My name is Dries Knoetze, a born and bred Goldfielder, who grew up in a small mining town known as Allanridge, near Welkom.

My passion for the law started at a young age, when I had to rely on my words and negotiation skills to get me out of trouble.

I completed my BA Psychology degree with law subjects at the NWU Pukke campus, where after I completed my LLB degree through Unisa.

Since being admitted as an attorney in 2014, I am currently a Director at the firm Neumann van Rooyen Attorneys and specialise in Litigation or dispute resolution.

 Although according to me there is no better thrill than to assist your clients in a litigation matter and cross examination, litigation entails sleepless nights and long hours, but to successfully assist your clients in court, makes the sleepless nights and long hours worth it.

In my free time, the little that I have, I spend  time with my family and friends and enjoy fishing.
