tried to seek consultation

So I will be honest and will not delete this review. At the beginning I had wrote a low review because he started a consultation and just stop responding. So he reached out to me to continue the consultation and I deleted my review. Everything was going well as his assistant was mainly the one to hel...p me. I even had my dad go to their office to talk more because it was his case. A week later I needed to talk to them but no one was picking their calls. I can't rely one someone who dosen't follow up with communicating. I am sure he is a good attorney but this was my experience. Please do not attempt to contact me

Lawyer that cares

My son was involved with bad friends that basically got him in trouble. Juvenile arrested him and I had little money to work with. When I found Attorney Issa he said he would work with me with a payment plan. No other attorney was kind as he was. His assistant Aurora was also very nice and helpful. I...t wasn’t cheap but I did what I had to do. Attorney Issa was able to get my son out of jail so that he could spend Christmas with his family. I would recommend this attorney to any one I know. God is good.

The best

He assisted me with a payment plan. He talks to you with respect and he dismissed all my felonies.

Would always recommend

So let me tell you about this man. I got into trouble because I made a mistake. I called many lawyers and they all non shalant about my side of the story. Mr. Issa is the only lawyer that actually LISTENED to what I had to say. He is so professional and very kind. In court he was always on time and a...bout his business. Thank you for your help!
