Steps to Get a Protection Order in South Africa
At Burger Huyser Attorneys, we offer expert legal support for individuals who need a protection order. Understanding the steps involved can make the process smoother and less intimidating. Here is a breakdown of the process, along with how we can assist you:
Step 1 – Understanding Your Legal Rights and Protection Options
The first step in securing a protection order is understanding your rights under South African law. Protection orders are granted under the Domestic Violence Act, but the exact process may vary depending on your specific situation. Burger Huyser Attorneys will provide you with detailed legal advice to ensure you understand what protection is available to you, whether it’s from a partner, family member, or another individual.
We will listen to your situation, assess the severity of your case, and explain the type of protection order that is most suitable for your needs. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision and move forward with confidence.
Step 2 – Filing Your Application for a Protection Order

We ensure that all required documents are completed accurately and submitted correctly to avoid delays. Our team will help you gather the necessary evidence to support your case, such as witness statements, medical reports, or police records, if applicable.
We understand how stressful and emotional this process can be, and we are here to guide you through each stage to ensure that everything is in order for your hearing.
Step 3 – Court Hearing and Legal Representation
Once the application has been submitted, a court hearing will be scheduled. At this hearing, a magistrate will assess the evidence and decide whether to grant the protection order. Burger Huyser Attorneys will represent you during the hearing, advocating for your safety and ensuring that your case is presented clearly and effectively.
Our legal team will ensure that you are fully prepared for the hearing, explaining the process and what to expect. We are here to support you emotionally and legally, working to ensure that you get the protection you need.
