Compassion

I'm in the middle of a painful divorce. I wish this on no one but if a good law firm is ever needed I can without hesitation recommend Richard Isles law office. Not only is Denise my attorney understanding but the entire staff including Leigh who is always quick to keep me posted and is available to... answer my questions.

Denise Motroni vs. Goliath

2,500 miles away on the other side of the country and not sure what to do but pray. Pray that God would send us in the right direction and help us defend ourselves. Our prayers were answered when we received a return call from Denise Motroni from the Richard Isles Office. She has been a true blessing... to us. Just as God gave David a pebble to defeat Goliath, He sent us Denise Motroni. Do not let kindness be mistaken for weakness. She is as sweet as pie, but in the courtroom she is relentless and knows her stuff. She does not back down. I was truly impressed with her knowledge and her fight for justice. I'm impressed with the entire staff and professionalism of the Richard Isle Law Office. I would recommend them to anyone who feels they have been treated unfairly and needs to win the battle!!!!

Great Experience!!

After my initial consultation at the law offices of Richard K.Isles ("with" Mr. Isles), I felt as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The Experience wasn't as intimidating as I had thought. Very casual, yet the professionalism was second to none! From start to finish, the gals at the f...ront desk we're as helpful, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions as one would hope. As far as the legal staff, I got to work specifically with Leigh. She was so very patient, and helpful getting my paperwork in order, even when I was less than prompt. She always got back to me fast, and answered all of my questions. I'm very grateful, because I know I was a pain!! When it was my turn to have my chance at the court, I was blessed to have attorney Matroni with me by my side. Right away I realized that she really knew her craft, and was at the top of her game. She was on point, detail oriented, organized, easy to talk to, and most of all, Very cool! I'm at the point where my issue will be finalized in the next few weeks. Going from a feeling of intimidation (because I know nothing of the law), to a feeling of confidence, after my experience with the team at the law offices of Richard K Isles. Thanks Guys!!

Domestic Violence Restraining Order

Retained the law offices of Richard K. Isles to represent me as the plaintiff in a R.O. my ex wife attempted to use for the sole purpose of denying me visitation with our daughter. This was the second time she attempted this tactic. I called most of the family law offices in the area, got their pri...ces and consulted with them. Legal representation never comes cheap but Isles law offices offered me a fair price and I even had other firms offer to lower their retainer but I went with Isles. He offered a fair price from the start, was very knowledgeable and professional even in dealing with me and my nerves (as it was very important I win). Richard Isles crushed the R.O. in 20 minutes but most importantly what he enabled was a little girl to continue a relationship with her father (me) and that I can't put a price on. Top notch attorney with a fair rate that gets the job done

Posted by Kristiane Cano | May 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody help

We were fighting for custody of my step sons for 3 long and painful years of trying to prove the other parent unfit when the other parent decided to be a move away. We finally went to Richard Isles office at that point because instead of joint custody, the children were being withheld in an unsafe en...vironment. Our attorney through them was Denise Motroni. In the span of a couple months (due to her fighting to get us an evaluation) we went from hopeless to getting primary custody. The judge was not listening to anything that was submitted showing neglect at the other home, even though the other parent was a move away and denying us our custody time, he even argued against doing the evaluation. If Denise hadn't insisted, we would have lost all but meager visits and the boys would still be in an unsafe, unstable, neglectful home as their primary. Instead, the evaluation the judge wanted to deny showed that everything we'd been saying was true and he agreed to change physical custody and award the other parent minimal visitation each month. Denise has an awesome paralegal Leigh who is extremely quick to answer and help. I cannot thank them enough, they literally saved our children.
