Whether you intend to sell a property, purchase a property, or rent or lease a property for a long-term period, it is highly recommended to contact a lawyer specializing in real estate as early as possible - and preferably one hour in advance.

Administrative law
Criminal law is a field in which the advisory and support services of a lawyer are required more than any other legal field, since the state, through its enforcement agencies, conducts a process within the framework of which an individual's liberty can be deprived by means of detention, arrest, and imprisonment behind bars, as well as classifying an ordinary citizen as a lawbreaker and a criminal, sometimes for no wrongdoing on his part.
Attorney Haim Lankri specializes in criminal law and in recent years has mainly represented and assisted clients in indictments in planning and construction matters, most of which end in fines, the regulation of planning and construction offenses by way of demolition or the issuance of a building permit, an undertaking not to commit planning and construction offenses, and more.
A lawyer who specializes in both planning and construction law and criminal law can greatly assist in significantly reducing the expected fines, in regulating the existing situation as much as possible, and even in canceling the indictment or acquitting the defendant in appropriate cases that require an in-depth examination of the planning status applicable to the property.
Adv. Haim Lankri specializes in planning and construction law and criminal law, and you are invited to contact him regarding any matter related to construction carried out on your property, including indictments filed against you, judicial orders issued against you (for example, cessation of use or cessation of prohibited work), a summons for investigation with a warning, a notice of an inspector's visit to the property, etc.
