Meet Izabella and the Team.
A dedicated team of legal professionals committed to fighting for everyday Californians. When you hire ISTEPLAW, you get the whole team in your corner.
Founded on experience. Built for you.
Over fifteen years ago, Izabella stepped into the legal world, beginning as an in-house clerk before rising to staff attorney at a software firm. There, she honed her craft offering counsel on intricate corporate affairs. Her days were filled with SEC compliance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, commercial contracts, finance, litigation, and intellectual property.
After more than seven years immersed in that realm, she chose a different path. Izabella left the corporate sphere to champion civil disputes and consumer rights at the Law Office of Melvin Neal. During that time, she also co-founded a real estate brokerage, stepping into roles as managing broker and chief legal officer for Metropolitan Real Estate Group.
Today, that vision has blossomed into our boutique law firm: a trusted haven of affordable legal guidance for small businesses and individuals. We embrace a broad spectrum of cases, from family law and probate matters to contract formations, civil claims, and personal injury. Having stood beside clients from every corner of life, Izabella's heart remains with the underdogs.
The people in your corner.
With over 15 years of winning tough cases, Izabella fiercely champions your cause at our firm. She blends unmatched grit with caring guidance, turning complex cases into clear victories. Your recovery starts with her steady hand.
