“Everyone has advice. None of it fits my situation.”
Friends and relatives can offer support. A divorce handled overseas, a forum discussion or an old article may leave out the issues that matter in your Israeli case.

Strategy before action.
When advice conflicts,
where do you begin?
A family matter involving Israel needs guidance grounded in your circumstances and the legal system that applies.
“I received papers in Hebrew. What am I being asked to do?”
Unfamiliar language can make an already difficult situation feel harder. Understand the documents, any deadlines and your options before deciding how to respond.
“Our family spans countries. Where should we start?”
Residence, children and assets in different countries can raise questions about jurisdiction and the next steps. Start by mapping the Israeli and international issues together.
“I want to protect my children without making things worse.”
Custody, travel and relocation decisions deserve careful planning. Discuss your objectives and the relevant legal issues before making commitments.
Support from people you trust.
Legal strategy built for your case.
Use your 60-minute Strategic Case Assessment to review your situation, clarify the legal questions and consider practical next steps with an Israeli attorney.

What should I include in my first inquiry?
A short overview of the matter, your contact details and any relevant deadline. You can discuss further documents and details with the firm directly.
Can my consultation take place fully online?

Can you handle my Israeli legal matter while I am abroad?
We coordinate online consultations, document exchange, filings and case updates so you can work with an attorney in Israel from abroad. Where permitted, we also arrange remote identity verification, affidavit signing and participation in hearings or government procedures. Notarial, consular and apostille requirements depend on the document, your location and the receiving authority. We explain what can be done remotely, request the appropriate permissions and tell you when originals or attendance in person are required. Video meetings and direct updates keep you informed about the next steps and deadlines throughout the matter.
How are your legal fees calculated?
Indicative hourly rate: ₪800–₪1,400
Depending on the nature, complexity and scope of the matter, we may propose hourly billing or a fixed fee for an agreed service. We consider an appropriate fee arrangement for each case. This range is an indication, not a quote or commitment; the scope, fees, applicable VAT and any additional expenses are clarified and agreed before engagement.
