Q: I had a loan which I have settled and paid off. Now the bank is telling me that they will clear it but I need to have a lawyer go to court on my behalf.
I am not living in the UAE anymore and I only need to get a police clearance certificate (PCC).
Do I need to get a lawyer to get the PCC? Or will the bank clearing be enough? If I do need a lawyer, how much will it be?

Hi,
I have leased out a shop in Dubai, but due to huge financial losses and my husband's job loss, I can't afford to pay the rent. Meanwhile, my landlord has filed a case for eviction and payment of rent.

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!
