"Crypto doesn't disappear when a marriage ends.
It just gets harder to find. Unless you know where to look."
I've been a family law lawyer for over a decade.
Most of that time has been spent with people going through the hardest moments of their lives: divorces, inheritances that split families, wills that weren't written in time.
My clients have taught me as much as any textbook.
What matters most to me is that you feel heard.
Not just the facts of your case, but what's actually hard about it.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Every person deserves an approach built around them.
You're welcome to reach out with a question, a doubt, or even when you're not sure yet what you need.
That's what I'm here for too.
The first meeting isn't just a meeting.
For me, it's the moment I understand who's sitting across from me and what they actually need. Not just what's on paper.
Crypto assets pose unique challenges in family and inheritance law, requiring — alongside legal expertise — a practical understanding of how these assets are held, transferred, and secured. The experience and knowledge I have built in this field allow me to identify the issues specific to these assets and provide a tailored legal and practical response.
Crypto assets can be difficult to trace, especially when one spouse is unaware of their existence. Where there is a concern that digital assets are being held, it is crucial to examine the matter at an early stage, before any steps are taken toward separation, and to act lawfully and prudently to locate them and protect the rights in them.

Handling them requires an understanding of the technological mechanism alongside the law, in order to preserve the assets, prevent their loss, and enable their transfer to the heirs.

Building the right mechanisms into a will and a lasting power of attorney protects both the security of the assets today and the ability to realize them in the future.

Combining my legal experience in family and inheritance law with his legal, technological, and practical expertise in crypto lets us provide a complete framework — from identifying the issue and building the right legal solution, through its practical implementation on the crypto assets themselves, to handling complex matters within legal proceedings. In suitable cases, Shay Davidov also prepares legal opinions on crypto that are submitted to the court.
Some cases end with an agreement and dignity.
Others go to court.
I'm with you either way, committed to finding the best legal solution for you.
Before I say a word about the law, I want to understand what's happening with you. What matters, what you're afraid of, what you actually need. Only then can we build something real.
Not for me, not for you. At every stage you know exactly where we are, what's coming, and what's on the table. Transparency is not a bonus. It's the foundation.
A mutual resolution, when it's right, is worth more than a courtroom win. But when it needs to be a fight, I know how to do that too.
Send a message here, give me a call, or text me directly. I respond to everyone. And if you're not sure yet whether I'm the right person for your situation. That's exactly what the first call is for.
