About
Weinberg & Weinberg Law Office is a leading law firm in Israel in its field, recognized for creating significant legal precedents that have been recognized by the Supreme Court and studied as influential rulings in law faculties.
Weinberg & Weinberg was founded in 1950 by the late attorney Leah Weinberg, one of Israel’s pioneering female lawyers. Leah served as the president of the Association of Women Lawyers in Israel. She was the first woman in the country to receive the Israeli Bar Association's "Women in Law" award.
Today, the firm is headed by her eldest son, Attorney Israel Weinberg, one of the most prominent and experienced lawyers in Israel in tort and medical malpractice law. Attorney Weinberg is also a lecturer, an active member of the Israeli Bar, and is deeply involved in public service and community work. Over the years, he has been responsible for several landmark rulings that revolutionized evidentiary law and overturned longstanding legal doctrines, for example, the Amar Smadar v. Clalit Health Services case, which resulted in record compensation of approximately 12 million shekels, and the Rachel Yehezkel v. Eliyahu Insurance Company case, where he succeeded in overturning a decades-old precedent and established a new legal doctrine known as “estate acceleration” - his legal innovation.
The firm’s team comprises five seasoned attorneys, including Dr. Michael Tzur, who is both a physician and a lawyer. The firm is a referral hub for other law offices due to its expertise and its ability to revive abandoned cases (including medical negligence cases that others had given up on). Attorney Weinberg is known as a determined "fighter" who works tirelessly to achieve optimal results for his clients, and as a standout litigator capable of compelling even top medical professionals and expert witnesses to retract their positions in written opinions.
The combination of deep knowledge acquired over more than 50 years of experience, thousands of hours of litigation in court, effective case and negotiation management against insurance companies, HMOs, and the state, has led to compensation awards totaling hundreds of millions of shekels for the firm’s clients over the years.
