I am an attorney in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, U.S.A. I emailed the Motei firm seeking assistance on behalf of a US manufacturing company which was pursuing a claim against a U.A.E. resident. I received a response within 24 hours. We had a meeting via Teams two days later and my client's issue was promptly addressed. The Motei firms communication and professionalism was truly exceptional.

I had a very specific legal property related issue with my tenant which I was not quite sure how to interpret UAE law with. I spoke with Mr. Remon who was very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. He was able to break down my case and refer to it by law leaving me with a comprehensive understanding on how to deal with my situation legally. Thank you Mr. Remon. I highly recommend anyone requiring assistance to contact MOTEI. Best wishes.
