What Our Clients Say About Us:
-
I highly recommend Lawyer Mohammed Nas for anyone looking for honest and reliable legal guidance. What sets him apart is that he always tells you the truth.he won’t promise something he cannot deliver, and he won’t give you false hope just to gain a client. His straightforward advice, clear explanations, and commitment to doing things the right way make him someone you can truly trust. If he says he can do it, he will and if he can’t, he will be upfront about it. That level of honesty is rare, and it’s what makes him an outstanding lawyer. He was my last hope, and i wish that from day 1 i went to him instead of other law firms.

June 19, 2025This law firm was incredibly great helping me on my custody case. I had a very complicated international custody related case of my 6 year old daughter, and the way they handled the case to defend my rights as a foreign visitor, using UAE law, past cases and precedents from higher courts in the UAE, international and UAE rules of jurisdiction, common sense and justice, gave a chance to my daughter to be raised the way every child deserves, and they were relentless trying to help me and my daughter. The entire team was great, and a special thanks to Attorney Mr. Nahhas, whom was available to communicate directly with me even after hours and weekends as needed. The entire team at Othman Al Marzooqi Advocates gets a 6 stars rating from me as everyone involved was very helpful in all stages and levels of my case.

February 3, 2025I am Truly Thankful to the entire team of My Family Lawyer (Othman Al Marzooqi Advocates) for getting me through such a complicated / challenging case and finally winning the case at Cassation under Hindu laws. This was one of the most complicated and challenging cases that UAE had ever seen, with the family laws of India being applied in the UAE. As this was a one-of-a-kind / rare case that UAE had ever seen, Mr. Muhammad Nahhas understood the Hindu laws and provided detailed explanations to the Authorities to comprehend the matter. Mr. Nahhas thinks completely out of the box, and with his knowledge and ideas, I was able to arrange strong supporting documents from India that helped the UAE authorities understand Hindu Laws, and finally, I was able to get Justice. This was a very difficult complicated case, with very little hope of getting through such a case, as it required in-depth understanding of the Hindu laws, with a detailed explanation of the Hindu law being provided. Mr. Nahhas created a strong foundation, and with his meticulous drafting of documents, the Authorities were able to comprehend such a complicated matter. With the expertise of Mr. Nahhas and his extensive knowledge and guidance, I was able to win such a challenging case in the UAE, with the family laws of India being applied. A Special Thank you to Mr. Muhammad Nahhas for putting tremendous effort and working with determination to make sure that we win this case with no stone left unturned. Mr. Nahhas’s work is truly exceptional. As I handed over the case to My Family Lawyer (Othman Al Marzooqi Advocates) during Appeal and within such a short frame of time, we were able to win this difficult case. They worked with only one purpose – “TO WIN,” and because of this mindset “WE SUCCEEDED.” A Special Thank you to Mr. Othman for hearing us out, understanding our concerns and apprehensions, and working with his team with utmost dedication. This was an exceptional case, setting a groundwork for the UAE to comprehend the Hindu Family Laws. A Sincere Thank you once again to My Family Lawyer (Othman Al Marzooqi Advocates) and its entire team. I will never forget the efforts that the entire team has made to win this case. I hope my win serves as a stepping stone and helps other Indians or expatriates to get over similar situations. I would also like to thank the UAE Authorities for standing by a just cause & giving me justice.

Absolutely Amazing!! I came to my family lawyer at a time of confusion and fear. I didn’t know the laws in Dubai or how to go about and they took absolute excellent care of me.

The best part is the know the law which helps you get a fair chance of getting to the other end. I would 1000% recommend them to everyone. Thank you again team!!
