031 572 4107Pravda & Knowles Attorneys grew out of the practice of Mathew Pravda, who trained as a candidate attorney at Du Toit, Havemann & Krog around 1990 and built a family law practice before widening it. Later partners included Andre Terblanche, who ran the commercial department from 2000, and Roger Knowles, after whom the firm is partly named. Senior partner Annie Tooray runs the La Lucia branch, and Justin Pravda now oversees the department heads. The firm's website lists offices at 7 Lighthouse, 15 Millennium Boulevard in Umhlanga, 11 Gainsford Place in La Lucia and 1 Wisteria Mews, Vlok Street in Alberton, with a further presence in central Durban near the High Court and Family Advocate.
