I place a high premium on honesty, integrity, loyalty and strong moral values in everything I do. I believe that credibility, recognition and trust can only be earned through constant hard work and consistent results. I have an inherent dislike in the so-called “grey areas” and believe that what you compromise you will ultimately lose. I value family- and friendship as an integral support base. My objective is to be the best at what I do where I am without fear or failure until my last day.

-
I’m Sharman McGill and I am a wife, and mother to two lovely children. (now adults) In between bringing up my children, I worked as a Notary and Conveyancer at various law firms and also had my own practice. Once I started home-schooling my daughter, I closed my practice. More recently I have been wanting to get back into Notarial and Conveyancing work and I am delighted to join Renier in his practice.
I studied at The University of Natal(PMB) and qualified as an attorney in 1997 and as a Notary and Conveyancer in 1999.
