We Know Legal Costs Add Up — Let Us Help
Legal proceedings can be lengthy and expensive, and we understand the pressure that comes with managing those costs. That’s why we offer a special discount on audio recordings exceeding 10 hours — to help ease the burden and support your case without compromise. Because justice shouldn’t come with a price tag you can’t afford.
If you are unable to send us your recordings electronically, we have a free courier collection service in Gauteng for recordings exceeding 5 hours.
