By Petrina Chetty.
Fawzia Khan of Fawzia Khan & Associates is a sole proprietor and general litigation attorney. She joined our panel in 2015. Since then, Ms Khan has maintained a consistent presence at ProBono.Org due to her desire to help people. Apart from taking on numerous matters, Ms Khan has assisted us with many of our special projects, such as the 16 Days of Activism help desks, and seminars for GreenAble and the KZN Blind & Deaf Society. Ms Khan is one of the attorneys that we can (and do!) approach when we need assistance urgently. In an organisation like ProBono.Org, it is most valuable to have attorneys like Ms Khan on our panel. She has proven that everyone can give back if they so wish.
“Giving back to the community by providing free legal services to the vulnerable and indigent is most fulfilling and highly rewarding”
Another attorney who we wish to acknowledge is Gregory Botha of Pitcher & Fismer Attorneys. Mr Botha is a general litigation attorney and also joined our panel in 2015. As Mr Botha practises in Pietermaritzburg, it is difficult for our Pietermaritzburgbased firms to staff our help desks in Durban. Mr Botha compensates for that by being ever willing to take on individual matters and has assisted us tremendously in this regard. He has gone above and beyond his mandate to ensure that clients are assisted.
“ I believe ProBono.Org helps to ensure that those less fortunate in our society have access to quality representation, ensuring these individuals’ rights are properly protected and / or enforced, making ‘access to justice’ a reality for them.”
