\n TESTIMONIAL: After purchasing a property off plan in Dubai during 2005, just like many foreign overseas investors, I found myself in the untenable position of having paid stage payments to a local Developer as stipulated in the original Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) but with no evidence of construction work having begun onsite by the 2007 property completion date stated in the original SPA, I embarked on what would prove to become a very lengthy 10 year “rollercoaster ride of litigation”.<\/p>\n
Initially utilising the services of a UK Solicitor, approaching Dubai International Arbitration Center (DIAC) myself, after receiving poor legal advice that it would be difficult to bring a case against the Developer on clauses contained within my property SPA. Engaging a local Dubai Solicitor, whom despite winning my enforcement case & successfully defending an appeal by the Developer through Dubai Cassation Court to overturn the enforcement order granted on my DIAC award, finally informed myself that there was “no possibility” that I would ever be able to enforce the DIAC award & collect any money from the Developer due to the developing company having no legal assets.?!! <\/p>\n
Contacting “Motei & Associates” offices in early 2016 with very little hope of being able to collect the hard fought DIAC award, “even though I had successfully defended the award through the entire Dubai Court legal process over the past 5 years” I met with Ashraf El Motei at his Dubai office. Ashraf’s pragmatic overview of my case & his resolute belief that he & his team could succeed where others had tried & failed was the “positive reinforcement” I had been waiting so long to hear to resolve what had become a “nightmare litigation journey” with a subplot worthy of any farcical sitcom!<\/p>\n
Ashraf & his team worked tirelessly on resolving my arbitration enforcement case, providing accurate updates throughout every stage of the process with Ashraf ‘s astute perceptiveness & patience proving pivotal to successfully enforcing my DIAC award through the Dubai Court process to a positive conclusion in October 2017 for which I will be eternally grateful.<\/p>\n
Motei & Associates corporate ethics, unwavering professionalism & honesty puts them top of my list for legal representation globally! Thank you All so much for your hard work.<\/p>\n

\n TESTIMONIAL: “La Hoya Bay (LHB) was a well-known development project on Al Marjan Island in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. I had a dream of living on a paradise island with my small family. In 2008, I invested my entire saving into a 30% down payment of an apartment in LHB. Few months later, a never-ending story begin. First, the financial crisis hit the world, then reality of our dream project came to the surface. More than 800 investors had invested in a project, which never existed and would never see the light!<\/p>\n
In 2012, after all our attempts to reach settlement with the developer proved fruitless, I met Ashraf El Motei, of Motei & Associates, for the first time in his office in Dubai. I was in a group of investors who decided to pursue a legal action against the developer. <\/p>\n
We had a 5 years long journey with Ashraf. Many times, I doubted the out-come. I began to realize that our investment was gone and would never come back. Suddenly, one day, I got an e-mail from Ashraf with an image of my cheque. Is it true? I could not believe it. Finally, we got our victory. I was moving to the next step and was starting to forget about this bad experience. I had to move on with my family.<\/p>\n
However, Ashraf never gave up. From the first day, he had demonstrated great dedication and understanding not only to our case but also to our frustration, being simple people who only wanted to pursue their dream. Now, at the end of this long journey, I only can thank him for his tireless effort to secure the future of my family. Thank you, Ashraf. God bless your family.”<\/p>\n
