Aggressive Defense for an overly Aggressive Prosecutor

In April of 2013, myself and 5 other people were unjustly charged by an overly aggressive Utah Prosecutor from the Attorney General’s Office with multiple felonies for Fraud. I was referred to Tara Isaacson by an Attorney in my area, who was unable to represent me. From the very first meeting, I fe...lt as though Attorney Isaacson was very upfront and honest. She wanted me to understand all the possible outcomes to my case. Once she reviewed the evidence and spent a considerable amount of time talking to me, she went to work. It took 20 months before we were able to get a preliminary hearing. We had many hearings in that 20 month period. At every hearing Attorney Isaacson and her Partner Attorney Bugden were on time, prepared and ready to defend me. Every brief that was required to be filed was delivered to the Judge on time and in most cases ahead of time. Not all the defendants in the case were able to say the same. After one of the hearings, one of the other Attorneys, that represented a different defendant, said ‘We are so glad you hired Attorney Isaacson and Attorney Bugden, they make our job so much easier’. Attorney Isaacson was poised and showed great skill in the court room. The briefs were well written and to the point. Her examination of the State's witnesses were very detailed and well planned out. I was very impressed with her abilities in the court room! When you are facing Felony Charges you need a well respected and aggressive Attorney. Attorney Isaacson is both. The fee schedule was set up front and at no time was I charged more than I had been told. There was complete transparency in all matters. Attorney Isaacson answered every question I asked and I never felt like I was bothering her. The Judge finally dismissed all charges at the preliminary hearing. The genuine emotion of relief I felt from Attorney Isaacson on that day was amazing. I know she takes her job very personally and always has the best interest of her clients at heart. I will ALWAYS refer her to anyone that is in need of a defense Attorney.
