Maor Gercenshtein Law Office · Ashkelon
We represent clients in real estate, family matters, wills and inheritance, and in court. The documents and the hearings are in Hebrew — the explanations, the questions and the decisions can be in English.
The firm
We are a law firm based in Ashkelon, in the south of Israel, working with private clients and families. Many of our clients come to us before they sign — a purchase contract, a prenuptial agreement, a will. Many others come because something has already gone wrong and has to be handled in court.
Israeli legal procedure runs in Hebrew, and that will not change. What we change is that you understand every step of it: what you are signing, what the other side is claiming, and what happens next.
