Why choose us?
Family law cases involve particularly sensitive issues, specifically rights and obligations in the realm of personal status, including divorce, marriage, parenthood, lineage, and more.
Attorney Levi, a certified mediator, leads the family law, mediation, and inheritance law team, which includes attorneys Mindy Ehrlich and Meir Shua.
Together they see each case as a complex human story requiring a personalized approach. “We focus on understanding the personal needs of each client, taking the utmost precision in drafting legal documents and building constructive communication channels between the parties involved in each dispute.”
The legally complex field of family law requires in-depth knowledge of the laws and court rulings that are constantly changing, but no less important is the personal sensitivity and understanding of each client’s needs in complex family situations, and an emphasis on communication and conflict resolution in a manner acceptable to all parties.
Anat Levi, an expert family law attorney
The head of our Family Law Department is Attorney Anat Levi, who is also certified as a mediator. Attorney Levy is also authorized by the Attorney General to draw up a continuing power of attorney agreement. She holds a bachelor’s degree in law in the Management Track from Netanya College and a master’s degree in law in the Management Track from Bar Ilan University.
In her work, Attorney Anat Levi deals with drafting agreements in the field of family law, such as divorce agreements, prenuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and parenthood agreements. She also specializes in resolving family disputes and accompanying her clients in legal proceedings if necessary.
Meir Shua and Mindy Ehrlich, expert attorneys in inheritance law
With about two decades of experience in the legal field, Attorney Meir Shua emphasizes that “inheritance is not just a matter of a property listed in the land registry or a number in a bank account – it is about values, sentimental heritage and intra-family relations, with the legal decision closing one chapter and opening another. We not only protect the family rights of each client, but also the honor of the family, and that the distribution of the estate will not cause any harsh feelings that will evolve into a family feud that lasts for generations.” In a lecture to the office staff, Meir illustrates the role of an attorney in fulfilling inheritance promises and obtaining full rights for the client, but on the other hand notes that drafting an up-to-date will could have prevented complications and recourse to the court for all the heirs.
Attorney Mindy Ehrlich likes to quote Gandhi – “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Mindy, with a background in the creative field, including winning awards for her screenplay, likes to think outside the box to find new solutions to complex legal situations.
About the firm:
Anat Levi & co. Law Firm, one of the leading firms in Israel, offers in-depth expertise in the areas that most affect your family life, from inheritance law, through mediation and continuing power of attorney, to estate management. In addition, the firm specializes in international immigration law and accompanies clients in the processes of immigration and naturalization. The firm’s uniqueness lies in a deep understanding of family dynamics, which allows it to identify diverse needs and provide a sensitive and personalized legal response.
Attorney Levi emphasizes that the department’s success lies in its ability to integrate various legal fields and provide a personalized response to each client. “Sometimes expert mediation is required to bridge emotional gaps between family members, and in other cases precise legal work is required in drafting agreements. And there are also cases that require persistent litigation to protect the rights of our clients.”
Not just law: help and human sympathy
Attorney Ehrlich, who also serves as a volunteer paramedic at Magen David Adom and a member of the legal department of the Hillel Association, emphasizes the importance of contributing to the community as part of the department’s professional identity. “We see ourselves as committed not only to our clients, but also to society as a whole,” she says.
“Our success is not measured only in written agreements,” adds Attorney Levi. “We strive to preserve and strengthen family ties, even after difficult disputes. This is the art of managing an inheritance department – the ability to combine legal professionalism with human sensitivity.” This approach has positioned the inheritance department of the Anat Levi & co. Law Firm firm as a leading address in the field in Israel.
Resolving disputes through mediation
Family disputes can be emotional and highly personal, with each side wanting to achieve as much as possible at the expense of the other. These disputes, when they reach the courts, can take a long time and cost a lot, and the outcome is not necessarily satisfactory. However, even these situations can and should be resolved without anger and with minimal damage.
In the year after the enactment of the “Law for the Settlement of Disputes in Family Matters,” the law requiring mediation before filing a lawsuit between spouses, there was a decrease of about 60% in the number of divorce lawsuits in the country. This figure was not recorded due to a decrease in the rate of divorce, but due to the great success of mediation proceedings compared to legal claims in this area, which are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere and with the consent of both parties.
A mediation process carried out with the help of an experienced attorney with an affinity for conflict resolution can help family members reach an agreement that will satisfy all parties, while preventing a long and exhausting legal battle.
Drafting agreements in the field of family law
Whether it is an agreement drawn up as a substitute for a lawsuit, such as a divorce agreement, or an agreement that ensures the well-being of a family member, such as a continuing power of attorney, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a lawyer who is thoroughly familiar with the field. An attorney specializing in the field can ensure that all parties fully understand the nature of the agreement signed and agree with its contents wholeheartedly, and also ensure that no unclear clauses or open corners remain in order to prevent misunderstandings later on.
Representation in court
Despite the positive attempt to resolve the issue through mediation, sometimes these proceedings fail and then there is no choice but to turn to the court. In this case, it is important to seek the help of a lawyer who is committed to his role and his clients will continue with them if they so wish in the legal process, while wishing to achieve the best possible outcome for them.
