A bit more about Lizelle
Lizelle’s favourite getaway is the West Coast town of Paternoster, where she recharges with a camera in hand or paintbrush at the ready. She’s inspired by the words of Einstein—
“Everybody is a genius…”—and believes that good legal advice, like good art, is never one-size-fits-all.
If she weren’t practicing law? She’d probably be caring for animals as a vet. Until then, she’s here to protect your interests and help you find the smartest way forward.
