Can I file a case against a law firm to recover fees paid along with damages?

Dear C.,

Thanks for your inquiry.

According to Article 880 of the UAE Civil Code, a lawyer is liable for any damages caused to their client as a result of their professional negligence or misconduct.

Therefore, if you have evidence that the law firm's actions caused you financial loss or damages, you may have a case to recover fees paid and seek damages.

To raise a case against the law firm, you will need to file a civil lawsuit in the appropriate court. This can be done with the help of a lawyer or through the assistance of the Legal Affairs Department.

You will need to provide evidence to support your claim, such as documents showing the fees paid and any other relevant information.

It is important to note that the ban on the law firm practicing law for 1 month may not automatically entitle you to recover fees and damages.

You will still need to prove that their actions caused you harm and that you are entitled to compensation.

I recommend seeking advice from us, so we can assist you with filing a civil lawsuit against the law firm.

We will be able to guide you through the legal process and help you gather the necessary evidence to support your case.

Kindly feel free to contact us by phone or email.

Greetings,

Yes, you can get the full amount provided that the decision issued in the complaint is final.

This depends on the reason for accepting your complaint.

If the reason is proven negligence by the lawyer resulting in the loss of your rights in your case, then yes, you have the right to file a lawsuit for compensation.
