At 59Law.com, we understand the complexity of facing legal matters when both Halachic and secular considerations are involved. Located in Monsey, New York, our firm offers a unique and comprehensive service for clients seeking representation in Beis Din (Jewish court) while also needing experienced legal guidance in the secular legal system.
From partnership and contractual disputes to inheritance, real estate, and family law matters, our dual expertise means you don’t need to retain both a secular attorney and a separate to’en. We provide full-spectrum representation deeply rooted in Choshen Mishpat, Rambam’s Hilchos Dayanim, and modern civil law so you can resolve disputes effectively, within the framework of your values and within the bounds of the law.
Many members of the Orthodox Jewish community prefer to resolve their disputes in accordance with Halacha through Beis Din. However, in today’s complex legal and financial environment, these matters often overlap with obligations under secular law. Without qualified representation in both systems, parties may face legal vulnerabilities, enforcement issues, or even unintended violations of Jewish or civil obligations.
59Law.com bridges this gap by offering a rare combination: a law firm that not only understands Din Torah proceedings and rabbinic precedent, but also advocates for your interests under New York State law. Whether you are entering Beis Din for a disputed investment, an unpaid loan, or an estate disagreement, we guide you through both the Halachic process and the legal implications that follow. We represent clients in a wide range of Beis Din matters, including the following:
When business ventures sour, questions of ownership, profit-sharing, and dissolution follow. We rely on Choshen Mishpat 176–177 to determine obligations while ensuring compliance with New York business law.
Disputes over terms, performance, and breach are analyzed through the lens of mekach ta’os (mistaken transactions) and civil contract-enforcement principles.
Whether a promissory note governed by halva’ah or a commercial debt, we determine enforceability under Halacha (Choshen Mishpat 97–108) and ensure judgments are actionable in secular court.
From acquisition disputes to silent-partner disagreements, our knowledge spans kinyanim, shetarim, and escrow procedures recognized in New York real estate law.
We balance halachic responsibilities of a po’el (worker) and employer with civil employment laws on termination, unpaid wages, and discrimination.
Allegations of fraud, misappropriation, or breach of fiduciary duty require navigation between dinei nezikin and civil tort law. We assess liability under Halachic standards (geneivah, ona’ah, garmi) while meeting New York evidentiary and procedural requirements.
Many assume a halachic will and a civil will are interchangeable. We advise on yerusha, bechor rights, and strategies to align estate planning with Hilchos Nachalos.
Experienced in both civil divorce and Get proceedings—ensuring custody, support, and property division are addressed in both legal frameworks.
A Din Torah is not simply an informal negotiation or mediation; it is a structured legal proceeding under Jewish law. While there is flexibility in zabla (selecting dayanim) and binding arbitration clauses, the process itself involves:
Where many clients go astray is failing to realize that Beis Din rulings often require secular court confirmation to be enforceable. For example, an award from Beis Din may not automatically create a lien or be collectable unless properly structured as a binding arbitration agreement under New York law. That’s why having one firm, versed in arbitration law, ADR procedures, and halachic protocols, is so valuable.
At 59Law.com, we prepare all necessary shetarim (legal documents) and arbitration agreements in a way that satisfies both systems, reducing the risk of later challenges or complications.
Too often, clients are forced to choose between a to’en who understands the nuances of Halacha and a secular attorney who can protect their rights under state law. This not only doubles costs, but it can also create legal inconsistencies, delays, and conflicting strategies. With 59Law.com, you don’t have to choose. We offer all of our clients the following:
We are also experienced in pre-dispute planning, helping clients draft halachically sound contracts, investor agreements, and estate plans that are legally enforceable and aligned with Halachic values.
Facing a legal dispute is stressful enough without having to straddle two worlds alone.
