I needed to recoup a large amount of money I invested in an off-plan apartment in a development in RAK.

Back in 2008 we invested in a development in the land of Ras Al Khaimah.

The way that the UAE legal system works is a long, grueling and expensive process. However with the help of Ashraf and his team we managed to get our £40,000 back which we thought was lost forever. After this hanging over our heads for almost 10 years we finally got the resolution we wanted. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. I would 100% recommend Motei Associates.

After all our attempts to reach settlement with the developer proved fruitless, I met Ashraf El Motei. We had a 5 years long journey. Many times, I doubted the out-come.
