I highly recommend Yael Kaner

Attorney, Yael Kaner, is the most accomplished lawyer one could ever hope of having. She is extremely intelligent, trustworthy, and compassionate. She goes beyond her role in getting back to her clients, filing the correct paperwork, and fighting for justice in the court. She will not crumble under ...pressure and fights for individual justice especially in child support cases. She stands up in court for her clients .I would highly recommend her, do not look for any other lawyer.She is knowledgeable in both Israeli and United States Courts.

Posted by anonymous | January 18, 2013 | Child Custody

Very experienced and professional in court.

Yael helped me to resolve my child custody case with choosing a good strategy . We discussed different approaches to my case and possible outcomes. She was preparing me for each step of the process and everything was resolved in the best way possible.She is very experienced and professional in court.... Exellent in profiling the parties onvolved. I would recommend her for divorce and custody cases.

DIVORCE CLIENT

MADE EVERYTHING WORSE FOR ME. I WANTED TO GET DIVORCED AND SHE JUST TURNED INTO A MESS WITH HER RUDE DEMEANOR AND BARKING ALL THE TIME. NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE AT ALL. JUST TALK AND YELL, AND BEING RUDE IS HER STYLE.

Bad lawyering

Yael Kaner was not good on my case. She just wanted to be vicious against my spouse and it was not the way I wanted to handle the situation. She escalated the conflict and that was not helpful. She doesn't know the law and refers to Cliff Notes in court instead of actual law books.

I endorse this lawyer.She can be recommended to anyone. The best ways to describe her is knowledgable, efficient,aggressive,fair, and she is got all what an excellent attorney should be. When she takes your case she gives the feeling of being secure and protected..What more can one ask ? If you need ...help and need solutions give her a call now...You will not regret it...

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Prior to my recent retirement, I had the opportunity to observe Ms. Kaner and found her to be tenacious but fair in her dealings with opposing counsel. As my office was adjacent to hers, I could occasionally hear when she was advising her clients as to how to proceed and having no hesitation in informing them when she thought they might be making a decision based on emotion that would result in unfortunate consequences for them. Based on my almost 37 years of experience in pracitcing law, I would have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Kaner to any prospective client."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Kaner was a very tough opponent, but at all time very professional and cooperative in moving the case along. If ordered to prepare documents, she was prompt. If presented witih documents she responded promptly as well. After the case was done, she revealed that our case was a difficult one, but made easier by our working together instead of to opposite ends. Very nice comment by her!"
