Q: Hi I want to file a request for mercy to cancel my deportation order for drug possession. Can someone please assist me with what documentation should be attached to the legal memorandum? I have studied in the UAE and stayed in the UAE for 23 years. Please help to assist with what other documents are required with the legal memorandum. Thanks

Q: I’m seeking a lawyer for a case of wrongful deportation in contravention of the UAE Constitution “Part Three: Freedom, Rights and Public Duties” Articles 25, 26, 27 & 28. The victim was a Dubai resident with Emirates ID & 2 years to expiry. One afternoon 3 police officers not in uniform broke down the front door of their apartment without proof of ID. Once inside, the officers ransacked the apartment without explanation. The 2 residents showed legal papers including Emirates ID, work permits, and apartment rental. Nothing was found & the resident was asked to accompany the officers to a bus with other females. At CID headquarters the victim was not given any explanation, was refused a lawyer & tried to contact their embassy. Under duress, they were taken to a private room, photos & eye scans were taken then forced to sign papers in Arabic without any translation. The victim was held for 2 weeks and then deported without explanation. How can they challenge this case & return to Dubai?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My wife was working in the UAE from 2016 to 2018 and completely finished her contract. She got the cancelation of the papers from the company then she moved to another company. But the new company visa process got late from the date of the paper cancelation. So it expired and she did not exit the country at that time for more than 1 month. She went to her home country and she faced immigration at Dubai airport. They deported her for absconding and gave her an immigration ban. I tried in 2021 to get her a visit visa but that was also rejected. My question is how to come again to Dubai? Any possibility to check that at immigration?

Q: I submitted my mercy request in October 2023. Today I received this message from Abu Dhabi: ينظر الطلب في يوم الجلسة. What does this mean? Any idea? Thanks

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The law promulgates UAE Criminal Procedural Law (Penal Procedures Law) which governs criminal procedures in the UAE. This law applies to the procedures relating to offences whose punishments are not specified, dogma and punitive offences, and blood money, if they do not violate the Sharia rules.

This Law promulgates the Federal Penal Code (Criminal Law) of the United Arab Emirates. Crimes and chastisement punishments shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other penal codes.
