Best attorney I've ever dealt with

I've never had a better experience with an attorney in my life! Isaac was extremely pleasant when I spoke with him! He was very educated on the laws of postal service seizures! He was upfront and all fees were on a contingency basis. He told me it may take months to get a response and then if we're s...uccessful, it may take a couple more months to get my money back. He had the case resolved and my money back in just over 2 months. I promise you if you're in the market for an attorney DO NOT look any further call Isaac immediately!!

Wonderful Attorney

Isaac is a great Attorney! I hired him for an expungement in Alameda County . He was very informed on the process and kept me up to date from the beginning to the end. He was able to get my expunged granted ASAP! He even followed up with me after all had cleared to let me know all my rights with emp...loyers etc. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable attorney.

entertainment business law issue

Our music band needed some specialized legal advice within the area of entertainment and business law. Isaac Safier exceeded our expectations with his knowledge, responsiveness, and legal research. And on a personal level he is very down to earth and a pleasure to communicate with. He also too...k a very balanced view and did not at all encourage litigation or pump up our belief that we were in the right, but rather enabled us to see the issue from the other side and how we could be threatened and at risk by their actions based on their set of beliefs. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with a sensitive or unusual legal issue.

Happy to he was willing to Lawyer this Lawyer!

I took on an asset forfeiture case for the first time. I consulted with Isaac and he provided very helpful assurance that I was on the right track. Because I hadn't heard back from the federal agency in the allotted time, he helpfully pointed me in the right direction on ways to update myself and m...y client on where the claim was in the process. He was very knowledgeable and gracious to spend his time educating another attorney. I will definitely hire him should the case proceed to litigation.

Above and beyond

Issac has been great at working on expunging my case. He spent long hours gathering all the pieces and advocating on my behalf. Even after I received the signed order, Issac was there to answer all of my questions. He definitely made me feel more at ease with how to navigate the housing and employmen...t market after I received the expungement. He is definietly someone you want in your corner.
