01 Who we help

If you drive in Israel
and don't speak Hebrew

Israeli traffic proceedings run in Hebrew, on Israeli timelines, and increasingly through digital systems. Missing a deadline or misreading a notice is the most common way a manageable case becomes an expensive one.

New immigrants & residents

Olim and long-term residents who hold an Israeli licence but are not yet comfortable handling a Hebrew legal process.

Tourists & rental drivers

Tickets and accidents involving rental cars — including notices that arrive after you have already left the country.

Expats & foreign workers

Employees posted to Israel who need the matter resolved quickly and without risking their licence or visa status.

Diplomats & officials

Matters that touch on immunity, official vehicles and mission status, handled discreetly.

Companies & fleets

Employers whose drivers or company vehicles are cited, including transferring liability to the actual driver.

Families of the injured

Relatives abroad dealing with a serious or fatal accident in Israel and needing someone on the ground.

02 Practice areas

Everything we handle,
in one place

The firm works almost exclusively in Israeli traffic law. That narrow focus is the point — it is all we do, and we have been doing it since 1976.

Serious offences
Driving under the influenceAlcohol and drugs — breathalyser procedure, refusal to test, blood and saliva evidence.
Traffic accidentsFrom minor collisions to accidents involving injury, and the criminal proceedings that follow.
Fatal accidentsCausing death by negligence — the firm's most complex work, at every level of court.
Excessive speedingCamera and laser measurements, device calibration and the officer's evidence.
Driving while disqualifiedIncluding cases where custodial sentences were overturned on appeal.
Hit and runLeaving the scene, failing to assist, and the evidentiary gaps these cases usually contain.
Licence & penalty points
Administrative disqualificationThe immediate roadside or post-accident suspension, and applications to cancel it.
Disqualification until proceedings endContesting a suspension that would otherwise run for the length of the case.
Penalty pointsHow points accumulate, when corrective measures are triggered, and how to challenge them.
Medical Institute for Road SafetyReferrals to the MIRS and appeals against its decisions.
Licence restorationGetting back on the road after disqualification, including re-testing requirements.
New & young driversThe stricter rules that apply in the first years of holding a licence.
Tickets, fines & procedure
Traffic tickets & finesCancellation requests, transferring a ticket to the actual driver, and extensions of time.
Trial in absentiaReopening a case decided without you — common when notices went to an old address.
AppealsTo the District Court and, where the issue justifies it, to the Supreme Court.
Right of way & signageJunction cases, stop signs, traffic lights and overtaking offences.
Motorcycles, e-bikes & scootersTwo-wheeler cases, helmet offences and the shifting e-mobility regulations.
Beyond the courtroom
Compensation for accident victimsCivil claims for those injured in road accidents, alongside the criminal case.
Pedestrian casesCrossings, reversing accidents and blind-spot collisions — for drivers and for pedestrians.
03 How it works

01

Send us the papers

Photograph the ticket, summons or notice and send it by WhatsApp or email. A translation is not needed.

02

Free case review

We tell you plainly what you are charged with, what it exposes you to, and whether there is a real defence.

03

We take it over

Filings, deadlines and correspondence with the police and the court are handled by the office.

04

Resolution

Cancellation, a negotiated outcome, or a full hearing — with updates in English at every stage.

A. Oron
Law Offices

"Almost everything I argue in court, I once argued from the other side of the room."

The practice was founded in 1976 by Advocate Eylon Oron, who spent four years as a police prosecutor in the Tel Aviv district before opening his own office — and who has since become one of the most recognised names in Israeli traffic law.

Today the firm brings together around ten lawyers and a support team across four offices, appearing at every level of court from the traffic courts to the Supreme Court. Advocate Oron has written three professional books on Israeli traffic law, teaches the subject, and appears regularly in the Israeli press and broadcast media.

  • Former police prosecutor, Tel Aviv district
  • Former co-chair, National Traffic Committee, Israel Bar
  • Author of three books on Israeli traffic law
  • Regular columnist and broadcast commentator

06 FAQ

Questions we are
asked in English

Do I have to attend the hearing myself?

In many traffic matters, no. A lawyer can appear on your behalf, and a large share of cases are resolved without the client ever attending court. Where your presence is genuinely required, we tell you well in advance.

I have already left Israel and a ticket arrived. What now?

Send it to us. Being abroad does not stop the Israeli clock, and an unanswered notice can turn into a judgment given in your absence. In many cases we can act for you entirely from here.

The ticket is in Hebrew and I cannot read it.

Photograph it and send it through — no translation needed. We will tell you what the alleged offence is, what it carries in fine and penalty points, and what your options and deadlines are.

What are penalty points, and why do they matter?

Israel records points against your licence for many offences. As they accumulate, the licensing authority imposes corrective measures — a defensive driving course from twelve points, a further course from twenty-four, and disqualification with re-testing from thirty-six. Paying a fine does not remove the points.

It was a rental car. Is that not the rental company's problem?

No. The company will normally identify you as the driver and transfer the ticket, often adding a handling fee. The legal exposure, including the points, then follows you.

Can a traffic case affect my visa or work status?

It can. Some traffic offences in Israel are criminal in nature and result in a conviction rather than a simple fine. If your status in the country matters to you, raise it at the outset so it can be weighed in how the case is run.

What does representation cost?

It depends on the offence, the stage the case has reached and whether it goes to a hearing. The initial case review is free and comes with a clear quote before anything is agreed.

Is the whole matter handled in English?

Your side of it, yes — consultations, updates and correspondence with you. The proceedings themselves are conducted in Hebrew before Israeli courts, which is precisely why having the office run them for you matters.
