Online legal consultation is not a replacement for court representation — but in many situations it is all you need, and in the rest it is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive mistake.
What an online consultation solves well
- Contract review before signing: sale, lease, employment, partnership
- Pre-purchase property checks: status, reservations, inheritance risks
- Knowing your rights: inheritance shares, dismissal, debt claims
- Procedural planning: which office, which documents, which legal deadlines
- Drafting review: powers of attorney and declarations before notarisation
What still needs in-person work
- Court hearings and actual litigation
- Notarial acts (issuing a wakala at Katib al-Adl) that require your physical presence
- Site inspections and expert visits
Even then, the process usually starts with one remote session that tells you: is your case worth pursuing, what will it roughly cost, and what is the first concrete step.
Prepare before the session
- Gather every related document — clear photos of deeds, contracts, certificates, correspondence
- Write a short timeline of events with dates and numbers
- List your questions, most important first
- Be completely honest with your lawyer; what you hide today will surprise you in court tomorrow
