First, ask our AI legal assistant any UAE-law question and get free, plain-language general legal information in English or Arabic — it explains how the law generally works, but it is not legal advice and is not a lawyer.

Third, when you find the right person, create a free account to contact that lawyer through their profile. Each lawyer sets their own consultation fee, and that fee is paid directly to the lawyer — LEXAI does not process consultation payments and never sits in the middle. Start with a question, end with the right UAE legal professional.

Free legal help in the UAE — common questions

Can I get free legal help in the UAE on LEXAI?
You can get free general legal information, not free legal advice. LEXAI's AI assistant answers UAE-law questions in plain English and Arabic at no cost, so you understand how the law generally applies to your situation — but that's information, not a consultation, and the AI is not a lawyer. For advice you can act on, browse the directory of UAE lawyers and create a free account to contact one through their profile. Each lawyer sets their own consultation fee, paid directly to the lawyer; LEXAI does not process consultation payments.
How does an online legal consultation work through LEXAI?
LEXAI lets you handle the first step online and for free: ask the AI assistant your question, then browse UAE legal professionals online and open the profile of one who handles your matter. To reach out, create a free account, then contact the lawyer directly through their profile to arrange a consultation. The consultation itself, its format, and its fee are set by that lawyer — LEXAI does not run, schedule, or charge for the consultation, and the fee is paid directly to the lawyer. You browse and connect online; the lawyer takes it from there.
How do I find a lawyer for a consultation in Dubai?
Open the directory and filter by Dubai and your practice area to see lawyers who work in that emirate; browsing is free and needs no sign-in. Each profile shows the lawyer's specialties and languages, so you can compare before you reach out. When you've chosen, create a free account to contact the lawyer directly from their profile. Each lawyer sets their own consultation fee, paid directly to the lawyer — LEXAI is free to use and does not process consultation payments.
