OUR STORY
Because your rights, are non-negotiable!
Legal Hero steps up to secure justice in an uncertain world where legal threats are likely, skills are scarce and only a minority can afford the law. Determined to leave this world a better place, Legal Hero endeavours to not only provide quality legal assistance at an affordable monthly premium, but also to empower the policyholder when it comes to legal education, because when it comes to your rights, there should be no grey area.
Legal Hero specialises in criminal, labour, civil and family law. Life’s legal villains are frightening and come in all shapes and sizes, such as unfair employers, untrustworthy sellers, and nasty divorces.
When life happens, we stand tall and get ready to defend you against injustice, protect you against uncertainty and ensure you are empowered to action your rights.
