Family Matters in Israel – When You're Far Away, But Not Alone
Personalized, Professional Legal Support for Israelis and Jews Living Abroad
You may live in the U.S., Canada, Europe, or anywhere else in the world, but your family is in Israel.
The property, the memories, the roots — they’re all there.
And you’re far away. Sometimes an ocean apart.
Then comes the moment when you need to act:
- To help an aging parent.
- To claim the inheritance you rightfully deserve.
- To resolve a family dispute over a will.
- To figure out how to respond to a surprising or suspicious testament.
- Or to protect your child — when there's a real risk of international abduction.
These are the moments when you need a lawyer in Israel.
But not just any lawyer,
You need someone who understands what it means to live abroad
and still carry responsibility for what happens here.
Someone who doesn’t just represent you, but truly gets you.
Who sees your legal case through your eyes.
Someone you can trust with what matters most: your family.
