Hello, I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business. Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques. We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation. Thank you!

Hello, I have given a POA to a lawyer to fight my case, but now I got to know his professional license expired 20 days ago. Is it allowed for him to represent me in court with an expired license?

Hello, An investor has a residence visa valid until February 2027; however, he wishes to close the company before the current license expires in December 2025. Can the investor still legally reside in the UAE until the residence visa expires?

My new employer is not changing my visa status and refuses to provide cancellation papers, especially when I don’t recall signing any cancellation documents and haven’t received my gratuity yet. How can I register a complaint against my employer for holding my passport after visa cancellation? I had completed my one-month notice period and followed all procedures properly when I resigned. I'm currently working in a free zone company.

Hello, I had a case regarding fraud by technical means, and we did a tanazul. It was attested and submitted to the court, but the case still hasn’t been dropped and is now with the public prosecution. What do I do now, as I need to travel urgently?

Hello, I joined my employer in Dubai mainland 5 months ago. I gave him all the documents necessary for visa processing including the visa cancellation letter, but since then, he has not processed the visa. I am now in overstay.

Hi, I am an employee working here in Dubai, UAE for 10 months now. I'm planning to file a leave for 2 days, however, my colleague informed me that as per the company policy, they consider it as absent then I will get a full basic + accommodation only. So I am confused now because this was not the practice in the previous company. Appreciate it if I could get free advice on this matter.

Dear sir/madam, My employer asked for my termination and we agreed on the amount to be compensated. Is it right for me to sign any cancelation documents before getting my money?

Hi. My new employer renewed my ID and visa. The only thing is that when my Emirates ID and visa were done, they didn't show me any contract nor did I sign it. They didn't provide me with a copy of it. So I want to ask if I can complain regarding this matter? Thanks in advance.

I'm under an unlimited contract. I'm already 8 years in the company. My visa and ID will expire on Jan 29, 2022. My labor card will expire on Dec 19, 2021. On Nov 20, 2021, I already sent the notice thru email that I'm not seeking for renewal. If that is so, when is my last day of work? Please I need your advice. Thank you
