Tara L Isaacson

I became entangled in a Patriot Act related violation while traveling through an airport. It eventually resulted in a grand jury letter two years later. I faced felony charges from the federal court in Austin, Texas. It included a penalty of 5 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. No matter what I ...tried to do to resolve the situation it only got worse with each new event with the differing federal government agencies. We thought we were going to lose our home and I would be in prison for at least 2-3 years minimum. Searching for legal counsel was seemingly impossible adding to my family stress levels. I needed someone we could trust and believe my side of the events and walk us through the process - returning calls in a timely manner. My wife and I made at least 4 dozen phone interviews with differing attorneys in Utah and Texas trying to find help - about 45 calls on a checklist we had. More so difficult in our search, we needed a licensed federal attorney to represent us. We eventually found Tara's firm along the way and received a referral from a counselor at Kirton/McConkie who represent large clients in the Salt Lake area on a national scale. John Wayne said: "Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid." - That's what was happening to me - no matter what I did to resolve the matter, it made things worse. Not until we hired Tara did things get turned around. She was direct and quick with putting me back on track - she asked me what the exact facts were. She also went to work communicating with the federal prosecutor in Texas. As a result, I wasn't apprehended by US Marshals, I wasn't forced to find a bondsman and putting up a hefty bail, and over the course of months, her actions on my behalf and helping me find additional legal counsel in Texas, I was eventually able to stay out of prison and continue providing for my family. She explained everything to me in the process and it became clear how much more severe my problems were than I initially understood. I also studied up on her and knew she'd taken some extreme client problems and worked them out in the courtroom and with prosecutors. The best advice is to simply stay out of trouble but sometimes trouble finds you when you've made dumb mistakes. Hire Tara and move forward as she will get you and your family through it. Please. I feel like I lost 10 years of my life which could've been avoided had I found her sooner.

I have gotten into trouble a few times in my life, twice, it involved Federal Agencies, i was incredibly scared, and it could have turned out worse, much worse than it turned out. She was incredibly thorough, very involved in every aspect of my case, not just that, she knew a lot of the judges, prose...cutors and agents involved. For services like Tara's, you would expect to be paying an incredible amount of money, but you would be wrong, she is very fairly priced, and really, for your freedom, what would you pay? i would consider Tara a friend.

Tara is as good as it gets when it comes to criminal defense. From the moment I hired her she took my cases head on and worked diligently until we reached an outcome that we all felt good about. After multiple DUI's she was able to get me into a substance abuse program and kept me out of jail and all...owed me to work on myself rather than sit in jail/prison. I highly recommend Tara and if you are in need of her services from working with her and researching all that work in her industry there is no one better in my opinion.

Tara is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. She and Wally saved my life and helped me through a really rough time. I came to them after having had some really bad attorneys who only cared about money. She always gave good advice and really cared about me as a person. She went above and bey...ond and I'm eternally grateful. My case had many complexities to it and she was able to navigate all of them. My case involved a lengthy trial, an overzealous prosecutor, and thousands of pages of documents. With Tara's help we were able to overcome all of these tribulations and I was able to start my life again anew.
