If you need to solve any complicated legal issue in Israel, don't hesitate to contact them. Otherwise you will loose hours/days/weeks with things that they can solve in minutes. They helped me to obtain my expert working visa in Israel and even after that they responded further questions and gave me advices related to administrative issues in Israel which saved me a lot of time. Irena Rosenberg and Michael Decker worked on my case, they are very professional and helpful. They will not let you down, feel free to contact them.

Oded Ger did an excellent job by reviewing a modeling contract I was offered. Explained the bad clauses in the contract, and their possible consequences. Thank you for your amazing job, your professionalism, your consultation and honesty. You showed me from your experience how it can be done differently. It was the best decision choosing you as my lawyer.
I highly recommend this firm, especially Oded Ger.

We had a pleasure of working with Irena Rosenberg who assisted in getting our two U.S. born children registered in Israel and supported visa process for my wife in 2021. During the pandemic, my wife and I decided to move to Israel where I am originally from after living in the U.S. for over 20 years, but we had no idea how to go about securing visas before and after arriving in Israel. Irena is knowledgeable, reliable and competent lawyer who always had answers to all our questions which made us feel confident that everything would be fine with her assistance. We are now happily living in Israel and are so grateful to have Irena who is a genuinely nice person as our lawyer.

I am delighted to report that my wife and I have just obtained our Israeli citizenship. We will be forever grateful for all of the help, guidance and support which Ariel Galili of Decker, Pex, Ofir & Co. provided through this process.
I am a Jewish, 80-year-old American, and my wife is not Jewish. We had started the process on our own back in November 2020 via the Jewish Agency and Nefesh B’Nefesh, but soon became entangled in the delays and often-changing regulations due to Covid-19. The pandemic also caused delays in obtaining the required apostilles for various documents from various state agencies and the US State Department.
We found Decker, Pex, Ofir & Co. On the internet and began working with Ariel in late November 2021. Ariel did a superb job of leading us through the process, helping us to understand which documents were essential, which would most likely be required, and which, though included on the list of required documents, were rarely required. He helped us several times to understand what was likely and unlikely to occur as “the next step.” Helping us manage our expectations was extremely useful to us.
Besides his knowing the laws, regulations and procedures, Ariel also made us feel that he was truly interested in helping us to successfully work through this process in as smooth, timely, and frustration-free manner as possible.
My wife and I strongly recommend anyone planning to go through this process seriously consider hiring Decker, Pex, Ofir & Co. and, specifically, Ariel Galili.

Incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, accessible, and evident across the board that they truly care about the people they are helping. They are quick to respond, engaged, and obviously top-notch lawyers. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Joshua and Itamar for your help with our Joint Life Application. You were a calming energy during a storm - always breathed a sigh of relief after speaking with you. It is so difficult to get straight answers from the Misrad Hapnim, but you guys are straight shooters. I appreciate your candor and evident integrity. Hope to work with you in the future, and will send everyone I know in need of legal aid your way. Thank you for your guidance and support.

We are very happy with the services. Somehow they managed to translate the law lingo into language we actually understand 😉 and their outstanding YouTube videos helped us to have a better grasp of what process we had to go through. Their patience, clear explanation and experience are very valuable. It's also very nice to know that you will receive response promptly; it made us feel we can really trust their services. We recommend all those looking for immigration lawyers to get in touch.

We highly recommend Adv. Mike Decker and have know him for many years. He has helped our family with many battles over the years. We recently received our permanent residency after 23 years in Israel. We so much appreciate Mike’s representation of us.
Joshua Pex was both an amazing human being and an inspiring human rights attorney. I reported directly to him for various activities I performed as in intern. I was impressed with his incredibly solid character. He is trustworthy, fair, and goes above and beyond to advocate for the vulnerable. He is completely trustworthy and high caliber in his work. His partners and employees are very blessed to work with him. I am honored to know them.

For Advocate Joshua Pex.
We were in a devastating situation when my wife received an order from the immigration office to leave Israel within 30 days, without any explanation, after we have been married and in the process for six and a half years. We heard of Advocate Pex through a friend of a friend. We contacted Mr. Pex and he was ready to help us when he heard of our situation.
The service is amazing! Always ready to assist without regard to the time it takes. The advice Mr. Pex gave us was great, such as what to do, he gave useful links, and advice about which officials to contact. The price for the service was great!
The process until we received the extension for another year for my wife was not long (3 months). Things started moving once Mr. Pex came into the picture.
We highly recommend Advocate Joshua Pex! We achieved our goal and the fear of deportation has been lifted!
Jacob Newberry

We were searching for a law firm that will be honest with us and really work hard for a satisfying result, it wasn't an easy task
We found them online; they were the only law firm from all of our searchings which were completely honest and NOT gave us just what we wanted to hear
Using them guaranteed honesty above all. A legal team that is friendly and cares for a superb result
They really care about helping their customers without any other interest
Nadia gave us service behind what we expected; she was professional which lead to fast and easy process with great result
We definitely recommend using them
A marital status certificate is a certificate that attests to the personal / marital status of the certificate holder. In Israel, a formal personal status may be one of the following four states: never married, married, divorced, or widowed. However, there are also other types of marital status that are not formally recognized in Israel: “Get” refused (being refused a Jewish divorce), single parent, single parent by choice, and more. In Israel, the marital status of each citizen is recorded in the Population Registry. Translation of a citizen’s marital status certificate is required for the purpose of recognizing marriage / divorce / children that result from a marriage (unless a paternity test is required), and more.
A Change in Marital Status
Translation of a marital status certificate is required in many cases, including:
Emigration abroad: Many foreign countries require, as part of the immigration process, to submit documents proving the emigrant’s personal status. Whether the immigration is for family unification, work, or academic studies – it is often necessary to present a certificate and / or translated document indicating the marital status.
Marriage abroad: In order for a couple to complete their marriage procedure abroad, and to prove their marital status before conducting the marriage ceremony, they must present to the relevant institutions (whether it is the municipality of the city where the marriage is being conducted or any other institution, as is customary in the foreign country) a personal status certificate translated into the language of the foreign country.
A marital status certificate which includes basic information about the personal status of the certificate holder must be translated in a way that accurately conveys the contents of the original document, since said status is a critical factor in many situations. For example, if a citizen has never married or is divorced, and intends to get married and register his marriage in Israel, a small mistake in the translation may disrupt the entire marriage procedure, while a professional and accurate translation may prevent such a situation. It is therefore advisable to contact a notary public who specializes in notarial translation of personal certificates and can ensure that the translation is accurate and adheres to current acceptable usage of the target language.
Arranging the status of a foreign spouse: To arrange the status of a foreign spouse (in the process of arranging a common-law marriage or family reunification), various documents must be presented to the Ministry of Interior. One important document is a certificate and / or document attesting to the foreign spouse’s personal status, which is needed in order to prove that the connection between them and the Israeli spouse is valid, and must be translated before submitting it to the Ministry of Interior.
Extension of a European or Israeli passport: When submitting an application to extend the validity of a passport, a translated personal status certificate must be presented.
Translation of a Marital Status Certificate by Demand of the Interior Ministry
Our law firm has extensive experience in arranging the legal status of formally and informally married spouses. Inter alia, we present an expert opinion in cases where the foreign spouse cannot obtain a general personal status certificate / No Record of a Marriage certificate from his country of origin. This may occur in countries such as Ukraine, whose legal infrastructure does not enable issuing a No Record of Marriage certificate – but Israeli Interior Ministry officials still demand this certificate from citizens of these countries.
Translation of a Marital Status Certificate
Our law firm specializes in translating many and varied types of certificates and documents, and we can translate marital status certificates into any required language. Contact our office to receive a quote for translating your certificate and to receive an apostille stamp (if the certificate is to be presented abroad).
