Poor Represenation Horrible Attorney

Horrible Attorney, does not return emails or phone calls. Missed 2 of 3 hearings I hired him for. Quit before my 3rd hearing, but not until I met with him to discuss hearing and paid additional 3500 cash. Then to find out he had no plan on attending my hearing and then rescheduled the next hearing f...or 3 months out...this guy is a Complete waste of time and money. he could not even get a Financial statement correct or accurately represent my Family. Negotiated without me even reviewing documents and a POOR communication. Quoted $5,000 and ran up 10,000 in a short time, billing statements would have 1 line item of " 8 hours reviewing case only charged for 5" total B.S. if he spent more than 2 hours reading my file, I don't believe it as he did not know me or my situation at all. My custody went from 50/50 to 75/25 due to not being prepared when he did show up in court and my paychecks are now $27.00 every 2 weeks! Thank you for screwing up my life! I now have to redo everything Isles office has touched. DO NOT USE RICHARD ISLES.

Money PAID= NO resolution

AWFUL representation, if it can even be called that. The only constant communication I get are my bills each month which are over exaggerated and in most cases false? The attorney gave me false info at the start of the divorce and has yet to produce any true outcomes. The office staff lost paperwork ...4 times/asked me to resend/ I did and then was BILLED for their mistake and forced to pay before attorney would move forward with the case. Even basic 1 line emails are charged the standard rate of 30.00 just to look at the email? There is no give only take and this attorney is clearly only in it for the money. I agree I would never recommend. as a matter of fact the experience has been so horrible I am currently shopping for a different attorney to replace him ASAP! as the case has been going on for 2 yrs and should have been well resolved by now.

Results and Resolution

The Attorneys’ and Support staff in the Riverside, CA office worked well with all clients. Even if the attorney is at court the support staff is able to assist and answer questions and/or concerns so no phone call is a waste of time. My divorce case was represented and resolved with exceptional resul...ts, my attorney represented me on every level and was able to secure all requested items from listed on the judgment. The opposing counsel made everyone wait 2.5 hours and my attorney stayed with me the entire time, discussed strategy, possible changes and end results by the time everyone was ready to go into MSC I was able to let me attorney handle the case and discussions with confidence. I appreciate the time and effort of this law firm!

Grateful and Appreciative

After 15 years of marriage the last thing I ever thought I would be doing was looking for a divorce attorney. After visiting 6 attorneys and being told that everything that my husband was doing was horribly wrong but that they would not represent me because he is in the military, because I didn't ma...ke enough or because they just didn't want to deal with my case... I finally found Richard Isles. When I met with him he was compassionate and respectful and informed me of what my options were and how he could help me. It took me 2 years to finally decide to file for the divorce but when I was ready I went back to Mr. Isles and he not only remembered me but he also remembered my story. He and his staff have shown such professionalism in requesting information and preparing my case for filing. We have completed the Request for Orders, which not only went very smoothly but also in my favor and are now preparing for the final judgment in my case, which of course I have had questions about. The quick response to calls or emails and follow through surely have helped in setting my mind at ease. I am truly grateful for having found Richard Isles and that he accepted my case. I could not be more pleased with the expertise, confidence and compassion of Mr. Isles and his staff.

Great Lawyer

"My wife and I have not been right for a couple of years. I finally told her that I have rights as a parent, she got very upset and we argued. She called the police and a week later I found myself removed from my children and home/office. I was facing a domestic violence restraining order. My wife o...f over 20 years was falsely accusing me of threatening her and threatening to take the kids out of the country. I hired Richard Isles’s office. Richard and his staff were great at keeping me informed and calm. I met with Richard several times before trial and he was very knowledgeable. He diligently went over with me how it would most likely be at trial. The trial day came and Richard was amazing. The trial went just like he said. He was brilliant! I am now back in my home/office and taking my kids to school day to day. I am so pleased with Richard and his staff that I have hired them to represent me in my upcoming divorce. Thank You Richard!
