How to revoke the POA of a lawyer for not doing anything with a personal injury case?

Greetings Sir/Madam

I want to get a legal advice on what to do, a friend of mine had an accident in Abu Dhabi.

I wanted to help by getting a lawyer to help her get an injury claim; the lawyer requested that I must pay upfront legal fee of 10% of the assumed claim of 300,000, which amounted to AED 30,000.

Upon paying, no payment agreement was given to me; I got only a receipt of payment.

It's over 7 months and the lawyer hasn't done anything on the case. I try calling the lawyer and he's refusing to pick up my call or contact me.

Please, I would like to know what steps I could take to get a refund back from the lawyer/advocate.

Thank you.

Hello,

You can place a complaint against the lawyer before the Ministry of Justice or you can write out a complaint to adjd.gov.ae against the lawyer.

For the case, you have to note what is insurance coverage your friend got before the accident.

Also, if it is not covered then you have to contact the insurance company for the same.
