Most Common from Asir: Criminal Cases
Of all the practice areas above, this is the one we receive most often from the region, so we cover it in more detail. We start by studying the arrest report, the evidence and the legal characterization of the incident, then prepare the defense statement, objection memoranda and release requests, and follow the case before the Criminal Court in Abha or the Court of Appeal in the Asir Region.
Drug Cases
The distinction between use, possession and dealing, how quantity and prior convictions affect the sentence, and questions of acting as an intermediary and deportation linked to the verdict.
Assault on Healthcare Practitioners
The Asir Region is a regional healthcare and education hub, and these cases arise frequently there. We handle the defense or pursue the practitioner's rights, and prepare the statement based on the elements of the offense.
Self-Defense and Fights
The conditions and limits of legitimate self-defense, the legal characterization of fights and injuries, and how these affect criminal liability.
Also: Absconding and Absence Reports and Employment Termination
The second most common matter we receive. We prepare the statement of claim and memoranda and follow the hearings through Najiz before the Labor Court in Abha, in the most frequent issues:
Absconding and Absence Reports
The legal difference between the two reports and the effect of each, proving that a report was malicious and having it lifted, and recovering the worker's rights after it is cancelled.
Resignation, Termination and Compensation
Rules on termination under Article 77 and how compensation is calculated, termination for legitimate reasons, and end-of-service award and outstanding entitlements.
Forged Sick Leave
The criminal and disciplinary characterization of forging sick leave, and its effect on the contract and on legal liability, including cases involving military personnel.
Articles That Explain What You Are Looking For
Many of the questions we receive already have a detailed written answer. Start there, and if your case still needs a specific opinion, submit it to us. The following is general awareness content and is not a substitute for legal advice.

The statutory penalties and the difference between dealing and possession.

Questions Asked by Residents of Asir
A Huroob (absconding) report was filed against me, but I never left my job — what should I do?
A malicious report can be disproved with evidence of attendance, correspondence and proof that the employment relationship continued. Once malice is proven, the report can be lifted and your rights recovered. Your documents are reviewed first to determine the right course of action. Details are in our guide on the difference between an absconding report and an absence report.
What is the difference between use, possession and dealing in drug cases?
The legal characterization depends on the facts of the incident, the quantity and the surrounding evidence, and the statutory penalty varies significantly accordingly. Reviewing the arrest report and the evidence is the starting point of any defense.
Can an heir request a re-division of the estate after an agreement has been reached?
Yes, in specific cases set out by law, such as unfairness (ghabn), an error in the heirship deed, or the emergence of an heir or an asset that was not included. Each case is reviewed against its documents before a claim is filed.
Are your services limited to criminal and labor cases?
No. We work across all practice areas: personal status, inheritance, real estate, commercial, administrative, enforcement and pensions. Criminal and labor cases are simply the ones we receive most often from Asir, not the only ones.
When can an administrative decision be challenged?
A challenge depends on whether the decision meets its required elements and validity conditions, and on the statutory deadline for challenging it — missing the deadline forfeits the right. We review the decision and its attachments to identify the grounds for challenge before the deadline expires.
I am in Abha — do I need to visit your office?
The firm does not have an office in Abha, and most procedures are handled entirely remotely. Hearings that the court decides to hold in person are arranged in advance, with their cost agreed separately.
Do I need to visit the Notary Public to issue the power of attorney?
No. The power of attorney is issued from your Najiz account, with its powers and duration set electronically. We send you the list of required powers for your type of case before it is issued.
How are fees calculated?
Fixed-scope services — such as legal opinions, drafting and preparing memoranda — have a published price inclusive of VAT. For litigation, the facts of the case are studied first, and you then receive a written fee quote before any commitment.
