15-minute advice session on criminal issues in the UAE

If you are facing a criminal charge, under investigation, or need urgent clarity on a criminal matter in the UAE, this 15-minute legal advice session is designed to provide you with quick, clear, and confidential legal guidance.

During this session, you can speak directly with a licensed criminal lawyer in the UAE who can help you:

• Understand the nature of the charges or accusations against you
• Clarify the legal process and what to expect during investigations or court proceedings
• Learn about your rights when dealing with UAE police or prosecution authorities
• Get initial strategic advice on how to protect yourself and respond appropriately
• Explore possible penalties or outcomes related to your case

This session is ideal for individuals seeking initial legal direction on matters such as:

• Criminal complaints and investigations
• Drug-related charges
• Driving under the influence (DUI)
• Assault, theft, or fraud allegations
• Defamation or cybercrime offenses
• Interactions with law enforcement

Whether you are a UAE resident or a visitor, this quick consultation can help you take the right first steps and avoid costly legal mistakes.

What's included

• A one-on-one 15-minute phone (or online) consultation with a licensed criminal lawyer in the UAE.
• Preliminary assessment of your legal issue and general legal guidance on how UAE criminal laws may apply to your situation.
• Clarification of your legal rights and obligations and advice on possible next steps or actions.
• Privacy. Everything you discuss with your lawyer is protected by attorney-client privilege.

What's not included

• Review of detailed documents, case files, or evidence.
• Drafting of legal documents or formal submissions.
• Representation before police, prosecutors, or courts.
• A comprehensive legal opinion or second opinion.
• Long-distance telephone calls. If you are based outside the UAE, then you will probably need to call the lawyer yourself or agree on some other way of voice communication.
• Ongoing legal assistance beyond the 15-minute session.

This is a short initial consultation meant to provide general legal guidance. Most people get the answers they need regarding their legal issues during the session, but if your case requires detailed review or representation – for example, you would like to file a criminal complaint with the Police or would like to be represented in the Court – the lawyer may recommend further services following the session.
