Dear Questioner

Please note that if the amount is less than AED 100,000, we can open a file before the Department of Reconciliation and Mediation tab in Dubai Courts.

For whatever higher, we can open a civil case.

Hello Sir,

If I hire a lawyer, is there a way that I can directly pay a fine to the court and not to be required to go to the police station (as per the procedure) to get my case cleared?

Is it possible to do so? or going to the station and surrendering is the only option?

Please suggest.

Going to the Police Station and surrendering is mandatory for Criminal cases!

We can help you to speed up the process of going out the same day and process other steps like to stop the search, issue a letter from the Police of the case clearance...etc.

Hello,

How much is your fee to help me with the above case? I also need to get things cleared on the same day.

I suggest you come to our office for a meeting to see all the documents related to this subject.

We will be able to advise you on the exact process, costs and fees involved.

If you decide to go forward the meeting fee will be deducted from the total fee for handling the case!

The meeting fee is USD 300 per hour.

Hello,

I have a rent cheque case of AED 52,350 and have paid fine on the court and come out.

Can they apply for a civil case on me again? Have heard that for a civil case, the minimum value should be AED 100,000.

Please note that they can apply for the civil case against you.

It will not be before the Dubai Courts. It will be before another department of the court and their report can be taken directly to execution.

Paying the fine does not entail you a safe escape to your debts.
