An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove

FAMILY LAW
AN IRON FIST IN A
VELVET GLOVE
“Trish Offermann is an experienced family law practitioner. She
previously practiced at a small family law firm on the Berea,
when she was approached by Strauss Daly some five years ago to
start and head-up their family law department”
T
rish has developed a professional practice which prides itself
with meticulous attention to
detail, a close bond with clients and a
robust approach bringing matters to
finalisation as soon as possible.
It is always in a client’s best interests
to reach settlement prior to embarking on costly litigation, and Trish
emphasises that this is her approach
in all matters. However, should the
need arise, she is a formidable and
determined adversary and will do
everything necessary to achieve
success for her clients.
Damian Bond, also a family
law specialist from Johannesburg, joined Trish’s team
last year and has been a
valuable asset in ensuring
clients receive the personal
and professional care which they
require. Heidi Scholl is a highly experienced legal secretary who forms an
integral part of the team. The team
looks forward to Sarah Campbell
filling the roll of candidate attorney in
the near future.
Trish works closely with experienced
Junior and Senior Counsel, social
workers, therapeutic, educational and
forensic psychologists, auditors and
actuaries who are recognised experts
in their fields. It is at times necessary
to engage the services of ancillary
experts to ensure the best possible
result.
While the team focuses primarily on
divorce matters, they also deal with
maintenance, domestic violence, post
divorce matters, care and contact of
children by interested parties, father’s
rights and other related family
matters.
Trish can be reached on: 031 570
