George is a director of BDP Attorneys and has over 25 years’ experience in family law, constitutional law, insolvency law, company and commercial law issues

George, a renowned Cape Town divorce lawyer, has developed pre nuptial contracts for, or handled the divorce proceedings of, more than 4000 couples over the last thirty years.

George is a formidable opponent in any courtroom battle. He uses razor sharp logic and an unsurpassed knowledge of the law to achieve the highest ratio of successful outcomes for clients. As tenacious as he is in the courtroom, George is also empathetic, understanding and easy to talk to.
Not many people know that George is also a talented wildlife and nature photographer. When he is not in a Cape Town divorce court, he can be found off the grid somewhere in the desert or bush of Southern Africa, his Canon 5D banging against his side as he waits patiently for the sunrise golden hour to illuminate his next shot.

If you are getting married, or you need family friendly empathetic advice before arbitration or divorce proceedings, it makes sense to call Cape Town’s leading family law attorney.

Your first consultation is always free.
