MARTIN VERMAAK

Martin Vermaak is a Specialist Divorce and Family Law Attorney. He is also the hands-on Principal of the firm. He spends time with the Attorneys, discussing, debating and guiding them with their own matters and says it is a great pleasure to be blessed with Attorneys who would rather speak Law than eat lunch. He adds that their supportive, interactive and selfless attitude is helpful when faced with impossible deadlines. Preferring to personally handle each of his own cases, he delegates only where and when necessary, and insists on giving his own full attention to each one of the matters he handles. Therefore he accepts only a handful of matters at a time so that he can devote his individual attention and give them 110% of his expertise.

The trick is catching him when he is accepting new cases.

Poised and emerging as a leader in the new generation of heavy hitting divorce Lawyers. He is fast earning himself a reputation as the up and coming Attorney for the wealthy but maritally challenged. Losing is not part of his personality. Martin is the kind of Lawyer who elicits absolute trust from his Clients, and his ethics are beyond question. He keeps abreast of changes in Divorce and Family Law and has an instinctive feel for the needs of Clients.

His track record of successfully representing those going through a challenging divorce is outstanding, and his clever techniques have achieved successful results in high-level divorce cases. A dedicated specialised Divorce Attorney who is both experienced and relentless, Martin Vermaak is good at sorting out mature, complicated lives. He has that combination of compassion and grit that makes for a great divorce Lawyer. Martin can steer a Client skilfully over rough seas. He isn’t afraid to negotiate a settlement and won’t build up his fees with needless motions.

Understanding the challenges every individual is confronted with when facing a possible divorce, this experienced special Divorce and Family Law Attorney, limits the amount of cases he works on at any one time so that he can remain detail-oriented. Clients point out that Martin is good at coming up with innovative solutions to a family’s complicated problems. He feels it’s simply part of the process of ensuring that his Clients get what they should. When he makes an agreement for a Client, it lasts.

Confident, trustworthy, and ethical, he is quite prepared to rigorously fight for the well-being of his Clients, and has received favourable outcomes in divorce cases in the Gauteng area.  His skill in handling high stakes divorce cases, many of which involve large rand amounts, is excellent and he is fast becoming the must-see Attorney when a High Stakes Divorce is on the horizon.

He is not a kiss and tell Attorney. Your name will never appear on a list of his well known Clients – he doesn’t have one. He believes in his Clients’ need for absolute discretion and privacy, and almost all come away feeling that discretion and good judgment are at the heart of Martin’s efforts.

Martin utilises the best available experts in a variety of areas, including accounting, investigations, and more, to ensure you are properly represented and so that your situation is completely examined and you are given the best representation possible. He will pour over every document to ensure that every pre-marital agreement, and financial document, is thoroughly reviewed on your behalf.

Handling every type of divorce case, he settles most of them. He is friendly, professional, and accessible. Martin represents both sexes and describes his ideal Client as either a woman or man abused or threatened by a husband or wife. The stickier the case, the better it is for Martin.

Martin says he cannot be intimidated either by people or situations. Most of his Clients agree. He has an ability to put Clients at ease but isn’t shy about telling a Client that they’re pointed in the wrong direction. He emphasizes doing the best thing for the family, even if that means talking a spouse out of trying to nail the other party. He’s good at cooling down an overheated situation and considering the well-being of children. Martin knows about children; he’s the father of an eleven year old and five year old twins.

“You have to take control,” Martin says he has learned. “I have very strong convictions about how to do this job – it’s not about destroying families; it’s about delivering fairness.”

Insisting on thoroughness and being of a meticulous nature, Martin’s own usual case list contains only 10 to 15 matters at any one time.  He prefers to devote individual attention to each case in its entirety before taking on more. This is quite different to the way Attorneys usually work - they think nothing of handling over a hundred divorce files at any one time.

Martin works almost alone. He does not allow your file to be shunted from office to office and looked at and worked on by many. Instead he retains an Associate Attorney, a Candidate Attorney, and a few Admin Personnel who have worked with him for years and understand his methodology and need for precision.

Wisely, he says that top Specialist Divorce Attorneys are craftsmen who should hand work their materials so that the outcome will be as they have shaped it and not as the mass production of some standardised divorce factory template.
