Handling the arrest of a foreign worker

Arrest and Deportation of a Foreign Worker: A Complex and Sensitive Situation

One of the most complex and delicate situations that unfortunately occurs often in Israel, is when a foreign worker is arrested by the immigration police and gets sent to a detention center, where he/she is held in custody until they are deported from Israel.

Such situation completely shakes the life of the foreign worker, his/her family in Israel and frequently also the lives of the family members he/she works for.

The Importance of Immediate Legal Representation

The arrest of a foreign worker is a procedure in which the worker needs a lawyer instantly; without legal representation, he or she might be rapidly deported to their country of origin without having the opportunity to lay their claims properly and present their case. In our office, we accompany the foreign worker from the point of initial arrest at the detention center, write petitions for the numerous authorities, represent the worker in front of the detention center’s court and when required serve appeals that reach until the supreme court of justice.

Experience of Zari Hazan Law Office in Releasing a Foreign Worker from Detention

The law firm of Zari Hazan & Co. has extensive experience and deep knowledge in handling cases of arrest and deportation of foreign workers. We are well-versed in the bureaucracy involved in releasing a foreign worker from detention and tirelessly protect their rights. Whether it was cases of caregiving workers who changed employers, children of foreign workers, or other foreign workers who had a justification to continue their stay in Israel – our office has often succeeded in preventing the deportation order for the foreign worker and returning them to their normal lives in the country.

Employing a Foreign Worker Without a Permit Caught at the Employer’s Home

An employer caught at their home or business employing a foreign worker without a permit is summoned for a criminal investigation and is likely to face an indictment in a criminal procedure conducted at the Labor Court.

One of the most common administrative offenses is employing a foreign worker without a valid work visa. Since it is an administrative offense similar to traffic violations, in the past, an administrative fine was imposed for illegal employment. However, today, due to the increase in such offenses, criminal indictments are filed against employers. At the law firm of Zari Hazan & Co., we have gained significant experience and expertise in handling the arrest of foreign workers, and we have the skills to professionally handle these delicate issues.

Months ago, I was lost in the labyrinth of the Ministry of Interior and I turned to Zari Hazan’s law firm after having started my Aliyah process. I had already faced countless obstacles, lost faith in the system, and felt completely defeated. But then I met my lawyer, Meytal and her team. She saw beyond the bureaucratic obstacles, believed in me when I’d lost hope, and made my case her personal mission. With the utmost dedication and faith, she tailored a personal strategy just for me.
I’ll forever be grateful to Meytal and the entire Zari Hazan team. She and her team will forever hold a special place in my heart. They changed my life. עם ישראל חי‏

I approached the office of Zari Hazan due to a problem in getting a humanitarian Visa for her. We needed this visa quite rapidly in order to help a seriously disabled person. Needless to say, we could set e meeting upon a short notice and agree on all terms immediately.
The office did solve the issue very fast, was supportive and responsive throughout the process.
We received the humanitarian visa and we are most thankful to the office of Zari Hazan.‏
