Q: Hi. I would like to inquire how much do you charge for a consultation because I need some legal assistance regarding loaned money. Someone owes me a big amount of money, AED 51,000 to be exact. I lent them an amount of AED 60,000 which they would pay on a monthly basis for 24 months. However, after 3 months of paying, they haven’t paid until now. I would like to get a quote on how much would it cost to have a legal assistance in such case like this. Thank you.

Q: I am being chased by a person claiming that I owe her money, with no any legal documents. This person previously during a conversation threatened me to get me deported.

س: أخذت ١٠ آلاف دولار ورث. أبي أخدها مني لعدم بلوغي سن الرشد في ذلك الوقت ولدي وصل البنك لتحويل المبلغ مني إليه، فهل هذا يكفي لاسترداد حقي إذ أنه لا يريد إعطائي أموالي بحجة أنه أنفق عليّ؟

س: السلام عليكم، أرسلت حوالة بنكية لزوجي على سبيل الدين وأطالبه بردها ويرفض ولدي كشف حساب البنك الذي يُثبت التحويل. هل سأحصل على المال إذا رفعت عليه قضية؟

س: السلام عليكم، أرغب أنا وقريبي في إثبات دين بشكل صوري أمام العائلة لأسباب عديدة. ما الشكل القانوني لهذا الإثبات؟ هل هو سند أم ماذا؟ وهل يمكن عمل ورق ضد لينتفي هذا الدين لإثبات صوريته؟ مع العلم أن كلانا يقيم في دولة الإمارات.

س: السلام عليكم، أعطيت شيكًا لشخص مقابل دين 35000 درهم وأعطيته بعد مدة مبلغ 5000 درهم وقبِل تقسيط باقي المبلغ. بعد 15 يومًا من دفع 5000 درهم أدفع باقي المبلغ كاملاً أو يشتكي. ما الوضع القانوني في هذه الحالة؟

Q: Dear Questioner, I want to send a legal notice, but I don’t have the Emirates ID of one of the parties. I have the Emirates ID of the other parties, but the ID of one person is missing, the person to whom I transferred money.

Q: My cousin who lives in Dubai took around AED 280000 from me on December 2023 for business and he told me that within one month he would return the money back with profits. Now it's been almost a year he has not returned my money back. I have no written contract. The only proof I have is WhatsApp chats, videos, and voice messages of him that he received money from me and that he would return it back within one month. In August 2023 I told him that if you don't return my money, then I would hire a lawyer and do a case. Then his father returned almost 20% of the amount back in August 2023 and told me the remaining amount I would receive from them by the end of November or December 2023. But now they are not giving me the money and telling me to go to the police or hire a lawyer, file a case do whatever I want to do. Kindly please advise me if hiring a lawyer in Dubai will be helpful or not. Will I be able to recover my money in Dubai in a legal way in such a case?
