I bought property and needed a consultation regarding eviction notices and tenancy laws. I consulted HPL based on their good reviews, and indeed was a positive experience.
I talked to Ludmila via zoom for 30 mins. She is thorough, knowledgeable with a keen attention to details. She even asked someone to cross the Arabic translation of the eviction notice to ensure it matches the English text. She answered all my questions, explained to me how the system works and gave me all the needed steps to follow in order to achieve my objective.
I am happy that I chose her services, and like many other previous reviewers, I highly recommend her firm.

I am juma lutaaya, I would like to share my wonderful experience with HPL Yamalova & Plewka DMCC for their professional service extended towards handling my Daughter's Visa's Process here in the UAE. I had found a hard time with different Travel Agencies, facebook scammers regarding the process as I had received a few fines. However with the help of HPL Yamalova & Plewka team I was able to successfully attain my daughter's visa and avoid the fines. I am eternally grateful for all their support and assistance and can not thank them enough. Truly a gem in Dubai.

I've worked - and taken advice from - with HPL Yamalova & Plewka for some years. I've spent time with the team working on their Lawgical podcast series and have to say that, in my humble opinion, this is a law firm that puts its clients first. The team is young, talented and dynamic, to say the very least and it's a firm led by the inimitable Ludmilla Yamalova whose knowledge of the UAE legal system is incredible. This is a firm that tries it's best to help its clients and that will go the extra mile for them. They go out of their way to offer clear and concise legal advice and to do the best they can. I've seen the way they work together and their commitment and attitude continues to impress me.

HPL Y is my 'go to' legal advisor for both my personal affairs and my business affairs. They have always offered advice which is both technically on point but also strategic. The whole process is very structured and efficient, while always retaining the personal element particularly as regards responsiveness. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ludmila and her excellent team of associates and paralegals.

I had the occasion to use LY Law again this year and was again very happy with the speed of response and the quality of assistance rendered. This time was in connection with a property related matter. Highly recommended. I met with the Ludmilla to discuss a case in connection with termination of employment and found the whole process to be smoothly arranged and professionally handled. The advice I received was concise, relevant to the case in under discussion and based upon extensive experience of similar cases.

Having worked with several international law firms, our experience with HPL Yamalova & Plewka has been outstanding. Given they operate in a highly competitive environment, our first impact was the work ethic followed by speed. Definitely recommended and will work again.
