Hanan M Isaacs

One of the smartest things I did 3 years and again a few months ago was hire Hanan Isaacs and his team. They make me feel like I'm their only client. Kind and considerate responses almost immediately when I have questions and no one has ever fought harder for me!! Struggling with my long term disab...ility insurance company yet again when I'm obviously disabled, they have previously and are currently fighting so hard on my behalf. (They won the first case and I'm confident they'll win this one too!) This case will take a minute, so when I'm falling apart, they are so kind to patiently lift me back up. Reasonable rates along with 3 of the kindest and smartest people I have ever dealt with. I'm having financial difficulties and they do whatever possible to keep my rates low. I've never heard of a lawyer that does that! HIGHLY recommend them. 5 stars and then some.

I had very bad experience with this lawyer. His firm overcharged me by more than 1000 $ on a simple Settlement agreement and did not want to provide any billing information when I asked why he charged me more than it was projected (verbally and even his retainer agreement stated this). Hanan became v...ery arrogant and defensive and threatened me that he will drop my case. Finally, I had to hire a different lawyer and was actually very happy with it, because Hanan M. Isaacs' firm is not attentive to the details and created multiple mistakes in my Settlement agreement. During the process of the Settlement creation, those errors were found by me and had to be corrected by Isaacs' office. Additionally, Settlement created by Isaacs' office was not complete and new lawyer had to add multiple clauses to protect me (and my wife) better. Additionally, new firm's rates are more reasonable and they provide billing information without me requesting it.

I consulted with Mr. Isaacs for a divorce mediation case. I was prepared to pay the consultation fee. The consultation went very well and I got a good feeling from Mr. Isaacs. A tentative game plan was discussed. The consultation exceeded one hour, but at no time during the consultation was I informe...d that the clock would keep running and the fee if I exceeded the initial hour. Be that as it may, I wanted to retain Mr. Isaacs and paid a double consultation fee. Subsequent days later, after speaking to my spouse about the tentative game plan, I contacted Mr. Issacs office about adjusting the game plan ie., which mediator. Mr. Isaac's's secretary, after speaking to him, informed that Mr. Isaacs had already set the game plan and would not be representing me. I was completely taken back by the response and the fact that he wouldn't speak to me directly but chose to have his secretary pass along the message.

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.

Hanan handled an employment law issue for me and did an excellent job. We didn't have much to work with, and Hanan was honest with me about the best approach (Hanan counseled me to avoid litigation as the expense would not be justified). The most important aspect of Hanan's work for me was that Han...an approached my company in the manner we agreed upon: respectfully, cordially, and with the clear intent of coming to a mutually agreeable conclusion. I believe it was this approach that eventually resulted in an improved severance package from my company. Being aggressive or pushy would have most likely resulted in being rebuffed by the company. Hanan was very communicative - as anyone facing legal matters can tell you, having your lawyer check in and let you know that they're awaiting feedback from the other party, that they're working on X and will get back to you by a certain date, etc, is invaluable and certainly puts the mind at ease. Hanan has a great sense of humor and isn't afraid to be himself with his clients - he comes across as very genuine and likeable. For me, this is important as I don't like the wall that some lawyers put up between themselves and their clients. Hanan addresses you as an equal and a partner in the legal matter. I honestly appreciated working with Hanan and would 100% go back to him again for any future employment issues and/or recommend him to friends and family. I'd also like to comment that his staff were very cordial, professional and made sure that everything was scheduled and organized for us. EXCELLENT LAWYER, GOOD PERSON, GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!
