Since we opened our doors in 2001, Houghton Harper has advised and acted on behalf of a great many clients: some of whom have been kind enough to provide us with testimonials. We show a small selection here.
“Hello Duncan, what you and your staff at Houghton Harper have done for me – during the past 8 years – most companies would have given up the ghost long time ago… but you guys just persevered and persevered that I even got tired of it. From the moment I was first referred to you in 2004 after having that horrific accident in which I could have been maimed for life, I was afforded nothing but courtesy and efficiency, and anything that I wanted to know was patiently explained to me. You met with my accountants, my staff, my attorney – you were on call virtually 24 hours a day. How many times you wrote and spoke to the RAF was worth your fees let alone court appearance, advocate briefings, actuary reports, goodness knows what else…I have two full files on this. It almost felt as if I were your only client and was treated with dignity and respect. We had to go through another boxing match this year again and due to your tenacity we came out tops. I would hate to think of people who don’t have you as their attorney…that is all I can say, to the extent that I am using your firm now for all my other requirements. Again, I will never be able to thank you enough” Audry Golden
“Thank you so much for all you have done for me over the past 9 years. I know it has been a long haul for you and I really do appreciate the fact that you hung in there and never gave up. The payment I have out of the settlement has made a huge difference in my life and for that I have to be grateful” Judy de Kock
“Legal matters are by their very nature stressful. And when their focus is emotionally bound, such as in the case of a divorce, possibly even more so. My experience of going through such an ordeal has, at many levels, been made more bearable through the professionalism, respect, detailed attention, skilled practice and advice of Houghton Harper’s attorneys and their support staff, especially attorney Duncan Houghton. His professionalism has at all times extended beyond me, his client, to the defendant and his team in this matter. Mr Houghton has been firm, but not inflammatory in championing my rights and my cause; expert, wise, thorough, strong and fair. He has guided my process with a concern for all affected, and with complete commitment. There has not been a moment when I have had the need to doubt his strength or ability professionally, or that he has my – and my family’s – best interests in mind at all times. He has presented my case with excellence, consistently seeking the best possible resolution, and has allowed me a relative peace of mind and confidence in what has been a protracted and very difficult matter. For all this I am deeply grateful to him. I have been very relieved to have had him on my side, and would recommend him and his colleagues at Houghton Harper without hesitation to anyone in need of legal advice and assistance” Tracy Murinik
“I would like to say thank you for taking my Road Accident Fund case and devoting so many hours into building up a worthy case. I am extremely happy with the outcome and today is the first time in years that I feel like I can start a new life with new beginnings and happiness. I’m sure my case wasn’t the easiest. I am very grateful for your determination and tenacity. This process has taught me many things about myself and if I didn’t go through it I wouldn’t be able to better my life and have a better understanding of how an accident can affect your life. Today I start my recovery and I only have your firm to thank” Candida van Dyk
“I want to take this opportunity to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all you did for my case. All the hard work and dedication you put in meant a lot to me. There were times when I didn’t want to start this case but you kept me going and I thank you for that. There was never a day that you weren’t friendly or helpful. You are simply the best and I do not have words to thank you for fighting my case the way you did” Fiona Enoch
“I was really impressd with your associates, advocates and attorneys and the way my case was handled. For the past five years in which my case was handled, I have not had to phone or email for an update. Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort” Imraan Cassim
