Worst Attorney Ever

I hired this attorney and after an entire year, nothing was done except he ordered my original court case and filed my response. No financial statement was ever provided in that year, even after several requests. I never knew how much money I had left in my account. No court trial date was ever set. ...Just wasted money and a whole year of my life. His office staff person, Jayme, got nasty with me. They did not accept accountability for their lack of communication. Save yourself the headache and go through someone else.

Anyone but him

Garbage lawyer, lies through his teeth, is made fun of by other attorneys in the family court system, always late, rambles on in court.

Very bad, unprepare attorney

In October 2023, I hired Issac's L Fischer services for my restraint order court date set for December 2023. After paying the retainer fee, I expected him to review my case, provide feedback, and guide me through the process. However, he did not fulfill these expectations. He didn't even communic...ate to me anything he was receiving from the prosecutor, but instead waited until to the last hour right before my court case start and showed me what he got from the prosecutor. During the court proceedings, I was disheartened to observe that he made minimal efforts to defend my case. I asked him if he had submitted my response to the judge and asked him to send me back a copy with the Court Clerk's stamp. He didn't have a copy and told me he only dropped the copy of my response in a drop box at the courthouse on that morning of the court date. Clearly, he is very incompetent and unprepared. He just takes the case and sits in to collect the fee without any intention of defending for his client. Stay away from this attorney at all cost.

Best Family Law Attorney in Sacramento!

Hiring Issac Fischer, esq., was the best decision I've made for my family law case! He is thorough, listens to your needs and helps to get the best result possible. From very difficult and nuanced cases, to quick and easy cases, he can handle whatever you throw at him!

Incompetent?

Isaac Fischer said he was an expert on restraining orders and family law and that I had a pretty straight forward case. I have a lot of documentation, videos and still photos and police reports. He failed me as he was never prepared for court, he filled out the wage assignment form completely w...rong and then lied to me about submitting it. I kept waiting for alimony that wasn't coming. He communicated well with the opposing counsel, I am really just guessing on that because he never shared with me what they spoke about. I just saw them laughing, so I guess there were actual words exchanged. I don't drive much so I always had someone else with me, luckily, because they turned into witnesses. The time I did phone court, I just happened to have a witness also. The thing is, I told Isaac I had someone with me, he texted me that he was going to talk to me before court, so I gave Isaac her number (he didn't call) and it didn't stop him from behaving improperly. The last day of his shenanigans, I was supposed to be submitting another I&E, which I was supposed to get phone help with, he kept putting it off, for 3 weeks! I realized on Friday that I wasn't going to get help and it was not getting turned in on Monday. Also, Monday was supposed to be a trial to force sale my house and also regarding a kick out order for my soon to be ex husband. He did not prepare for any of it and every time I asked about it, he would change the subject. So, Friday, late afternoon, I called another lawyer I had interviewed the week before and asked how to proceed. It was too late for her to go to court with me. I had to ask for a continuance. I couldn't believe Isaac had the nerve to show up. He spent all of his time talking to opposing counsel, my soon to be ex and his witnesses. Didn't even acknowledge me for 40 minutes. As soon as I told him I was asking for a continuance to seek alternative counsel, he had no comment for me but he went running back to opposing counsel and said "change of plans" loudly. Then, once in the courtroom, I spoke up right away in front of the judge, asked for continuance to seek alternative counsel. Opposing counsel was trying to charge me for Isaac's incompetence and failures. I will be going to the BAR. I have never wanted to sue anyone before but this is a clear case of fraud and taking advantage of someone when they are down. Breaking the code of ethics. It's just appalling what Isaac has put me through. Oh, I did try to get him to give me a substitution of attorney form a week earlier and he said he didn't understand why, I explained, he had terrible communication and was slacking on preparing, etc. He said he was going to do better and I fell for it. Like I did with my soon to be ex for the last 20 years. Either Isaac is totally incompetent or failed to represent me intentionally.
