What does this area cover?
It covers the arrest itself, any warrant, detention at the police or prosecution, and the applications for release and bail.
These matters run against the clock, so we treat them as urgent from the first call.
How do you choose the right service?
If someone is held now, start with the arrest or detention service. If a bail request has been refused, start with bail refusal.
If a warrant exists but no arrest has happened, the warrant services apply.
What should I do first?
Call at once
Detention periods run from the moment of arrest.
Give us the person's details
Full name, passport or ID, and where they are held.
Do not let them sign alone
Statements should be read and checked first.
Tell us about any warrant
We confirm what exists before any step is taken.
Call us on +971 50 653 1334 or message us on WhatsApp. We answer at any hour.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help if the person is abroad?
Yes, where the case is in the UAE. We advise on safe return and on the warrant position.
Is bail always possible?
No. It depends on the offence, the stage and the circumstances. We tell you what is realistic.
