Hired Attorney

Tara is highly educated and highly capable. I feel badly for anyone who decides to go up against her because she doesn’t back down, isn’t intimidated, and knows what she is doing. You hire her you are getting THE BEST.

Our family was treated with kindness and exceptional professionalism. Tara is the best in this field. We can't thank her enough for all she did for my son.

I thank God every day that we found Tara and Wally, her partner. They maintained a professional relationship while still showing empathy and care for our son, a Marine, as well as his parents who were falling apart on several occasions. She did the best to her ability and got my son's charges reduced (rightly so!) and kept him from the threat of prison, sex registration. Although he will still have to endure some pain, they greatly reduced what COULD have happened to him.

Tara is extremely hard working and cares for her clients. She is pragmatic in her preparation and very skilled with juries. She works well with others and keeps her composure in high stress situations. She believes in her profession and wants to help people. If you are lucky enough to have Ms. Isaacson as your attorney, as I was, then you can sleep easy knowing you are in good hands. She is a superb attorney that also happens to be an absolutely fantastic person.

 
Sex Crimes

Hired Attorney

This is the person who defended Warren Jeffs and said that a 14 year old girl that was repeatedly raped “asked for it.” Do yourself a favor — AVOID this woman. She’s deplorable, lacks any redeemable human qualities whatsoever and is an embarrassment to women across the world. It’s disgusting that she is even still working as an attorney. If she has children - especially if she has a daughter, I absolutely fear what what that child has seen as an example of what a human being should be.

This woman is a pedo apologist and a disgusting woman she accused a 14 year old CHILD of trying to solicit sex. Absolutely gross.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
