I have a misdemeanor case under investigation. What can I do and what can I expect? I got involved in a bar fight when my friend was punched in the face by the complainant. When I was about to approach him to ask him about it, he shoved me in the head. I lost balance and I grabbed him, and we both fell down, then my friend and his colleagues started beating him. CID called me for an interview, telling me that the guy complained about his watch, which I didn't steal. Then he also complained about the harassment. Which I didn't do as well. Now, the report is saying that I have charges of indecent assault, public intoxication, causing a riot, and public cursing. Please help me decide what to do! I'm considering hiring a criminal lawyer to help me with this.

My friend used my credit card for his bill payments and purchases for his business of around AED 70k. He used my two credit cards, and now he is not repaying them. I tried to call and message him, but no reply. How can I recover this money?

I am seeking legal advice regarding a chargeback/fraud issue initiated by a customer who has reversed payments for products/services that were fully delivered.

We are restructuring our existing business and plan to introduce employee shareholders as part of a retention plan. We require a shareholders’ agreement that governs their profit participation, limits voting rights to certain decisions, and sets a buy-back policy if they leave the company. Could your legal team prepare this for us?

Dear Team, I seek your assistance regarding a financial matter. I have an outstanding credit liability in Saudi Arabia amounting to approximately 80,000 SAR. I left the KSA in early 2023, and I now plan to travel to the UAE for a week. Could you please advise whether a travel ban in Saudi Arabia extends to other GCC countries, and if there is any potential risk of arrest or imprisonment upon entering the UAE under these circumstances?

Sir, I came to Dubai in 2011 on a visit visa and got a job in a company in Dubai, which delayed my employment visa. One day, a government representative visited our office and took my passport. Later on, I was deported and got a ban forever, although I paid an AED 1000 fine as well. Is there a way to lift this ban, as I didn't commit any crime? It's just because of that company that delayed my visa. Please suggest.

I have not received my final settlement or end-of-service benefits. I am a single mother sponsoring a child, and urgently need to regularize my visa status to be able to work again.

I had a criminal case registered against me due to a telegram scam in Dubai. But I didn't know about it. It's been more than 6 months, and now I know about the case against me again. Can I appeal it in court, or will the judgment be enforced now?

Hello, In short, I have an issue with [-----] Properties as an owner in [-----]. They want to impose on me fines and huge additional charges (over 40,000 AED) for modifications that were executed before I purchased the property, and after they have provided a NOC. They have also been absent for over 2 months and have not replied to my questions. I would like to know what my options are, what the risks are if I ignore their demand, and any other relevant information on the topic. Thank you in advance!
