Wentzel and Partners Attorneys Company Information

General information

During the year 1994 two young, intrepid, lawmakers by the names of Chris Wentzel and Wikus Kriel decided to open the firm of Wentzel and Kriel Attorneys at Corner House in the CBD of Kempton Park. The two friends worked tirelessly, often late into the night, to build their practice. The firm initially supplied legal services in the fields of Criminal Litigation, Civil Litigation in the Magistrate’s Court and High Court and debt collecting.

The firm grew at a steady rate and branched out into the field of Immigration Law, which became one of it’s principal focal points.

Hugo van der Westhuizen joined the firm as a Professional Assistant in the year 2000 and became a partner two years later, along with Chris’s brother Hermie Wentzel, who similarly joined the firm as a partner. Shortly after Hugo and Hermie’s arrival at the firm, it’s name was changed to the current Wentzel and Partners Attorneys.

Jan- Louis Hattingh joined the firm as a Professional Assistant during the year 2005.

During the latter stages of the year 2006 Chris, Wikus and Hermie decided to go to pasture in the lovely wine lands of Robertson in the Cape Province where they currently farm, successfully run a hardware franchise, develop property and occasionally Golf.
