Hanan M Isaacs

When someone is searching for the right attorney to guide them through the divorce process, they often have a specific vision in mind, possibly looking for someone they see as “tough as nails“ or a “powerhouse.” In my case, I knew that I needed someone gentler: a trusted advisor who would be able to ...guide me through what I feared might be the worst experience of my life. Fortunately, I was able to find the absolute best combination of power, empathy, and wisdom in Hanan. I’m so pleased with the outcome. Having borrowed some of Hanan’s fortitude, I’m starting a new life knowing that I finally met a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Not many people can say that they "miss their lawyer," but I can! Working with Hanan and everyone at KLG was a bright spot in a very dark time.

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.

I used Mr. Isaacs' firm to help me navigate a legal case in 2013 and I was very impressed. Hanan is a great lawyer who stood by me throughout the entire process. He is knowledgeable and quick witted and was a joy to work with. As a result, when I needed to navigate a more complicated issue this year,... I returned to his firm. Again Hanan stood by me the whole time. There are times when he tells you what you NEED to hear, and not what you WANT to hear, but that is his job. He cautioned me against actions he felt were too risky, and was a true advocate for what was truly in my best interest. In the end his council was the best route to take.

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.
