About the Founder
"I spent over two decades in the SAPS before entering private practice. I know the system — and I know how to defend you inside it."
Simon Motha holds an LLB and is an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa. Before entering private practice, he served in the South African Police Service for over two decades — giving him an unusually practical understanding of criminal procedure, constitutional rights, and law enforcement from the inside.
That background is not incidental. It means Simon navigates criminal matters with a fluency most attorneys acquire only in theory — he has been in the charge office, the holding cell, and the courtroom. He understands procedure, police culture, and how cases are actually built and won.
Motha Attorneys was founded on a straightforward principle: quality legal service should not be limited to those who can afford city- centre offices or hours of travel. The digital model removes those barriers without removing the standard.
