We keep the evidence and explain your options.

What going in alone can cost you
Up to 2 years in prison
or a fine, or both, for defamation in public.
Deportation
for a non-Qatari, if the court orders it.
Words you can't take back
What you say or sign in the first days shapes the case.
What you get
The Before-You-Reply Plan
Everything you need from the first complaint or summons to the end of the case, whichever side you're on.
Within the hour
Faysel reads your summons, complaint or messages himself and tells you where you stand.
Before you go
We find out exactly what the complaint says was said, who heard it, and whether it was made in time. You leave the consultation with a written legal opinion.
On the day
A lawyer attends with you and checks the record matches your words before you sign.
If you were insulted
We put what was said, the messages and the witnesses in order, and prepare the complaint in time if you decide to go ahead.
If you make peace
We draw up the settlement and the withdrawal of the complaint, before a final judgment.
Until the end
The same lawyer, from the police station to the Court of Cassation.
All of it starts with one WhatsApp message.
Why this works
We check exactly what was said and who heard it
The words, the witnesses, the messages, and the date the complaint was made.
A track record in criminal defence
Criminal cases like yours are a large part of our daily work.

Admitted before the Court of Cassation

A digital-first firm
You start on WhatsApp and send everything by photo or voice note.
One lawyer, start to finish
You never re-explain your case to someone new.
Our commitments to you
- Faysel replies to you himself, within the hour in working hours.
- Your first message commits you to nothing.
- The fee is agreed in writing before any work starts.
- Everything you send stays confidential.
Why today, not next week
Your first statement goes on the record.
Get advice before you give it.
Most of these complaints must be made within 30 days
of learning of the offence and who did it, if you decide to go ahead.
Witnesses forget and messages get deleted.
Write down today what was said, when, and who heard it.
Start in 3 steps
Send a photo of the summons, the complaint or the messages on WhatsApp. If it was said out loud, a voice note is fine.
Faysel reads it himself and replies within the hour in working hours.
You get a plain answer: where you stand, and the next step.
Questions people ask before they message us
Yes, perhaps more than anyone. Innocent people talk too much and sign too fast, and the record captures what was said, not what you meant.
A consultation is a fixed fee, with a written legal opinion. If you then ask us to take the case, the full fee is agreed in writing first.
Yes. You have the right to a lawyer, so ask for one clearly.
Yes. We work in Arabic and English.
Yes. For most insult, defamation and privacy offences, whether in public or in private, a complaint is not accepted after 30 days from the day the victim learned of the offence and who committed it (Criminal Procedure Code, Art. 7).
Usually. Most of these offences need the victim's complaint, and withdrawing it at any time before a final judgment ends the case (Criminal Procedure Code, Art. 10). If several people complained, all of them must withdraw.
Before you reply or sign, send us a photo.
