Q: Hi, I have an ongoing harassment issue with a former colleague. She created fake Facebook accounts and sent messages to my family and friends accusing me of adultery and threatening. At that time, I did not know who she was as all the accounts were fake, however, yesterday she sent a package to my family with a document of my photos, WhatsApp messages, and allegations against me. She also sent me abusive emails for months which included threats of defamation and threats against my family, but I did not reply. She bombarded my employer pretending to be my wife, requesting my HR records. I had to leave my jobs because of embarrassment. I decided to report her to the police, however, because of work commitments, I am in the UK and will only return in January. The police have advised me to return and file a case. I would like two services: 1. Send a cease and desist letter to the person harassing me to stop. 2. Represent me whilst I am abroad to pursue this case.

Q: My ex-boyfriend and I broke up last Feb 2016 and now he is back, stalking me at my workplace and sending me threat messages. I am afraid to file a complaint with the police as it might just land me into trouble since he is an ex-boyfriend. Please advice. Thank you.

Q: Good day, My name is Roy, and I'm a Filipino citizen working in Abu Dhabi western region as a massage therapist for 2 months now. I have a limited contract, and I want to quit now due to the unhealthy environment here in the company. This is because of the bad experience here with the management and the customers, and most customers here are forcing me to do bad things such as suck their private parts, massage their private parts, and so much more. I cant take this anymore and I want to resign because this is traumatizing me in many ways emotionally and mentally. How can I go without penalty? My manager and my boss don't let me go and they don't understand my fear and feelings please help

Q: Hello, I am looking for legal advice, related to a received letter (email) that may contain threatening content. So, I would require advice if there are conditions for opening a case in Dubai Court against the perpetrator, based on Art 351 of the UAE Penal Code.
