Criminal Law in Fujairah
Criminal law is federal, applied through the UAE Penal Code, and in Fujairah it is enforced by Fujairah Police, the Public Prosecution and the Fujairah Federal Courts. Early intervention at the police and prosecution stage often shapes the outcome, and the emirate's distance from Dubai makes local presence at hearings and police procedures essential.
We act at every stage: complaints and responses, travel bans, bail, trial and appeals, in matters from financial and cheque-related disputes to breach of trust, fraud, cybercrime and offences arising from port and shipping activity. Our court specialists attend in Fujairah in person.

Frequently asked
A complaint was filed against me in Fujairah. What first?
Do not respond to the police or prosecution without advice. Contact us before any statement; the first interview shapes everything after it, and we attend with you in Fujairah.
Can a bounced cheque lead to criminal action?
Since the 2022 reforms most bounced cheques are a civil matter enforced directly, but bad-faith cases remain criminal. We assess which applies and act on both tracks.
