Why This Matters
Harassment can make daily life unbearable, leading to stress, fear, and uncertainty. Without legal expenses insurance, many individuals may not have the financial means to seek legal protection. Access to affordable legal representation ensures that victims of harassment can take the necessary legal steps to regain their peace of mind.

The Situation
Our member from Windhoek was facing continuous harassment and threats from a former employee. The situation escalated to the point where he feared for his personal safety and that of his family. Feeling helpless and unsure of what legal options were available, he turned to LegalWise Namibia for assistance.

How LegalWise Helped

• Expert legal guidance – Our legal counsellor explained the steps involved in applying for a Protection Order, ensuring the member understood his rights.
• Legal documentation – We drafted the necessary documents required for submission to the police and the court.
• Court assistance – Our legal team assisted in ensuring the Protection Order was successfully issued, legally barring the harasser from making further contact.
• Immediate relief – With the Protection Order in place, the harassment stopped immediately, allowing the member to regain his sense of security.

What Our Member Said:
“You rescued me from harassment and threats. I truly appreciate your hard work and effort! Without LegalWise, I wouldn’t have known where to start.”

Why This Matters
Falling behind on home loan payments can be devastating. Without proper legal representation, individuals risk losing their homes, facing eviction, and suffering severe financial hardship. LegalWise Namibia provides members with expert legal assistance, ensuring that they have options when facing financial distress.

The Situation
Our Windhoek member was struggling with monthly bond repayments and had fallen into arrears. The bank had already initiated repossession proceedings, and she faced the imminent risk of losing her home. Unsure of how to negotiate with the bank, she turned to LegalWise Namibia for help.

How LegalWise Helped

• Expert negotiation – Our legal counsellor engaged with the bank’s attorneys, ensuring that the member’s financial situation was properly presented.
• Settlement agreement – A new structured repayment plan was negotiated, preventing further legal action.
• Stopped repossession – The member was able to retain ownership of her home, avoiding eviction and financial ruin.

What Our Member Said:
“The service was excellent! We only wish we had joined LegalWise Namibia sooner. Without LegalWise, we would have lost everything.”
