About Harry Pretorius Attorney

Harry Pretorius is a litigation attorney who has practised continuously since 1977, first in Pietermaritzburg and later in Pretoria, as a partner and then in his own practice. He holds a BA LLB from the University of Natal, is admitted in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, and has a right of appearance in the High Court, so he can act as attorney and argue the case himself. He works from a home office at 10 Probert Road, Eldoraigne, Centurion, and clients deal with him directly on his own phone. Other firms also brief him to run their trials.

His practice is court work only. On the criminal side he handles urgent bail hearings, Magistrates' and Regional Court cases including fraud and white-collar crime, and High Court trials, and his website says he has run more than 100 murder trials. In civil and family matters he litigates contract, business and negligence disputes, divorces, Rule 43 applications and Children's and Maintenance Court cases. He also brings urgent applications such as interdicts, spoliation orders, Anton Piller orders and travel stop orders.

He does not take conveyancing, deceased estates, collections, RAF claims, labour matters or claims against the state. The first consultation is free, and urgent after-hours call-outs need an upfront deposit.
