Handling the arrest of a foreign worker

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.

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.

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.
