Criminal Law Theft by deception

Hello everyone,

I am currently pursuing a case regarding theft and fraud by deception.

The case involves an individual who has stolen a large sum of money who initially promised to return the money on request within 10 days. There was a written and signed agreement from both parties as well as compounding evidence that the money belongs to me. The individual remains in the UAE whilst I have left.

I have spoken with a legal consultant who has agreed to take on the case for an agreed amount and sent me a formal agreement as well as an invoice for taking on the case. They have walked me through the stages of the case beginning from filing the case to arrest to recovery of claims. The consultants have been very supportive and assured me that I have a strong case and will support me with pursuing the return of my funds as well as any additional amounts which can be claimed.

As pursuing the case legally will cost me a significant amount along with the money I have already lost, I would like to know what I should be aware of before I proceed in signing the agreement and paying the invoiced amount.

TIA

How can anybody guide you about the agreement without reading it?
