The Domestic Violence Amendment Act was introduced to strengthen the protection of individuals against domestic violence and to improve the legal mechanisms available to victims. At Burger Huyser Attorneys, we provide a range of services designed to help you understand your rights and take the necessary legal actions to protect yourself and your family.
