THE G.O.A.T

Ms. Isabelle went above & beyond for myself and my family. I don't want to go too far into my case, but she saved my life. Over the years she worked for me and my case like nobody else could. She took time and attention to get every detail; she could get, to get me the best possible outcome. She is o...ne of a kind you'll never find a better attorney. She fights hard and she's very compassionate. I wake up everyday thankful she took my case on. There's not enough praise i could give her. When you get Isabelle your getting the best.

The BEST Attorney!!!

Isabelle stood up for my son who was bullied by the police. He received charges relating to a minor amount of marijuana and resisting arrest and assault on a police officer. He was found not guilty on all but one charge and on that one he received probation before judgment. She is now getting my s...on's charges expunged. I am a paralegal and I can honestly say that she is by far the most caring, competent, brilliant lawyer that I have ever met. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a criminal attorney. I wish all lawyers were as amazing as her!

Did an excellent job on my court case, definitely a professional, that cares about rehabilitation. And takes time to understand your case.

She's The BEST.

I first met Isabelle while she was at the Public Defender's Office and right off the bat what was clearly distinguishable from any other PD I've ever dealt with is that she genuinely cared. Although, I was guilty of a crime, she realized that due to an acute mental condition and personal circumstanc...es that I should've received treatment rather than jail, and she fought for that and we got it. I received no jail time. I later violated the conditions of my release and committed another crime, but again Isabelle fought hard for me and I only received 5 1/2 weeks of jail, at the county jail, and I spent the remainder of my sentence at PRC. Recently, I wanted to go for reconsideration and contacted Isabelle to represent me, but found that she'd started her own practice. While I was very excited that she'd started her own business, I was saddened that she would not be able to represent me because of my financial situation, but I knew that no one could represent me better than she could, so I figured out a way an came up with the money and it was well worth it. My reconsideration was granted and no I'm home with my family and successfully moving forward with my probation. No one else could have done a better job for me. Isabelle is one of the best people I've ever met, and an equally as great attorney. Thanks for everything Isabelle!

A wonderful Representative

Isabelle Raquin represented my son 24 year old son this year on a criminal burglary case. She was able to recognize that my son had a long standing mental disability since school age and recommended that he be evaluated by professionals. With this recommendation, the judge was able to recognize tha...t my sons criminal behavior was linked to an overlooked mental health need since his teenage years. With this discovery the judge was able to recommend the long needed treatment for my son to get on the right path. Prior to being represented by Isabelle, my son had seen the public defenders office 17 times. It was with her assistance that he was able to get the help he needed. I am thankful for her service and great representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Isabel is without exception one of the best attorneys with whom I have collaborated. She is outstanding in every aspect of what makes her a good lawyer -- and co-counsel: fierce dedication, intuitively resourceful, loyal to the end -- and quite likeable (by a jury!!) I have actually worked many cases with her and would highly recommend her as an attorney. Her heart is in the right place; she is quick on her feet; and if she ever "goes down," it is only after a huge fight on behalf of her client!!"

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Isabelle is not only a great attorney, but a great mentor as well. I have had the opportunity to watch her fight tirelessly for her clients time and time again, and have witnessed first hand the dedication, passion, and hard work she puts into every case she receives. While some attorneys may back down when the odds are stacked against their client, Isabelle will never stop fighting for her's. Isabelle's clients are lucky to have her on their team and I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from her so early in my career."
