How much do we charge for our services?

Due to the variation in complexity and intensity of each individual matter standard rates are not feasible, therefore BOLD reserves the right to assess each instance on merit and quote accordingly.

A standard consultation fee of R900 applies per appointment or per query.

Please submit your enquiry with the necessary detail on email under the CONTACT US section of our website and we will respond to your query within 24hours.

*The nature of our service is such that a short lead time necessitates after hour input from us to meet your deadline for proper preparation, therefore, please note that the shorter the lead time given to BOLD to provide assistance the more the escalation in the final fee.
