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.

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.

Posted by jwelsh1999 | August 11, 2014 | Wrongful Termination

Hanan Isaacs is the quarterback for my team!

After being wrongfully terminated I turned to Hanan Isaacs and his legal team. He guided me through the legal process and gave me the confidence to fight back. He and his team assisted me with putting my case together and gave me the professional support I needed during the litigation process. I... enjoyed working with Hanan Isaacs and I would not hesitate in recommending him to my family and friends. If you find yourself needing expert legal advice, turn to the law team I trusted with my family, Hanan Isaacs.

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.
