Q: I caught a girl urinating in front of my door in a flat. When I opened the door, she pushed back.
I managed to get a hand thru and tried to pry her hands off the door handle. She bit me. I was able to pull her hair and she did too.
Eventually, we both got tired and I called the police. I have decided to push for an assault case.
Will I win? What will happen to me? Will I be able to get compensation?
Aside from her bite mark, I also have bruises. Will she have something against me too?
Please advise.

View allHow to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
