Michelle attended university of the Witwatersrand and obtained her LLB in 2007.
She was admitted as an advocate in 2016 and since then has been involved in many high profile trials. Including the “Rolex gang” and “Uber rapist”.
She believes that every case has a winning truth to it.
It may be hidden by complications, difficulties, or seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but there is always a truthful position that would allow you to succeed.
We must find that truth, have the strength and wisdom to advocate it, and thereby craft a just and genuine victory.
She is a formidable trial advocate and fights fearlessly to achieve justice for each and every client.
“I start every day with the knowledge that helping people and fighting for justice is my duty, and that nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice, self- discipline, and courage.”
Gail Sidwell
Advocate
I obtained my degrees from Wits University, BA and LLB.
I started practising as an advocate in 1984 as a member of the Johannesburg Bar. I was a member until 2001 when I resigned.
I have been a practising advocate since 1984, doing mostly criminal work. I have done legal aid work and private work.
I have practised in the High Courts and the Magistrate's Courts, doing a variety of criminal trials. This includes commercial crime, violent crime, drugs etc.
Apart from trials I have done numerous bail applications, applications for leave to appeal, petitions and appeals.
For a few years before 1994 I did work involving the security laws in this country, such as trials for public violence, possession of banned publications, incitement to unrest.
I have also done a lot of assessing with Judges in the High Court in criminal trials, including some notorious matters such as the Bruma Lake trial, the Jeppestown trial and the Leigh Matthews trial.
