Ben mehagrim refers to the child of Israeli emigrants, when the child formerly resided in Israel but left the country with their parents or guardians before turning 16 years old, and their parents are still living abroad. The child should register their ben mehagrim status at the Israeli consulate abroad closest to them. Doing so will allow them emigrant to avoid the process of being drafted into the IDF, and the legal complications that may ensure upon visiting Israel while their status vis-a-vis the military authorities is unclear.

How to Choose a Ben Mehagrim Lawyer

Israel has the most lawyers per capita, and Israeli lawyers are free to practice any type of law they choose. This means that it can be very confusing to people, especially those who live abroad, to try and ascertain who is the best lawyer for them. 

We recommend that you consider the following:

  1. Area of practice: Make sure you choose a lawyer or law firm that specializes in the service that you seek. This will ensure that you are working with an expert who can best assist you with your case. It can also help to look at the lawyer or law firm’s website to see if they provide content on the type of service you seek, which can point to their legal expertise in the matter.
  2. Language and communication: It’s important that the lawyer communicates with you in a way that you appreciate, and it often helps if you can speak to the lawyer in the language most comfortable for you. Our law office provides legal services in many languages, working with staff who speak English, Hebrew, Russian, French, German and more.
  3. Fees: Make sure you discuss the cost of the legal services in advance. This can help avoid any unpleasant surprises moving forward. 
  4. Availability: Make sure that you ask if the lawyer has the time to take on your case. Especially if your case is urgent, you should ensure that your lawyer can allocate time to your case and give it the priority it deserves.
