• End-of-service indemnity and the notice period.

Criminal lawyer in Kuwait

How to check a lawyer's registration

Before instructing any lawyer you are entitled to check their entry in the Kuwait Bar Association rolls. Abdullah Al-Bathali's registration number is 11620. It also helps to ask which court level the lawyer is admitted before, to ask for a written agreement defining the scope and the stages covered, and to be wary of anyone who guarantees the outcome of a case, because the judgment is the court's.
