In NOVEMBER 2019 we chose this law office after reading the Google reviews. As overseas clients and in relation to child proceedings we would not recommend this law office based upon our experiences. The case was in relation to a child of divorced parents, the child lives in South Africa (SA) as does the mother and the other parent in the UK. Custody was the initial enquiry made by the British parent to the law office and was met with a realistic chance of a positive outcome. However before this could even be considered, parental responsibility was required and for the child to spend time in UK first. Parental responsibility was gained in July 2020 but no further progress has been made, at all... we can't tell you why as we don't know either. To explain the circumstances of the case, the child was born in UK and both parents on birth certificate, but on returning to SA the mother did not add the father to a SA birth certificate she sought. Years later the child was removed from the mother and put in the social care system in SA due to neglect amongst other things. However, without parental responsibility of the overseas parent, it was not possible to seek custody of the child. The reasons why we wouldn't recommend using this attorneys for such a case include having to chase for results regarding court, chase for answers to emails, advice was never ever forthcoming, neither was clarity or direction – has been hard work as a client throughout and it really shouldn’t have been. Timeliness was an issue prior to Covid-19. We are still waiting for this matter to return to High Court and after months of not hearing anything we sent an email to the law office in December 2020 ... no reply. So have sent another email February 2021. We have raised on more than one occasion previously our complaints regarding the poor communication and those emails were usually answered and quicker than anything case related. A court order was sought in the family court for contact as the child returned to the mother in February 2020 and contact became sporadic and then parental alienation took hold. The UK parent and child are no longer in contact. We only found out of the family court orders existence 2 weeks after its initiation and not by the Law offices of Karen Olivier but by the child’s social worker. As explained parental responsibility was granted by the High Court in JULY 2020 some 8 months from initiating the Law office. The mother was ordered to obtain passports for the child by September 2020, this has not happened and not yet been challenged and the matter regarding travel to the UK, also still waiting. We have paid A HUGE amount 265,000.00 Rand(borrowed) money in this case. The returns? a massive loss and as you have read, not just financially.

There is no doubt that when it comes to family law, Karen and her team are truly one of the best. These ladies are knowledgeable, hardworking and dedicated in ensuring that both you and your circumstance is treated with the utmost care and respect. They are classy and dignified in their approach. She and her team uphold the law and at all times ensure that the needs and best interests of children and pets are upheld and met. The journey of divorce and custody is never easy. It is filled with emotions. It is scary, stressful and downright overwhelming. Karen has always been so supportive. She has always been there to guide and advise me. On weekends, after hours, holidays and even on Christmas morning and new years day, Karen took the time to help me and direct me and most importantly listen to me and my troubles. Both her and her team have truly navigated me out of some really tough times and rough waters. Karen has been practicing law for years. She is an expert when it comes to dealing with cases of domestic violence and child abuse. Her expertise and knowledge ensures that your needs and your rights are duly met. Both her and her team are so welcoming, friendly and supportive. They take the time to listen to you and understand how and what you are feeling. They always reassure you and make sure that you are comfortable and understanding of the matter or situation at hand. Along with Karen, I have had the pleasure of working and interacting with Lisa Marie. Lisa has just been so terrific. She always takes the time to listen to all of my worries and concerns. She is very understanding and she is very empathetic to the emotions and stress that I am feeling As a client, the waiting and the not knowing can be so challenging and difficult. The law takes time and patience. It doesn't happen over night. It's therefore so important to have lawyers whom you can trust and who know what they are doing. Because they are so busy, you may not always get a response from them immediately but they ensure that the needs of your case are well taken care off. I am still in the midst of my legal process with regards to the divorce and the custody of my baby girl. I truly believe and have all faith that Karen will ensure that both my baby and myself are protected and that we come out on top at the end of this process.

  • Vishaal Jasmat

I cannot thank Karen enough for all her help over the past 2 months. From the moment I made contact with her and her offices up to today has been phenomenal. Karen took her time to understand my situation and was never bogged down by the many questions I had lined up for her. There was always a mutual understanding of all issues on hand and all options available to me as a client before proceeding to the next step in the process. All legal jargon was simplified and nothing was ever too small to explain to me again and any confusion was laid to rest, sometimes more than once. It was also reassuring to know that I have someone on my side who believes in my story. Thanks to Karen I now have a full grasp on what needs to be done next to come out positively on the other side. At the same time Karen took the time to understand who I am as a person and my life a little better so that she could provide holistic feedback to me. Her life advice to me in general has helped open my eyes to the situation at hand and has helped me understand how to fight for what is rightfully mine. Somewhat alone in a new province and a new job off the backfoot of separation after 7 years, the extra time Karen took to chat to me on this level will never be forgotten and I will forever be grateful. While my issue has not come to a close just yet, I am in no doubt that with Karen on my side and all the help and wisdom she has given, the tables will turn in my favour. To anyone who is lost and confused and overwhelmed by the law – I recommend getting in touch with the Law Offices of Karen Olivier Family Law. You will not regret it!

  • Iftar

I got in contact with Karen after searching for a family law attorney on Google. Like you and many others I place a fair amount of reliance on the reviews posted by clients of any business. I decided to contact Karen based on her Google reviews, after I was having difficulty gaining access to my minor child post separation from my then wife. From the onset, Karen knew the best way forward (I thought I did but clearly didn't lol). Karen is passionate about ensuring that the child's interest remains paramount during any divorce and rightly so. She is willing to hear out your concerns and is ready to assist where ever she can. Thanks to Karen, I now have regular contact with my minor child and was able to settle my divorce within a matter of months. I'm still amazed how we were able to get it done so quickly, considering the counter-party was not very amicable from the onset. Divorce is never an easy process with emotions remaining high on both sides. My advice is to trust Karen!!!! She has been to the rodeo many times and is definitely worth having in your corner. Thank you again Karen & your team (Carey-Ann & Miasha). You remained available when we needed your assistance. I am glad we had our chats and that I stayed. My minor child and I can now rebuild our relationship and create many new memories together. Wishing you and your team all the best going forward. I will remain in contact

  • Jane Field

Karen was a beacon of hope to my little family. From the first consultation with her, I knew she was one of those rare people you meet with a blend of high integrity, a desire to help people, and a need to do the best job possible. She stood by every one of my requests and guided me through a very difficult divorce and child custody case with utmost care, compassion, sensitivity and professionalism. Her strong background in family law, sincere character and empathetic nature, offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most - my children. Throughout the process, Karen constantly reminded me of - and advocated for - the best interests of my children, as well as protect my position and well-being. With her ability to keep me focused on the important issues during a painful process, her primary interest was to find the best path to resolution and closure so that I could rebuild my life constructively. Without her help, I know that I would not have had the outcome I have had. I appreciated working with people that care for you on a personal level instead of just handling you as a “case“. Truly an incredible individual. Who goes above and beyond for her clients. I highly recommend her wholeheartedly. I’d like to also take this opportunity to thank you again Karen, for absolutely everything. Words can never express how very grateful I am to you.

  • Sarel Pretorius

I have the honor to call Karen my wonderful,kindhearted and sincere Lawyer. Her staff took her example,and what a pleasure to enter the offices of this most amazing lawyer with a heart of gold, and her love for people. After my first visit to Karen I left her offices with the impression that I was in the presence of an angel. She received me and my little poodle with open arms and put him at rest in her doggy's bed, she brought him clean water herself! I was so astonished and surprised by her friendly and warm character. She listened to my case with total sympathy and she assured me not to worry a bit! She won my case with a settlement even before the case could go to court. Then she took a second case that was very complicated and this time it was a case that should have been settled in the High Court in Durban. She acted aggressively and decisive with the other party's. This matter was settled within weeks!!! This case could have cost me a fortune, money that I did not have! Regarding the costs she proofed that money means nothing to her when it comes to the suffering of her fellow human beings! I thank God for such a dynamic person who loves what she does, but beg, not to be on the receiving end of this lady! As kind and loving as she is, so professional and decisive she can be! I thank God for what she did for me! I will forever be in her debt!

  • evashni govender

I met Karen and her team around mid end of last year with a mindset to relocate from one province to another,no matter what situation I faced as a single mum, I went from one court to another cause my baby's father tried everything to keep me from relocating with my baby boy and even tried to take him away from me,claiming he would do better,just to spite me and even through he knew I wanted to give our son a better life an upbringing and meeting ends meat where I was at, was just not possible. No matter what situation I faced,I had Karen an her team supporting me, with their help I've managed to get an interim order to grant me to take my baby with me to give him a better life. An if it wasn't for Karen an her team I would of lost all hope with the battles I've faced.I admire her fearlessness and persistance.I am so glad I did take her advice because my case is soon to become a success as the father is even defaulting on his visitation right over a month now nor does he even call to find out how his child is doing anymore, just as she said he would do.. I encourage parents who are in similar situations to go ahead with Karen's services. She knows exactly what she is doing and has an excellent team with her...She does not play by the games but play by the rules! I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a lawyer for family related issues.

  • Edwin Channing

Dear Karen Thank you for being a very big light at the end of a dark tunnel when it comes to my experiences with lawyers. In today’s world finding someone who cares is really impossible, to find this quality in a lawyer is near improbable but you have achieved this. Going above and beyond for a person, with their best interests at heart is something I can see you put first. You have been through thick and thin with me and my cases and in doing so never wavered from getting the original outcome you promised in the first consultation. You did tell me that your clients always come back to you again and again, I can see why now and I will be with them coming back time and again to get you honest helping experienced opinion on legal matters. Thank you for all your time and effort, in my case I will be seeing my son for Christmas and he will finally be able to have a Christmas morning with his granny and grandpa opening gifts and in the company of a true family. This has no price on it and through you I have achieved this which I have not had in my life for many years. Regards Edwin

  • gineane rall

I first came to The Law Offices Karen Olivier in January of 2018 after I was faced with having to find a family lawyer, and seeing their website and reading the reviews I choose to make an appointment . What I found was a highly professional and ethical Firm who care about their clients. The way that Karen and her team handled my Rule 43 and subsequently my divorce, and the care taken to make sure that the rights of my children were always kept in the forefront, really impressed me and I could rest easy knowing that my case was in the best hands possible. I would also like to mention that this is a firm that don't just help their clients through divorce or their cases and then are done and don't follow up with their clients. As I came to find that even after my divorce when I was faced with some legal issues that they have and are still working on my case for me. I would like to thank Karen and her team for their professionalism and for their care. I would give my highest reccomedations for this Law firm. Gineane Rall

  • Marelise van Achterbergh

She blew me away and swiftly settled my divorce without any any trouble and I have the up most respect for her and I'm sure so does the "opposite side lol"....Karen, you have given me another chance at life that became unbearable.....I will treasure you as not only my Attorney but a friend for life.

  • Yeshnee Naicker

My experience with Karen Olivier and her team was a rewarding and an empowering experience. Naturally I was nervous, scared and doubtful, nevertheless I was encouraged and motivated all the way through my journey by various members of the offices. I am so grateful that I fought through all those sleepless nights, kept positive and didn’t give up, because all the hard work that was put in by the wonderful people at Karen Olivier’s offices provided me with a positive outcome. I will always remember Karens’s words, “ Fight for it, because nobody else will and you deserve what you want for you and your child”. This experience has given me the will to fight harder and want more for my child and I. I hope that all single parents will be encouraged to take that huge first step with Karen Olivier and her team. I thank you Karen for your empathetic demeanor and ability to empower me to want to fight. I will forever remember you and will forever be grateful.

  • Yasmeen Paulus

I have never met a team of attorneys with that much spirit, determination, drive and fight! I brought what I thought was a near impossible situation to Karen Olivier in tears. I was crying so much that I couldn't speak. She calmed me down in that first call and moved her day around to make sure that she was able to see me that afternoon. My situation was extremely time sensitive and I brought it to them on a Friday. Karen Oliver and her team worked furiously through the weekend, including having an Advocate consultation on a Saturday morning. They drafted the necessary documents and my documents were served that Monday. We were in court on the Wednesday and even though we sat infront of what appeared to be an impossible Judge, the team pushed and pushed. My situation became something of the past and the team got me more than what I expected! A HUGE thank you to the amazing team at Karen Olivier Family Law.

  • Olivia DuPlooy

I had an case last year, where my child was wrongfully accused and had to sit in a disciplinary hearing at school. As a single parent, it was hard to understand why this happened. I gathered all the information I had, and searched on the internet for an Attorney to ADVISE me. The Law Offices of Karen Olivier popped up an I still believe I was sent by God to this family. Karen, the team and all the support staff she had provided for case were nothing short of impeccable. As traumatic and mentally draining my case was, Karen was always 'my true North'. There was no issue with time to email, text or call her. The best interest of my child as a mother became theirs. They gave my son a voice in High court went against the odds. I would definitely Recommend the Law Offices to Karen Olivier and hope you who read my review have the same amazing experience. They not just Attorneys, they become friends ❤️

  • Lin B

I stumbled upon Karen's law offices as an advert on Google I believe that it was devine intervention that made that possible. When I first consulted with Karen she was so positive in a situation that seemed impossible. She gave excellent advice and pushed through it all even when I couldn't see a way out she provided support and reassurance constantly advising that taking a chance would be better than waiting around or not trying at all. I admire her fearlessness and persistance. I am so glad I did take her advice because my case was a success in under 8 weeks I received a court order as a single~ parent to travel overseas with my daughter... I encourage parents who are in similar situations to go ahead with Karen's services. She knows exactly what she is doing and has an excellent team with her... I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a lawyer for family related issues.

  • Michael Olle

A divorce can be a terrifying and emotional experience. From the first meeting I had with Karen I knew that i was in safe hands. The level of care I received was what I call going above and beyond. I left with a new sense of hope knowing that I was being assisted by the best. You often hear the horror stories and warnings that lawyers will try and drag the process out but from day one Karen's goal was to get things finalised as quickly as possible whilst ensuring that I was protected. It only took 4 months to resolve what I thought was never going to end and thanks to Karen and her team I can start my life again. On the day of the divorce Karen took extra care to counsel me beforehand and make sure I was ready for the big day. This is a level of care you rarely see in the world today. Thank you Karen, Navi and the rest of the team, I will forever be grateful. Regards Michael Olle

  • Alizan Griffiths

I met Karen and her team a few months back, they have seen me laugh and even cry out of frustration, dealing with a relocation case which feels will never end. With court a few days away now, they have been there for me through hundreds of emails, questions and phone calls. For the first time I feel I have someone standing next to me and not against me. Court hasn't come yet but regardless they are with me and that in itself is a huge pleasure in having. They are on the ball and with someone like me who has never had to deal with court or lawyers has eased my mind over many things. They have treated me with care even through the frustration and tears. People you can trust and who don't sugar coat reality. They tell you how it is and are completely fair in all situations. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Court here we come...... lets have a great outcome.

  • Salome Govender

To whom it may concern, Going through a divorce is as if your marriage turned cancerous, and if you don't take the cancer out, it will consume you're till you're an empty shell. This is when lawyers come in as legal oncologists, to rip the cancer out. Divorce is painful but Karen Olivier and her dedicated team will listen and attend to all your concerns every step of the way. Advocate Damien Bond, on the team, will include every detail of your concerns and include them when the opportunity calls for inclusion. Together these dedicated legal eagles helped me deliver the legal punch I feel my ex deserved to receive, all legal and binding. Divorce is painful , but you have to fight and never give up. Peace is not a given, you have to take it. Be strong . I had to learn to trust my legal team and they never left me alone. Thank-you all so much.

  • Myan Nayagar

Karen Olivier - Thank you for assisting me with finalizing my divorce. It’s not every day one goes through a Divorce and it’s such a Traumatic Experience. Karen calmly dealt with my inconsistent moods, she spoke to me in the early hours of the morning when I was down and miserable, she constantly reassured me everything will be ok - and she made sure it was. Karen was more than my attorney- she was a friend and counsellor to me. She went beyond the call of duty . She made me feel worth it even when I didn’t feel worth it . A woman who is going through a divorce must have an attorney that is compassionate as well as good at what she does. Karen - My sincere thanks and must be blessed over and over again . You have humaneness l admire and I wish your business grows from strength to strength . You were truly God sent to me ❤️

  • Hemantha Ramdhani

Since my Divorce, 16 years ago, and having four different firms of Attorneys who did not under the complexities of FAMILY LAW. At our wits end in December 2019, after being given the wrong advices, we made an appointment with Karen Olivier, and the ball started rolling in our Court, being advised professionally, by herself, Ms Dunn, and Advocate we finally got our Court Order granted in our favor. Only delay in the matter was COVID19, but our matter was resolved less than 6 months, whereas the other Attorneys dragged their feet for almost a year. I recommend Karen Olivier and her team any day, as they believe in fighting for fairness, and the best interest of the parties involved. Thank you.

  • Allan Horner

The most amazing service from Karen Oliver . So proud to be associated with her and her beautiful team. Honesty and integrity above all. Give them a call 8 April 2023 Karen good morning! A complete feeling of euphoria. All thanks to you and your amazing team . There is nothing greater in the world than when an attorney believes in you and says " I have your back" Just when we were on the brink of losing all hope in our justice system. We found you No words can even Express our gratitude to you. What you doing for us is PRICELESS. An amazing feeling of hope and love and great confidence is restored within us. THANK YOU KAREN GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS TODAY AND ALWAYS.

  • Zoe Raynor

I have to say that Karen Olivier law offices is definitely law with passion. I went there not 100% sure if I was making the right decision, wanted divorce from anger. Karen spoke to both myself and my husband, gave us an hour to go out as she was preparing some paperwork, during that hour me and my husband spoke, went back to the office and somehow she knew we weren't ready for this road, seemed more like counselling in probably less than 10minute that felt like renewing our vows. We came in for divorce walked out holding hands. Did not charge a penny on top of that . Thank you so much for the amazing service LAW OFFICES OF KAREN OLIVIER

  • Natalie Christensen

Karen and her team helped me get divorced along with joint custody, after a very lengthy process of sole custody battles from both sides. We managed to go back to the original agreement of joint custody. Karen would work late nights with me with my case and always listened to my concerns and helped me. Karen's door was (2016) and still is (2019), always open for me who needed her guidance and strength to overcome any emotional battle or daily struggle. Thank you Karen and team for helping me though my high court days, custody battles, emotional days and just being there for me. Karen Olivier 5 star rating 100%

My children were kidnapped and Karen and the group of attorney’s had them back with me in two days. This is not just a law firm, Karen and her team literally held my hand, had a sense of urgency, kept me calm and ensured that I was in the right hands.Karen then proved it. I spent the day with the team as they took out a whole day to assist me on very short notice with whatever I needed to do.These individuals take every case with heart and passion and I take my hat off to Karen and her team. Thank you again for all that was done and this is the best family law firm in South African hands down.

We have been working with Karen and her great team for the past 11 months. We can honestly recommend them to our best friends, because they get the job done and do it with a human touch. They are professional and they care. Above all, they listen to a client's wishes and needs and do their best to meet those needs. We look forward to the successful relocation of our niece to live with us in Romania permanently this spring, April 2020 as we continue to work with Karen and her team this year to get our court order apostilled.

  • Lee-Anne Govender

Thanks to Karen and team that assisted me and explained everything to me in layman's terms throughout the whole process from start to finish so it was easy for me to understand since I'm not so clued up with the law and terminology etc. Given the timeframe in which they've had to do everything, there was still support up until the very end. Thanks to Miasha and team as well as Advocate Bond for representing me. For all of my legal requirements and representation, I will definitely be seeking your law firm in the future.

Seeking legal council can sometimes appear to be a really daunting experience, however, I am very pleased to acknowledge the diligence and professionalism of Karen Olivier and her Team. Both Karen and her Legal Team made certain that all processes were followed timeously with excellent results.

Heartfelt thanks once again on an amazing job ladies.

Where do I begin. It had been such a devastating mess that my ex-husband left me. Pregnant and with a toddler. He never paid maintenance since. I was at Karen’s office and I would cry into a mess. I have so much gratitude in my heart and I am thankful my kids got what they deserved. Karen and her team were absolutely Heaven sent angels they got the job done. God bless you all . Thank you so much to Karen, Carey-Ann, Adv Reddy, Miya and Adv Bond. They took the time to listen to my story.

  • Anneke Martin

First time I met Karen, a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Her infectious determination to accomplish my biggest battle left me in awe. Relocation matters involving children is never an easy one. I'm glad I chose Karen & her team to deal with this on my behalf. She is God sent! I highly recommend anyone in a position like mine where relocation is always a sensitive topic, to contact Karen. I cannot thank them enough that I can now take my children and build a better future abroad.

  • Tafadzwa Kasunzuma

Karen Olivier and her team were highly professional and compassionate in everything they did. They would always communicate where we were at every step of the way. They took what was a seemingly nerve wrecking experience (the shared custody of our two children) and skillfully navigated. They illuminated unknown waters and were the steady hand during this rodeo. I would highly recommend them for any matter that involves the family. They're reputation for quality is earned.

  • Rowan Mattig

Thank you Karen...Blessings

  • Sagina Langton

I met Karen and her team just under a year ago. Their professional and ethical services makes it that much easier to handle the circumstances one is faced with. Their compassion, kindness, humility and work ethics are of the highest standard. I have never regretted walking into their offices and they will be my first recommendation for anyone seeking help with legal matters. Karen, I have the utmost respect for you and your team. God bless

  • Chantal Rowe

Karen and her team are absolutely amazing, professional and passionate. "I had a terrible situation that I was dealing with, but thanks to this amazing lawyer's practice, I feel much better now. They were incredibly efficient and helpful throughout the process. Their support made a huge difference, and I can't thank them enough for their expertise and compassion. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need."

  • Avi M

Amazing service!!! I spoke with Naz, what a breath of fresh air! She calmed me down and helped me find clarity and positive steps forward. I also noticed that their services are truly based on helping people rather than just looking for clients to charge. They truly care and my positive experience was based on my interaction with Naz. Thank you Naz, you are definitely an asset and a wonderful human being.
