Adriane Maura Isenberg

It’s taken me longer than intended to write this review… I first met Attorney Isenberg years ago after experiencing a very difficult separation and betrayal on all fronts. I hired her to represent me in a complicated divorce and custody case that unfortunately dragged on for subsequent years with add...itional filings. She was outstanding! She mopped the floor with my ex-spouse’s legal counsel, who was not prepared during court proceedings. She helped me to think about best outcomes, and has continued to provide stellar service through the years. Attorneys are not magicians - if you do your part in gathering and keeping good records, a good attorney can help resolve matters in your favor. If I could give Adriane more than five stars, I would.

Ms. Isenberg represented me a few years ago in a horrendous set of circumstances. My children had been kidnapped and taken out of state by the mother without warning. With the compassionate counsel and representation from Ms. Isenberg, She went after my kids for me when I did not have the ability t...o do it myself. We obtained the best results that I could have hoped for at the time and me and my young children are a family again. In Many cases like mine, fathers and children do not get to be a family ever again. Ms. Isenberg and her team fought ferociously in court on my behalf and I would not have been able to do it without her in every true meaning of the phrase. I highly recommend her. It has been a few years and I wanted to return and write this as I should have previously.

This lawyer was recommended to me, if you read this, please do not hire this attorney, she was so unprepared, disorganized, and not at all good at her practice. She had one year to prepare for my case, and after a full year and charging me for preparing, she literally showed up at mediation without h...aving read the opposing party's information, not having anything ready, and not saying a word to help me, or fight for me. I lost everything because I trusted and listened to her advice, also, she does not bill you as promised, you get one final statement, she did not ever notify me of her charges, and when you do get the statement, the dates will be incorrect, who did it will be incorrect, she will go over the original agreed upon amount , by a significant amount of dollars as she charges you for her rate, and her rate only, never the secretary (who does all of the foot work), never anyone else, 350$ an hour across the line, for that I would advise you to hire a knowledgeable attorney. The prior reviews are right, she will drop the ball, as she will get ran over by any other attorney, as they probably did prepare, and they actually know case law.

I hired this divorce attorney based on a recommendation from my marriage counselor. I was going through a very contentious divorce in 2012. This attorney assured me that she was experienced with my type of situation and was quick to take my $4,000.00 retainer fee. Unfortunately, after that, it was l...ike pulling teeth to get her to react or act on ANYTHING. After 2 1/2 years, I was still not divorced on what should have been a simple divorce (no children, no debt, no liens, etc.). This attorney ignored my many emails and phone calls repeatedly and oftentimes it was weeks and even months until I would get a return call or hear back from her (I've got all of this documented). Even my elderly parents stepped in and tried repeatedly to get her engaged and working for me even offering her more money but to no avail. Out of sheer desperation, I finally "fired" her and hired myself a "real" attorney. As Adriane would not turn over any all ready completed documents, my new attorney had to start from square one on my divorce. He was able to complete my divorce in 10 months (it would have been less but the opposing lawyer took 3 months off for maternity leave). I would not recommend Adriane Isenberg for anything and could not imagine a worse more disappointing attorney.
