Real Estate Attorney

Issa Abuaita in my opinion is one of the most highly skilled and knowledgeable real estate attorneys in southern California. He is articulate and enthusiastic about his work and in helping people. Issa has an excellent way of conveying, accurately and precisely, to his clients their options. He re...lates to and has an excellent rapport with people. Without him I would not have been able to "short sell" my house and subsequently buy another. I would highly recommend him as he has a "let's get it done" mantra. Thank you, Issa for all you've done.

A Step Ahead of the Rest

Issa takes the time to listen and get to know you. He truly cares about all of his clients and it shows in his work. He is highly educated, extremely smart and very hard working. And please don't let his calm mellow demeanor fool you, this attorney can be a bulldog when you need him to. We've worked ...together on multiple matters and I've never been anything short 100% satisfied.

Trustworthy Lawyer.

Out of all the lawyers I have experienced during my 35 Years of being a small business owner. No one I repeat NO ONE! Served me better in court than Mr. Abuaita. When I first met Mr. Abuaita a couple years ago for a small claimed case. He took the time to get know me and telling me that everythi...ng is going okay. His knowledgeable and responsive work ethic kept me me informed during the whole process. I will recommend Mr. Abuaita again and many more years to come!

Very easy to work with!

I've worked with Issa in many capacities over the past (4) years and I have yet to meet another attorney that cares for his clients as much as he does. Don't let his personable approach and easy demeanor fool you, as his tenacity to deliver results is second to none! He is definitely worth his weight... in gold and is one of the best attorneys in Southern California (if not the country)!

Incredible attorney, Honest and gets results

I retained the services of the Divorce Attorneys at IGA Law to represent me in a major child custody battle with my ex-wife. The odds were stacked against me due to a previous order that my wife would have primary custody of my children. After a three day hearing the court reversed the previous or...der and awarded me primary custody of my children. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
