ensure an urgent correspondence could be sent as soon as possible in order to put our minds at ease. While the proceedings are ongoing I will remain anonymous, but will be sure to add my name to this testimony when all is completed. Thank you Fadia, you are an amazing asset to your company.

Mbali Mazibuko Investment banker

I recently appointed Ms. Fadia Arnold to act for me in a complex labour and commercial matter with a high-profile, international client. From the first consultation, Fadia has acted in an extremely professional, yet empathetic and reassuring manner. The matter in question is still ongoing, but I am confident that I am in good hands, and feel that my interests are being well represented by Fadia in particular, and Schoemans in general.

Luke

To whom it may concern

My former subordinate recently had an unfortunate labour dispute with her Employer (one of the largest investment banks in South Africa) and asked if I knew of any experienced labour law attorneys.

I immediately recommended Fadia Arnold of your offices as I have known her for more than a decade and she has assisted me in the past as well. I always recommend her for labour disputes as I view her as a subject matter expert within labour law.

Fadia takes great pride in assisting clients promptly and making them feel comfortable despite facing challenging times.

Thank you for assisting, your expertise is well worth the financial investment and I would recommend Fadia as always in future to anyone needing employment related assistance.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Anonymous Investment Banker

The experience that I had with Fadia really gave myself and my mom who was experiencing a labour law issue real peace of mind. Not only did Fadia respond swiftly and give my mom excellent advice which really helped with a difficult and stressful issue but she was exceptionally personable and friendly, someone that you are able to build a long standing business relationship with.

I would highly recommend Schoeman Law for any legal issue that you may encounter!

Janelle Botha

I recently had brief telephone consultation with Fadia Arnold and her advice and professionalism were impeccable and I wanted to thank her formally for her advice, as it was not her specialty but she still took my call and assisted. I am deeply grateful and thankful. My company has used Fadia Arnold for many years for employment related disputes and we would recommend her to anyone with similar issues.

Monique Sales Executive

I needed urgent assistance with a lengthy and complex clause in my employment contract related to “restraint of trade”.

Within 7 hours of my initial request for assistance I had paid, scheduled and met with Fadia regarding my employment contract query. She provided valuable insights and a plan for moving forward. As a result of our meeting, I am much more confident that I can take the next steps in my career journey.

Anonymous Chartered Accountant

Fadia was great.

As a company committed to transformation, we worked closely with Mrs Schoeman-Louw and leveraged her invaluable expertise and guidance for our company. Coupling a deep understanding of both the law and the aspirations of the directors, SchoemanLaw lead and navigated us to achieve our legal goals. With patience, Mrs Schoeman-Louw clarified complex legal matters and applied the breadth of her knowledge to our particular situation.

Olivia Wallis Online Marketing Manager & Business Coacholiviawallis.com

Vuyiseka was an absolute pleasure to work with, being based in the Karoo I was very skeptical sending my only original copy to an unknown company based in another city (but I had not choice). She did an excellent job staying in touch and updating me on the progress and went above and beyond to make sure that my documents where safe, notarized and sent to their next destination. Thank you!

I am so impressed with the SchoemanLaw SME Self Service Desk! It is the first solution of its kind, created by legal entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs! It is an innovative, affordable, and professional online solution.

Thank you for a job well done in partnering with WECBOF in providing a valued service to all of its members.

Gavin Hunter Director WECBOF

The services rendered to us were done so in a very professional manner. There was always consistent feedback, with e-mail and telephonic feedback always carried out comprehensively and timeously. The entire process of getting our ANC drafted, along with our wills, took a week (from initial consultation to signing of the documents), which for me was unexpectedly quick. I would definitely recommend SchoemanLaw Inc. to anyone who would ask me for a recommendation!

Matteo Angelucci Engineer

Working with SchoemanLaw was an absolute pleasure. From the first call with the receptionist who was efficient and blew our mind away with her professionalism, right through to drawing up our contract and signing it within a week, the process was seamless and a complete pleasure.

Denise Jackson & Jonathan Bosman

Every small business needs to be able to lean on good legal advise when entering into any agreements or contracts. Legal fees seem like something unreachable and very expensive to small businesses but as your business grows you need it, great package SME’s Schoeman Law Inc.

Tamburai Managing Director ONEOFEACH

It has taken me many years to realise one of my dreams. To have a legal firm be the in touch with the grassroot level as well as the SMMEs. Partnering with SchoemanLaw Inc, WECBOF will be setting a trend for all members of organisation to be able to afford the legal advise and much more at the most reasonable rates, but also have that human touch that SMMEs feel is not existing when talking about lawyers. Well done to both WECBOF and SchoemanLaw, i wish you both all the success in this journey.

SchoemanLaw’s claim that there innovative and entrepreneurial mind-set sets them apart could not be more accurate.

Denver Gordon Cape Town

I have engaged the services of Schoemanlaw Inc. on three occasions over the past few years on issues ranging from high executive corporate law to construction mis-management, and trust issues.

I have been impressed by firstly the firms overall operating structure to ensure that as a client, I was aware of exactly what the costs and implications of our engagement would be going forward. Secondly, the professionalism and integrity shown by Nicolene and the firm in how they approach any mandate given and especially Nicolene’ s extensive advice based in her ethical ethos made me conformable and trustful of her approach. It is this approach that has afforded me success in the issues she engaged with me on.

The transparency of how the firm operates and Nicolene’ s clear counsel and logical attention to detail, provided value over and above what I could have expected.

Robyn JacksonOwner The Business Couch

You and your team have made every effort to keep me informed with every step that took place. I am truly grateful for the professionalism and efficiency shown, even during your maternity leave Mrs Schoeman-Louw. I believe that your great leadership continues to show even when you are not there. Words can never express my appreciation for everyone who was and everyone who is still involved in this matter.

Mrs M Maake Retired

Thanks so much for all your assistance. You tackled issues for me in such a capable manner. On, lets call it the tricky matter – I was not sure that it would be possible to get a good result and you achieved it with very little pain to me. On the conveyancing matter, it was good to get your advice on matters above and beyond an attorneys usual scope of delivery.
I will certainly avail your services once again.

Mokgatle Mokgatle, Cape Town

Last year I used Schoemanlaw Inc. for the transfer of my property when it was sold. I could not have wished for a more thorough service to be offered. From the weekly progress reports sent to both the purchaser’s attorney and myself to the informative advice given when it was required, it allowed a very challenging transfer to proceed as professionally and as quickly as it could.

There was never a moment when I felt alone or without information and sound advice. My son also used the firm to resolve a delicate business challenge and the entire matter was handled with professional courtesy and sound advice.

I have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone seeking legal support.

Yvonne Finch, Coaching and Mentoring Specialist, Facilitator and Business Strategist, Cape Town

Thank You so much for assisting me with this mater and thank you for your professionalism throughout the whole process much appreciated.

Linda, Goodwood, Cape Town

Informed, coherent and helpful. Just what we were looking for in an attorney!

Sigrid Kenmuir, Marketing Assistant, Cape Town

I met Ms Schoeman – Louw by referral of an acquaintance of mine in 2008, after my husband’s death. At that stage, I had never used the services of an attorney before and felt very overwhelmed by the situation. Schoemanlaw Inc. dealt with everything in a very diligent way, making this traumatic experience effortless for me.

I have since then, made use of Schoemanlaw Inc. services in a number of other matters and have only received friendly, professional and reliable advice from them. I have also referred many of my friends and colleagues to them!

What further sets them apart from other law firms is Ms Schoeman – Louw’s deep – seeded compassion for the community. She has become actively involved in our community by assisting our community aftercare project in its legal matters and personally invites members of our community to take advantage of the free services they render during National Wills Week every year.

I have realized that the passion, professional integrity and thoroughness with which they serve their clients are rare commodities. For this reason, I will recommend Schoemanlaw Inc. to anyone!

With thanks and appreciation,

Mrs M.A Fredericks (Anita), Seawind and Vrygrond Aftercare project.

We have worked for the past twenty-five years with almost every law firm in the Western Cape, and many from other areas, and in all that time have very seldom come across one with the work ethic, level of integrity and level of client service as Schoemanlaw Inc. Nicolene Schoeman – Louw and her staff work with a dedication to excellence that can only be described as just short of fanatical. I find it an honour to be associated with them.

Noel Pratten, Noel Pratten and Associates (legal consultants and private investigators), Cape Town

My fiancé and I approached Schoemanlaw Inc. for the drafting of our wills and antenuptial contract in April 2011. Ms Nicolene Schoeman – Louw at Schoemanlaw Inc. took the time and made the effort to thoroughly explain all the available options and the legal concepts to us – in both a friendly and easily understandable manner. This was a very pleasant experience for us, that we believe, has added immense value to our union. This, for us, is definitely the start of a long lasting relationship with Schoemanlaw Inc. We will without any doubt, recommend Schoemanlaw Inc. to any of our family and friends.

Quinton Schweni (SAPS) and Nachasa Joseph (law enforcement), Cape Town

Schoemanlaw Inc. is an exceptional boutique law firm. They have been able to help me with drafting a will and they are also very competent in a wide variety of legal services, particularly for small and medium businesses. To me, it’s great to have a lawyer who is able to help me with all my legal requirements. Nicolene Schoeman – Louw has an extraordinary eye for detail and very high business ethic. I would leave my gun, wallet and keys with Nicolene for safekeeping without thinking twice and undoubtedly without any worries.

Nicolene has an exceptional grasp of the law and works extremely hard in ensuring she is on top of what is happening to ensure clients obtain the best service. Nicolene is also an inspiring businesswoman to have built up her firm with the client loyalty, continued sustainable growth and professional service she offers.
