Looking for a good Lawyer in Abu Dhabi

[Transporter]

Hello,
Friend of mine, resident working in Dubai on a manager visa has had some trouble and unfortunately been blacklisted from Abu Dhabi. He's an Indian resident otherwise, on a manager visa. Anyone know how I can find him a very good Lawyer to help me, money no issue, but some form of effort must be made. Had a previous lawyer, taken money, but completely useless.
If anyone can help, would be great help. He's currently in an AD jail.

why was your friend blacklisted from Abu Dhabi? if he was just blacklisted, all it would take is for him to present a ticket back to home country, and he can get out of jail and directly to the airport. but if he has a pending case in Abu Dhabi, then it is not a simple case of being blacklisted, but the case has to be settled and resolved. in which case, you need to find an arabic lawyer who can help him. you can actually search on the internet, or, go to the Indian association in Sharjah to seek for legal assistance. your friend's first action should have been to contact this agency in Sharjah or your country's embassy as they would be able to refer him to a lawyer if he has a pending case. if he is simply blacklisted, you can buy him a ticket and he can get out of the country - but he will not be allowed to come back.

hi, thanks for your info, however the Indian Embassy have been useless.
He has been blacklisted from a case that finished a while back. I assume it must have come up again in "damaan court"? However, he could go back home, but thats not what we're hoping for. We were hoping to try and get a case going for him and somehow get him out back working again. He can't go home, he has nothing there, so would be a real shame for him.
So if anything, got to try and get him out.Any ideas?
