Author: Salem Khalaf Al Shammari 11 questions

  1. When do I need a lawyer?

    When a decision will have a legal effect that is hard to undo: signing a contract, receiving a court notification, ending an employment relationship, or a money claim that correspondence has not resolved. Early advice costs far less than repairing the damage afterwards.

  2. How do I get started with the office?

    Send a short description of your matter on WhatsApp to +966558987102, or through the contact page, without attachments at first. The message is reviewed to see whether it falls within the office's scope, and you receive a reply setting out the right next step.

  3. Does sending a request mean you have taken on my case?

    No. Sending a request does not mean the engagement is accepted, that work has started, or that a lawyer-client relationship exists. The scope of work and the fees are settled after the request is reviewed, a conflict check is run and terms are agreed in writing.

  4. How are fees set?

    After the request has been reviewed and the scope defined. The available options and the cost of each are set out in writing before anything begins, and no work starts without a clear agreement. There is no flat price list, because every file is different.

  5. Can I get a written legal opinion without engaging you for a case?

    Yes. Many matters are settled by a written opinion that sets out your legal position and the right step, with no engagement and no lawsuit. Its scope and fee are agreed before work starts.

  6. Do you act for clients outside Riyadh and Al-Jouf?

    The office's stated area of work is Riyadh and Al-Jouf. Matters outside them are considered according to the type of file and the procedure required, and the answer is made clear before anything is agreed.

  7. Can I send documents through the website?

    No. The site accepts no attachments and never asks for your ID number. How documents are handed over is agreed once the scope of the service is settled, to protect your privacy.

  8. How do I request notarization, and which documents are needed?

    First the type of transaction is identified: a contract, an acknowledgement or a power of attorney. The documents and attendance requirements are then explained according to the situation and the notary's established scope of authority. All of this is checked before the appointment, not after.

  9. How long will my case take?

    No single timeframe fits every case. It depends on the type of claim, the number of parties and whether the court needs further documents or an expert report. No timeframe and no outcome are promised.

  10. Do you publish client names or case details?

    No. Client names, case facts and client logos are not published, except with documented written consent and within what professional-conduct and privacy rules allow.

  11. What are the limits of the information on this site?

    The articles and answers here are general legal information. They are no substitute for reviewing the facts and documents of a specific matter, reading them creates no lawyer-client relationship, and they promise no outcome.

These answers are brief general information. They are no substitute for a review of the facts and documents of a particular matter.
