About VDH Attorneys

VDH Attorneys, formally Van den Heever Attorneys, was founded by Sonja van den Heever, a UWC law graduate who is managing director. It has two offices: 261 Fourth Avenue in Grassy Park and Unit 10B, Bellpark Building, 142 Durban Road in Bellville Central. The firm has five attorneys and two candidate attorneys. Duncan van den Heever, admitted as an advocate in 2012 and an attorney in 2019, is also a registered accountant and tax practitioner. Lyndon Arenz, Clinton Grewe and Ethan Erasmus complete the attorney team.

The firm litigates in the Magistrates' Courts and High Court and deals with the Master's office on estates. Its main lines are divorce and family law, evictions, property transactions, deceased estates and criminal defence, including bail applications after hours. Duncan's side covers contracts, company registrations, trusts, tax and estate planning and labour matters. Courts it covers include Wynberg, Cape Town, Mitchells Plain, Athlone, Muizenberg, Bellville, Kuils River, Stellenbosch, Strand and Paarl.

Both offices open Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 17:00 and Friday 08:00 to 16:00. The firm takes WhatsApp messages and says it replies within 24 hours. Older listings mention a Wynberg branch, but the firm's website now lists only Grassy Park and Bellville.
