Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Plaatjie Taupedi has two offices, in Gaborone and Palapye. Relationships mean everything to us. Whether you are a corporate client or looking for advice on your personal affairs, we will focus on your objectives and work with you to make sure that you have the right legal support when you need it most.
As the client, you will decide the general direction of your matter. As your lawyer, our job is to provide you with legal advice on the different options available to move your matter forward, including the pros, cons and costs associated with each. We will usually make a recommendation, but the final decision will be yours. We will then provide legal services necessary to carry out your instructions.
Two-way communication is very important in a lawyer-client relationship. Many of our lawyers communicate by email or phone. Regular contact with you is critical in order to provide updates on your matter and obtain your further instructions.
It is our goal to respond to client emails or phone calls within 1-2 business days, where applicable. We ask that our clients also respond to our emails or phone calls in a timely fashion. If we do not receive instructions from you on a matter, we are unable to continue to provide legal services on your behalf.
You have several options for responding to the lawsuit, and each depends on the circumstances of your case. A Plaatjie Taupedi attorney is experienced at doing everything correctly so you don’t lose your chance to defend yourself.
If you don’t hire an attorney file a written response to the court, the Plaintiff can win by default judgment even before a scheduled court date.
Certain communications between attorney and client are absolutely confidential. This is known as “attorney-client privilege.” Because of it, you can give your lawyer all of the facts relevant to your matter without fear that prejudicial information will become public.
