Good to Know
Excellent court representation starts with the right questions
Clients sometimes sabotage their own cases by sharing only the parts that benefit them. But a good lawyer knows how to question clients and get the full picture that will help create a winning strategy for the case
Did you know that some claims are filed in the wrong courts?
Labor law doesn’t work like traffic law, which doesn’t work like family court… and sometimes, there are cases that seem like they belong in one court but actually suit another - and they are dismissed outright.

How do I know my chances in a claim?
The chances of a legal claim succeeding depend on three main factors:
First, the facts you can prove and support with evidence. Second, how much you invested in the right lawyer to represent you in court. And third, how far you are able to rebut and contradict the other side's claims.
An experienced lawyer who knows the current rulings and precedents well can analyze your factual situation and advise you whether you have a reasonable chance of winning the claim.
That said, without seeing the full picture and the information held by the opposing side, the outcome of a claim cannot be predicted with certainty.
When is a hearing held behind closed doors, and when in open court?
Family matters are usually heard behind closed doors. Civil matters, by contrast, are heard in open court, unless there is a special reason to limit the publicity of the hearing.
What alternatives are there to going to court?
Even when considering alternatives to court, it is important to get legal advice that fences in your risk.
The alternatives available to you are:
- Handling matters independently, through letters and phone calls, with the aim of reaching some agreement.
- Proposing mediation to the other side before things fall apart
- Turning to an arbitration institute or an agreed arbitrator to shorten the dispute
- Applying to a communal monetary court (beit din) under religious law
Naturally, these alternatives require the consent of both parties and a shared willingness to manage the dispute without the court's involvement.
How long does it take to reach a judgment?
There is no absolute answer to this question.
The answer depends on the complexity of the proceeding, on how the parties conduct it, and on their access to the evidence.
Although in exceptional cases you may see a judge within days, in most cases the judge who handles your matter is first met after several months.
A full proceeding in the family courts, or under regular procedure in a magistrates' court, may take several years.
When can a ruling be appealed?
A ruling can almost always be appealed.
Court decisions fall into two kinds: interim decisions (on a specific point within the proceeding), which usually require leave to appeal; and judgments, which carry the right to one appeal.
After an appeal is dismissed, a further leave to appeal is granted only in the most exceptional cases.
