Excellent Person To Have In Your Corner

The best way to go about explaining Isaac’s competency is to metaphorically refer to his judicial strategy like a chess game. He knows the penal codes, he has working relationships with the right people who respect him, and he delivers. Isaac is the type of attorney who when you hire, and then tell p...eople who are“in the know” about it, they have a brow raised reaction. Like, “O you hired Isaac Blumberg?” I have had other attorneys working for me who would say, “well you got Isaac Blumberg working for you, so your in good hands” Isaac is not just popular, he is well known in the court system as being a very good attorney. This reputation has an impact on the Judges as they all respect him. The same goes for prosecutors and DAs. I can’t say if they all like him or not, but one thing I can say is “they have respect for him as being a competent attorney” So when he presents a deal for them to consider, it isn’t just pushed off the table. I do not wish to go into details of my case, but I have been standing next to him when he has pulled the rug out from someone testifying for the prosecutor against me. What I mean by that, is the individual testifying thought they had something concrete to say, but after the hearing with Isaac where he questioned them, they left the court room second guessing the validity of their testimony. I mentioned chess earlier because he is always strategic. Where some attorneys with less experience may take a deal or make a premature decision, Isaac is patient and contemplative, working the long term strategy in his favor. All legally of course, but there is a method to defense, and when you see a seasoned lawyer like Isaac defend you, it makes you feel like you’re in a movie it is so epic. I have used his services in 2020 and 2022. For both cases, he likely saved my life. Thank you Isaac, I appreciate and love you like family. Too bad I moved up to Washington state now, i’d love to see you again to chat without needing your services.

First-Rate

I believe Mr. Blumberg is by far the best Man for the job and just in general a man of his word and a great man overall! Almost immediately as I came in to his office, he began the process of moving my case in a positive direction in a very efficient manner to ultimately come to a beneficial resoluti...on for my case. At any time I needed an update or had a question, Mr. Blumberg was always available to help and respond quickly with a high level of knowledge and professionalism as he kept me informed throughout the entire process. His integrity is impeachable and my only regret is I didn’t locate him sooner. I highly recommend Mr. Blumberg as he is an amazing attorney! Thank you so much for everything.

Wreckless going over 110 mph

SDPD wasn't giving up they wanted to take away my license, but Isaac wasn't giving up either. While other lawyers were telling me that I was going to lose my license and have some fines. SDPD set a court date and a DMV hearing, the DA didn't file on the first date and Isaac had the case dismissed the... second time around. He also got me off on the DMV hearing, A very experienced lawyer that knows what he's doing, don't think twice about hiring Isaac very serious about his work and clients. I would definitely hire Isaac again; this could have affected me badly if I didn't hire Isaac.......

Feed on our fears and worst case scenario

Fiance and I came in for consultation and for someone to advocate for us in this life changing event. Over the phone, Isaac confidently advised that he can get this case dismissed and to come into his office for further consultation. Once in the office, I asked what made him so confident in getting t...his dismissed, and his response was, " trust me! You'll be glad you hired me" Avoided the question entirely and kept asking if we were ready to retain him after 10 mins of meeting. He fed us the worst-case scenario and riddled us with fear and made us feel even more distraught. Almost a month later, nothing has occurred that he said might. His sales tactic are commendable. He fed on our fears and blew the situation out of proportion. We're out $1300. Nothing was completed during this time that would assist us in anyway, he did not speak on our behalf, nothing was gained from our experience with him. This is our lost but hopefully you can learn from our experience. This is the reason why people don't trust attorneys

Outstanding Defense Attorney!!!

I hired Attorney Blumberg to take my case. With the evidence on the table, it seems I’m likely to be convicted in a crime. Attorney Blumberg fought my case so hard. I’m impressed that he convinced the judge that it was an isolated incident. The DA was not happy with the judge’s decision and start...ed to utter some petty things which made the judge unhappy. I was entered in a two year diversion program which better than being in probation. Today, my case is dismissed and sealed. I’m very happy with the outcome. Attorney Blumberg saved me and I can’t thank him enough. I got my life back. His price is very reasonable and worth it. Like what most of the reviews here, no promises but will work hard on your case. My family and I thank you!!! Don’t wait, hire now!!!
