Your first consultation with Ittihad Legal Consultants is completely free. We believe you should understand your legal options before committing to anything. There are no hidden charges for the initial assessment.

After the free consultation, we provide a clear fee structure based on your specific case — no surprises.

Under Federal Decree Law No. 50 of 2022, bounced cheques in UAE can lead to both civil and criminal consequences for the issuer. As the recipient, you have two routes:

  • Civil route: File a civil claim to recover the amount plus legal costs.
  • Criminal route: File a criminal complaint — the issuer may face fines, travel ban, or imprisonment.

We typically recommend pursuing both simultaneously for maximum pressure and fastest recovery.

Timelines vary depending on the court and complexity, but typical ranges are:

  • Simple debt recovery (cheque bounce): 2–5 months
  • B2B commercial debt: 4–10 months
  • Contested cases: 8–18 months

Execution proceedings (to enforce a judgment) typically add 2–4 months on top. We work to expedite at every stage and often achieve out-of-court settlements faster.

Do not panic and do not make any statements without a lawyer present. This is your right under UAE law. Immediately:

  • Request to contact your lawyer or embassy
  • Do not sign any documents you don't understand
  • Have a family member or colleague contact us immediately on +971 52 179 5170

We handle emergency appearances and can often be present within hours of your call.

Yes. UAE Federal Law No. 41 of 2022 allows non-Muslim expats to apply their home country's divorce laws in UAE courts, or alternatively use the new UAE civil personal status law which provides a secular framework.

This includes provisions for equal divorce rights regardless of gender, with no-fault divorce available. Child custody and asset division can also follow more internationally recognized standards.

Absolutely. We regularly represent international clients — foreign investors, expats who have left UAE, and overseas creditors trying to recover money from UAE debtors.

Through a Power of Attorney, we can represent you fully in UAE courts without you being physically present. Consultations are available via WhatsApp and video call.

During your free consultation, our advocates will review your documents and give you an honest assessment — including realistic probabilities of success, estimated timelines, and likely costs.

We do not take on cases we don't believe in. If we feel your chances are poor, we will tell you plainly — and suggest alternative solutions like negotiation or mediation where appropriate.

Yes, travel bans can be removed — but the approach depends on the reason for the ban:

  • Financial disputes/cheque bounce: Settling the debt or reaching a payment agreement is usually sufficient. We can negotiate on your behalf.
  • Criminal case: Requires court order or case withdrawal. Timeline varies — typically 2–8 weeks once the legal matter is resolved.
  • Labour disputes: Filed through MOHRE — can be resolved in 2–4 weeks.

Your legal matter deserves expert attention. Now.
