Remand Detention – What It Is, How Long It Lasts, and How to Fight It

There is no doubt that choosing Israel Arama was the best decision I made. From the first moment I met someone exceptional, combining 100% professionalism with an eye-level approach, without grand words and without talk for its own sake. In court and in dealings with the authorities he is a genuine fighter. He fought for my case like a lion and did not give up on a single detail. Israel is a decent, straight and genuine man. Everything was explained to me as it was, without selling illusions but with complete confidence that someone was there to get me the best result — and the result speaks for itself.

I met Israel entirely by chance at the Be'er Sheva station, and he was like an angel from heaven. Unlike the other lawyers I had, he was always available, gave good advice, and fought for me tooth and nail in a case that was anything but simple. He is the real thing.

I found myself in serious trouble with my ex-wife and felt my life was over. I called him first thing in the morning before the questioning, and he explained on the phone exactly what was going to happen in the interrogation room, without complicated words, and prepared me for every question. After the questioning I was released home; he sent letters, applied pressure where it was needed, and in the end the case was closed with no charge and no stain. As far as I am concerned, from now on I have an address for anything.

When I was arrested my family was in a state of terrible anxiety. From the moment he came into the picture he dealt with everything, got me out to an alternative to detention, and always made sure to update my wife, calm her and explain exactly what was happening at each stage. Outside the courtroom he talks to you like a friend, but inside, facing the judge and the prosecution, he is one of the best I have seen. I came out of it in the best way anyone could ask for.

I received an indictment and could not sleep at night from the pressure. I thank God that Adv. Arama handled this case, because he found failures in it that nobody else would have seen. He did not give up, went to meetings with the District Attorney's Office and fought until they simply withdrew and cancelled the indictment altogether! He saved my good name and my future. As a bonus he also got back the private firearm they had taken from me.
