Highly Recommend

Hanan represented me in my divorce. He provided clear, sound advice during what was an extremely emotional experience. He handled negotiations effectively and efficiently. My settlement was fair and was very pleased with the outcome. I've since had Hanan provide very helpful advice on a non-compe...titive agreement from a former employer as I pursued new opportunities. He assisted in review of draft communications with the employer. These resulted in a positive outcome.

HR issue Resolution

I hired Hanan to address an ongoing HR issue. Hanan listened carefully and reviewed the documentation that I provided him. He placed his focus on what was necessary to get the job done most effectively, efficiently and economically. Hanan was highly knowlegable, very effective, communicative, di...rect, empathetic and supportive throughout. He truly committed to vigorously working toward and obtaining a resolution that was in my best interest. Hanan doesn't just give knowlegable legal advice. He produces results. He is a highly effective attorney and was a pleasure to work with throughout. I will add that his staff was a pleasure to work with as well. They are professional, courteous and kind.

I could't have been happier with hiring Hanan Isaacs from my employment contract. He was thorough, efficient, persistent and successful in getting me everything that I wanted. I would highly recommend him for employment law.

He just wants your money

This law firm is primarily interested in your money. There is a $250 consult fee. During this consultation, there are absolutely NO guarantee of useful information. He can simply use this time to advertise himself instead of helping you and try to convince you to give him a retainer. If $250/hour is ...his fee, you can imagine how much the retainer is. I contacted this law firm because my employer refused to pay me for the last two months of work. I'm strapped for money and need to pursue the employer to get them to pay me for the work done. At this point if my lawyer wants to drain the few dollars I have left, how am I supposed to survive? There needs to be a law which mandates that attorneys work on commission at least 30% of the cases. These rates are just plain ridiculous. Big corporations might be able to afford that but how can an average person who has employment issues afford that kind of money?? I can't imagine that the framers of the constitution ever imagined basic subsistence would be this complicated.

Hi Muhammad, Thank you for your comment. Since our request for a consult fee offended you, apparently on your first call to the office, you never gave our law firm a chance to help you. Our one-hour consult fee is set at a reduced rate, as a courtesy to potential clients. Experienced employment lawyers often charge a consult fee. In this office, we provide real value for the time we meet. Sometimes, we can solve the person’s entire problem in that single meeting, or send him/her away with a complete plan of action that may require no legal assistance at all. Our clients are highly appreciative of our work, and many of them let us know that. As a professional business, we have determined we cannot afford to give away hundreds of hours of time per year. It makes no business sense for us to spend free time evaluating people’s claims. We do not judge other lawyers for choosing a different model. We just know what works for us. We wish you the best of luck in finding an attorney who suits your needs. Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
