Peet Viljoen is a former South African attorney who was disbarred in September 2011. He is said to have amassed a multi-million rand net worth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a teenager, Peet was resolute in his decision to practice law. Hence, he moved on to study law at the university and was admitted as an attorney in 1995. He made millions while practicing law as he represented elite people in the country.<\/p>\n

Viljoen’s legal career, however, came to a halt when the Law Society of the Northern Provinces recommended that his name be struck off the roll following complaints by the public.<\/p>\n

Peet Viljoen’s passion for the law and justice saw him enroll at the University of Pretoria<\/a> for a B.Proc. He graduated from the university in 1994, and after completing his articles, he was admitted<\/a> as an attorney the next year. Having put his heart and soul into being a lawyer, Peet grew his practice over time and became popularly known as a celebrity lawyer.<\/p>\n

He represented<\/a> many public figures in the country, including singer Steve Hofmeyr, Springbok rugby players James Dalton and Joost van der Westhuizen<\/a>, as well as his former business associate, Visser du Plessis. Though he was driven by his passion for law, part of his success was motivated by his determination to prove to his family that he could be the first one in the family to successfully graduate and pursue a professional career.<\/p>\n
