“Despite the eight-hour time difference, we felt that he was available to us whenever we needed him and never had to wait for a response.”
We absolutely loved the experience of having Oriya as our lawyer. From the outset, Oriya proved to be an honest, straightforward person, and he continued to be so through several months of legal process. In addition, the situation became complicated due to a difficult seller and the war breaking out mid-sale, yet Oriya continued to keep everyone happy and corresponded with each party for us. Also, he was extremely organized so that we never missed any deadlines and walked us through what to expect around each turn. Lastly, despite the eight-hour time difference, we felt that he was available to us whenever we needed him and never had to wait for a response. He went above and beyond his job description, making sure everything was taken care of whether it was his responsibility or not.
Buying our house before making Aliyah, we were nervous that the process would be extremely difficult and stressful. Oriya made sure it was as smooth as possible and we are so grateful to him. We could not recommend Oriya more strongly to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Israel.

“We would particularly
recommend him to Anglos”
We would like to take this opportunity to whole-heartedly recommend Oriya Shoat, for his legal handling of a series of our real estate transactions during the past year. Oriya was recommended by my son, who had used his services in the past.
As a US attorney and a new oleh, I recognized that I was not sufficiently familiar with Israeli real estate law and required a basic understanding to make me feel comfortable. Oriya, together with my real estate agent, took the time and had the patience to explain and guide us through the particulars of Israeli law that applied to our transactions (both purchase and sale). We found him to be honest, forthcoming and knowledgeable in all the issues involved. His command of English was obviously a plus in our achieving a positive comfort level. As a result of our experience with Oriya, he has our unqualified endorsement. We would particularly recommend him to Anglos. His specific language skills and professional acumen resulted in a more than satisfactory level of comfort.
Sincerely,
Harold and Deborah Polster
“Oriya not only exhibited professionalism and knowledge, but his patience, energy, and time invested in coordinating all aspects of the deal provided us with a sense of personal concern, as well“
It is difficult to adequately express how complex a process it is to purchase an asset in Israel while located overseas. There are many aspects involved, encompassing areas technical, legal and financial. Maneuvering through this from a distance, even in these days of electronic communication, is not easy .
Fortunately, Oriya Shohat was recommended to us and we professionally engaged him to represent us. Oriya successfully provided us with all the legal services needed to efficiently support and bring to fruition the purchase of our property.
Oriya not only exhibited professionalism and knowledge, but his patience, energy, and time invested in coordinating all aspects of the deal provided us with a sense of personal concern, as well. This was especially true when some unexpected obstacles arose, Oriya’s interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities served as highly effective tools in reaching timely and efficient solutions for all parties involved.
I would highly recommend retaining the services of Oriya Shohat.

“I highly recommend Oriya, as he helped to make the purchasing process as simple as possible”
I am pleased to recommend Oriya Shochat as a lawyer for anyone purchasing a home or apartment in Israel, especially
for purchasers living in the United States.
During my search for a Jerusalem apartment, I was cautioned by many people that the purchasing process has
numerous steps and can be very complicated. Fortunately, I was referred to Oriya as my attorney, and he was able to
greatly simplify the process. Oriya regularly provided me with status updates regarding legal matters as well as with
details about any required next steps. In addition, Oriya was very knowledgeable about other purchase-related needs,
such as the inspection, mortgage and currency conversion processes. Oriya’s English is perfect and his emails and other
correspondence were always timely and clear.
I highly recommend Oriya, as he helped to make the purchasing process as simple as possible.

“Although we had significant complications in selling our apartment, Oriya was positive and confident that everything would work out and designed a sale agreement which protected us”

” At one point, he even involved the general manager of the Ministry of Housing in completing the desired registration”
When we were in pursuit of purchasing our first apartment, we used the services of Oriya.
Due to unique circumstances, the process became more prolonged and complex than expected. It came to the point that we felt the need to offer Oriya an increase in his fee. He simply refused.
Despite facing complicated bureaucratic obstacles, Oriya conducted himself with patience, persistence, and creativity until reaching a solution. At one point, he even involved the general manager of the Ministry of Housing in completing the desired registration. His high professional standard, composure, demeanor, and positive energy, alleviated this process, providing a more manageable, transparent, and smooth experience.

חיפשנו עורך דין למכירה וקנית דירה בירושלים. אחד שמכיר את המורכבות של שכונת הקטמונים. חבר המליץ לנו על אוריה. נוצר קליק ויצאנו לדרך. לאחר עיסקה סבוכה וארוכה, שנגרמה מסחבת לא צפויה במנהל מקרקעי ישראל, אנחנו יכולים לומר שאוריה נתן את הנשמה, בסבלנות, במאור פנים, גם בעוצמה כשהיה צורך, ואפילו פתח לפנינו דלתות במשרד עורכי דין נכבד שלא היו נפתחות לולא ההערכה והחיבה שרכשו לו שם. (אמר לי שם מנהל המשרד “אני אומר לך, אם זה לא היה אוריה שאני כל כך אוהב, לא הייתי עושה את זה”). עורך דין שהוא חבר. ממליצים בחום.

“Oriya was there every step of the way and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that everything ran smoothly”
The process of selling & purchasing a home can sometimes be a long
and challenging process.
From the get-go it was clear to us that we would need a very patient
lawyer for this journey.
After some shopping and asking around it was recommended that we
meet with Oriya.
We met and thank god we made the right choice.
It was not a smooth ride due to various bureaucratic obstacles – but
Oriya was there every step of the way and went above and beyond the call of
duty to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
Oriya’s knowledge, patience and kindness made the journey
manageable and successful!

“Well represented and protected having Oriya on our team”
We were pleased to find Oriya, who helped us finalize our lease when we rented an apartment during a pilot
trip two months before our Aliya. In Israel, you need a qualified attorney to buy or rent a home, because the
contracts do not necessarily have a standard form and need close review to protect the rights of all parties.
With his excellent English, Oriya clearly explained every step as the process unfolded. We felt well
represented and protected having Oriya on our team

“It was reassuring to have him work with us, and I highly recommend him for his legal expertise and pleasant demeanor”
I would like to add my recommendation to the letters I have seen here. Attorney Shohat represented us recently in a somewhat complicated real estate transaction. He handled the legal and bureaucratic details with alacrity and professionalism. It was reassuring to have him work with us, and I highly recommend him for his legal expertise and pleasant demeanor.
