One of the best - most diligent and thoughtful advocates

Yael Kaner has it all in terms of a family law attorney! She deeply cares about her clients and will advocate on their behalf to her full ability, and she is extremely knowledgeable about family law and court procedures. Yael has represented me for the last 15 years in a highly contentious divorce an...d was able to ensure that my young daughter live with me and get the support that she needs to thrive..

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.

Highly Recommended. Excellent Representation!

Kaner was recommended to me by a friend. At first, I was little suspicious about hiring Kaner due to past experience with several attorneys. Unnecessary billing and work not getting done were main frustrating issues with them for me. Fortunately, I did not have any issues with Kaner. I am really ...impressed with her work skills and truthfulness. Kaner helped me clean up the mess that my former attorney left. She listened to what I wanted and was fearless in her effort to get it for me. She does not mess around. She is fearless, honest, and assertive while remaining first rate professional. My children and I are benefit greatly from her persistant work. Kaner was kind enough to work with me at a discounted rate due to my financial harship, and never made me feel like I was getting discounted representation. I would highly recommended her to anyone in need of a great, knowledgeable attorney. Hiring Kaner was the best decision I made. Kaner has always been professional and has proven to be extremely knowledgeable in the field of family law.

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."

Family lawyer | Jan 20

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!"
