Mr. Isso was amazing!

Paul Isso took care of my legal issue and I didn’t even have to go to court! The state tried to charge me again for a ticket I ALREADY PAID FOR! The courts even wanted to put me on probation! For a ticket I already paid for and the ticket wasn’t even in this state!!! That’s how messed up this state... govt is!! Paul Isso saved me from all this BS! I would definitely call on him again if I ever need legal issues taken care of!! Thanks Paul Isso!!

Contact review

Mr. Isso was very perfessional and really helpful. I had some business contracts that needed to be looked over. I hired Mr. Isso to take a look at the contracts to make sure everything was OK. Mr. Isso found a few mistakes and explained to me what needed to be changed and why. I'm very pleased wit...h his work and will always use him in the future to look over my legal documents.

Changing the Lawyer "Rep"

We've all heard the joke re the difference between a sucker fish and an attorney. . . Isso is changing the game. I was utterly impressed by his professionalism, case due diligence, responsiveness, 'out of the box' strategy(s) and overall GENUINE concern for my best interest. Regardless of the practic...e area/type of counsel needed, my representation will always be deferred to him. Many thanks Paul!

Great lawyer

Mr. Paul Isso certainly was a great lawyer. He was very personal, friendly and he truly cared about my case. Paul was very professional and was able to explain the whole process to me before we stepped into the courtroom. Paul helped me take care of two offenses, one being a felony by getting one exp...unged and the felony reduced to a low misdemeanor. I am thankful for his help and would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
