Competent, Experienced and Compassionate

Divorce is a stressful and emotional experience, and finding a lawyer with the right balance of experience, effectiveness, and sensitivity to the situation isn't easy. Hanan Isaacs fulfilled all of these needs and exemplified many other positive qualities to boot. He was honest, forthright, and alway...s clear about the range of possibilities, measures and options available. He understood my situation perfectly, and his recommendations were spot-on. On top of that, I found him to be a sensitive and compassionate guide through a complicated journey. I recommend him in the highest terms.

Excellent attorney

Hanan is a very compassionate attorney, and also a tough one. He worked with me during an incredibly difficult life transition. He was always there - nights, weekends, whenever I needed help, he was there. Never pushed me, never told me empty words or set unrealistic expectations. He guided me on... the right path, allowing me to make the decisions that were right for me and my family, and working hard to make sure I got a fair outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Hanan - he's awesome.

Hanan Isaacs

Hanan Isaacs is an intelligent, compassionate, reasonbable and superbly effective attorney. It had come to a period in my life that I was recently widowed, a completely new empty nester, and was receiving pressure from my employer to comply with unreasonable demands, Hanan and I met, laid out a str...ategy and successfully followed it. Hanan handled all communication and negotiations with my former employer. He established a very credible relationship with my former employer's GC which resulted in a quick resolution of my situation. Hanan's calm and confident demeanor reduced the stressfullness of my dilemma. Hanan Issacs is a total professional and delivered what I had sought in someone to represent me.

Brilliant, Knowledgeable, Compassionate

I can't say enough about Hanan, but little over a year ago, my life changed for the worse. I was falsely accused, and charged with pretty serious issues. I searched and interviewed several attorneys, and Hanan was the last appointment that day. I was absolutely devastated at some of the advice I had... received earlier in the day and was expecting to hear more of the same as I waited to meet with Hanan. I explained the accusations to him and he listened with empathy and got right on the phone and started working on my case before I even signed a retainer agreement; and has continued to do just that. He was very understanding and never once made me feel like this was just another case. He made me feel like this was just as important to him as it was to me. This situation have been a life changing event for me and my family. I'm confident that this matter will be resolved soon. I will not trust my life to anyone else but, Hanan and his team. He was exactly what I needed, a fierce, yet compassionate mediator & negotiator.

Great Job. Thank You

I write to express just how grateful I am to my attorney, Hanan Isaacs. Last year I reached out to approximately 50 New Jersey attorneys, sending a letter to explain my recent employment termination. I strongly felt that I was wrongfully terminated, but wasn’t sure if there were grounds for a lawsu...it based on my unusual facts. Of the lawyers who replied, most said how terrible it was that an employer would terminate me under such circumstances, but declined to accept my case based on “no precedent”. Some attorneys expressed mild interest. After I received a return phone call from Hanan Isaacs, I knew I had found the attorney I wanted to represent me. Hanan was so knowledgeable with employment law, and he stayed on the phone with me, researching and discussing how he might approach filing a case for me. It felt great to have him in my corner. Hanan was not only empathic, he was determined to see that I was compensated for what he believed was an unjust termination that caused me extreme hardship. Hanan is not only a very competent attorney, but he is so humane in his approach and how he dealt with me. He never gave me false hope, and he never gave up. In the end, he was able to have the case mediated and settled for an amount that benefited me far more than it did his firm or him. Hanan looked out for my best interests and was able to accomplish what other attorneys told me could NOT be done. Hanan treated me like a family member rather than a client. He never rushed me off the phone when I called and would frequently email me, or have his highly competent staff contact me, with updates on my case. He never forgot about me or my case, he remembered every detail, and he made me feel important. I had to write this letter because when you are in a situation where you need an attorney to handle your case, finding the right attorney is the most important thing. Hanan was the right lawyer for me.
