Dr. Yair Shiber and Doron Shiber Law Office

Shiber Law Firm is a leading law office specializes in family and inheritance law. These are two unique and complex circumstances where the parties of the conflict are family members who are experiencing difficulties and challenges that require a solution. The firm was founded in 2004 by two brothers: Attorney Dr. Yair Shiber and Attorney Doron Shiber.
The firm operates with professionalism, sensibility and determination. It provides solutions to its clients in all matters pertaining to divorce procedures, written claims, division of property, alimony - spousal and child support, child custody arrangements, civil marriages, financial agreements, wills, inheritances, paternity, bastardy law, guardianships, Hague Convention issues, and other family law-related matters.
There are several departments in the office run by the best lawyers in the field of family law, headed by Dr. Yair Shiber and Doron Shiber. Together with their other brother, Eyal, who is now a doctor of geophysics, they were raised in an underprivileged neighborhood of Bat Yam. The late Tzvia and Yaakov Shiber, their parents, instilled in them the belief that everything was possible. Their experience in rising from the bottom and paving their own way to the top gave them the determination to succeed in every case and refuse to accept their place in the legal hierarchy as a given. As part of this, each case is treated individually, and they devote time and resources to achieving the best results. Along with the Shiber brothers, there are three other lawyers in the firm’s legal team, as well as an intern who is also a Rabbinical solicitor.

Featured Cases in the Media

Having an excellent reputation, Shiber Law Firm selects its cases carefully. As part of the unique cases handled by the office, there are cases related to reproductive rights after death, that are bringing children into the world with the dead person’s sperm after death.
In this framework, Shiber Law Firm represented the unique case of the late Capt Omri Shahar, a distinguished navy officer who was killed in a car accident during his military service and whose parents wanted to raise a child with the sperm of their deceased son.
A precedent was set in the Family Court after the Shiber brothers obtained a ruling stating that Omri’s parents are indeed entitled to have a child from their son’s sperm, which was the first case of its kind in the world and it received worldwide publicity as well. As a result of this ruling, a similar ruling was given to parents in a similar situation in Switzerland. The firm also specializes in the complex issue area of bastardy and even reached a verdict that legalized the wedding of two bastard brothers. Since then, the Shiber brothers have represented many more cases related to this issue.

Considering the Family Unit and the Children

The Shiber brothers also handle more traditional family law cases, such as divorces and inheritance disputes, incorporating their unique perspectives into them. As a result of their excellent communication skills and empathetic abilities, the two understand that a divorce conflict is essentially a family crisis. Together, they find solutions for resolving the dispute and dividing the property. Despite the new crisis reality created by the parties, they place the entire family unit and its children at the center of their efforts.
