Hanan Isaacs' Innovative Law and Mediation Firm Celebrates 20 Years
NEWS--- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kingston, NJ (December 13, 2001) - The Law and Mediation Office of Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C., located in Kingston, New Jersey, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary. Founded in 1981 by Hanan Isaacs, one of New Jersey's best-known advocates and practitioners of Alternative Dispute Resolution, the firm has grown over two decades into a distinctive practice.
Isaacs, who has been described as a man with vision, has developed a unique approach to conflict resolution. As a result, the firm takes a holistic approach to client problems, working not only as ADR specialists, negotiators or litigators, but also as consultants to clients in difficult circumstances. According to Isaacs, "We help people develop their options and maximize their outcomes, whether in negotiations or formal dispute resolution processes, including court. Our clients become integral members of the team, together with top flight experts in business, finance, psychology and allied fields."
The firm, which has a statewide reputation for its leading edge mediation, is also known for its excellent work in general litigation, family and divorce law, and labor and employment disputes. Isaacs says, "The firm's forte has always been as advocates for people in negotiations, often in a litigation context." For the past few years, the firm has concentrated on divorce and family law advocacy; labor and employment disputes on behalf of employees in public and private sector jobs; and general litigation (commercial, Chancery, criminal law, municipal court).
The firm's ADR focus has attracted real talent. After clerking in the New Jersey State Superior Court, associate attorney Kimberly Gandy Jinks chose the firm four years ago because of its ADR emphasis. According to Jinks, "My primary focus has been on family, employment and commercial disputes, but I have seen
our clients greatly benefit from the firm's high quality negotiating and emphasis on Alternative Dispute Resolution."
Hanan Isaacs was President of the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators (NJAPM) from 1999-2001. He chaired the Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar Association from 1996-1998. He served on the New Jersey Supreme Court's Complementary Dispute Resolution Committee from 1995 to 1999 and taught at Seton Hall Law School in 1998.
Recognized as ADR Practitioner of the Year 1999-2000 by the Dispute Resolution Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) and General Practitioner of the Year 1994 by the NJSBA, Isaacs is a frequent journal author, television contributor and public speaker.
