Patricia Issberner

I have used numerous lawyers in the past and nobody compares to Patricia Issberner. She has helped me resolve issues with my ex that have come up years after my divorce. I would never use anyone else ever again! She is extremely intelligent, and has an amazing way of putting me at ease through a stre...ssful situation with my ex. In one court appearance she had the case dismissed, meanwhile other attorney's that I spoke with beforehand thought I was in for a long, expensive battle with my ex again. She knows family law inside and out! This lawyer is a blessing to my family. DO NOT HIRE ANYONE ELSE! I am telling you for the first time in 9 years I finally have a lawyer that I love. Her staff is great, kind and professional. Very efficient! Please know that I am speaking from experience, you are in the BEST hands when you work with Patricia Issberner! Her experience and the way she treats you will make you feel so confident, during your stressful time. If you want something handled right, if you want it resolved, this is the lawyer for you!

My first meeting with Ms Issberner was in July of 2015. This is how it went. If I liked summer Patricia liked summer. If I liked the color blue Patricia like the color blue. We were going to stand together. We were going to get my child support modified, because my daughter was in a boarding school. ...We were going to get all the money my Ex owed me. Ms Issberner told me that "fathers are the most important parent a child could have." I told Ms Issberner that if we had a favorable outcome in these quest, I would like to file for custody of my daughter. I asked Ms Issberner if she would be handeling my case personally. She said she would. This was important to me. Patricia did not personally represent me. She delegated my case to a subordinate. When I called to inquire about this, I was told, "Patricia is sick." I was to discover that Patricia Issberner gets sick a lot. Patricia's employee, wrote up what I thought was a very good and comprehensive request to the court in my behalf. The problems started when we got to our first hearing. My lawyer, Ms Issberner's subordinate, seemed nervous in court. She stuttered and stammered and was to,d several times by the judge to speak up. In addition to this Ms Issberner's office never prepped me for this hearing, in fact they never told me about it. This lack of clear communication on the part of Patricia Issberner and her staff, as I was to discover at a later date, was endemic in her office. This very day following the hearing, Patricia's subordinate, my attorney, the only person in that office that I had spent time discussing my case with was leaving the Issberner law office. She told me her reasons, but I will not discuss them here. What is important is that when I left the courthouse I called Ms Issberner's office to ask why I was never told about this, and what Patricia's plans for my case were going forward. I was told by Ms Issberner's staff member, and I quote, "Patricia will not talk to you, unless you pay her another $5,000 dollars." Remarkable? You bet. This person told me that I had to replenish my retainer, before I could talk to my lawyer, and see if I wanted her to still be my lawyer. I told the person at Ms Issberner's office, "tell Patricia that I recorded all our conversations." It worked, Patricia called me. Of course she denied ever saying she wanted $5,000 before talking to me. She also said, that now she would be taking over my case. I had already paid $5,000 to Patricia. Her office had the box of financial information that I meticulously compiled and categorized for her ease. It was going to cost me even more money to start over with a new lawyer, and there was no gaurntee that I would have any more success with them. I decided to accept the apology and meet with Patricia. I mer her and gave her another $5,000. I updated and recatagorised the files I left with Patricia. On may 12, 2016 we were due for another hearing. On may 11, sometime in the afternoon Ms Issberner's office called my home. They asked me, "are you going to court tomorrow?" I said, "yes." She said to me, " we have you scheduled at our office, but they don't have you on the docket at the court." "I'm going to call the court and see what is going on." And that is the last I heard from her. The next day I went to court. I sat and waited for 3 hours until I was brought by the court room. The officer came out handed me a appearance ticket, with a date of June 30 on it. He said to me, "your lawyer postponed. I guess you didn't get the memo." That was enough for me. I called the Issberner office, and told them they were fired. Oddly enough, Patricia's office said I was not on the docket at court, yet when I signed in on the hearing date, my name was on the officers paper work.

Pat has been very helpful in instructing me in my divorce and custody case. From the moment I stepped into her office she has become a part of my team and has made sure that I understand everything that is going on to the point where she has worked with me financially. I trust her judgement becaus...e she is upfront and honest and tells it like it is. She took the time to help me prepare for what is a most difficult time. She is willing to go the extra mile even though she expects little in return. She is prompt to return phone calls and texts. I'm glad I hired Pat. I've recommended Pat to relatives and friends.
