Specialising in International Law Criminal Litigation & Custody 

 

Our Services

Over the last 20 years we have handled all manner of criminal charges in various Criminal Courts in Israel and abroad, from the least to the most serious.  And yet, there are clearly some experiences that come across our desks teaching us much more valuable lessons we want to share with you here. 

Criminal Defense is not a hobby.  It isn't something you can do "a little".  Offering Criminal Defense legal services can never become latest career move. 

 

Being a former prosecutors at the district attorney office not only enabled us an insight as to the reality of the system In both ends, it certainly convinced us that against the vast and virtually limitless resources of the government put against our client`s freedom, should they contact us for an advise at the earliest stage of their process,  we can stand up and fight for you. 

 

Avoiding Common mistakes

Taking on an opponent who has more lawyers, more experts, and more money than you can even imagine, as they seek to drag you through the very gates of Hell, sometimes assuming you will do mistakes and they can enjoy your mistakes to your detriment, requires a real life criminal law experience and clever ideas based on concrete legal advice you cannot afford to gain by simple reading. 

If you or your beloved one were arrested or charged with a crime, it is certainly not the time to start online law school in google.

Our adversary legal system is in many cases all about utilising the other side mistakes. Its more about not what you should do or not, rather it is about what mistakes you should avoid.

Your case could end a lot different once you avoid common mistakes. Real experience that is the summation of all the lessons we have learned along the way is presented to you here so as to enable you to learn and avoid some of them.

On our website we have listed many words of advise. But if we could insist on one it is for you to remember all along your case that :


   

 ״Life & death are in the power of the tongue"

It is all about predictability

We assume that you are here and that you may seek a higher level of predictability about what to expect in your criminal case. Obviously, each case is decided utterly upon its own merits, in your particular courtroom in front of your particular judge .

We hope you can appreciate an advice made by a law office who has the benefit of more than 20 years of experience in the very court where you find yourself.  When we walk into courtrooms, most of the judges in our district are familiar with us.  Some of them we have appeared before since the day we started.  Most of the prosecutors are familiar with us.  Most of the court staff are familiar with us.  All of this familiarity translates for our clients into a better experience in court.  Deep familiarity means for our clients a higher level of predictability. Never it is more than that. Practical reality is that each case is always decided based on its facts according to the law. 

It is also important for you to know that prior results of any given lawyer do not guarantee future outcomes. 

We are not in the business of making empty promises or guaranteeing results. We rather can guarantee that our best efforts, know how and experience will be put into your case. We are in the business of helping people through some difficult times. We have helped countless good people accused or arrested and see their way through this often quite manageable problem. We can help you too.

"Entering a court room is like admitting to hospital, you know when you are in but can never really predict when or how you will be when out"
