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.

Richard Isles Saved Many Injustices for my Family

My three cases are near the end. So far, Richard won all for my family. My cases were complicated and each case complicated the other. Its been near 4 years. Here is the outcome. I have 80% custody of my children. I do not pay spousal support. False allegations of ex wife are dismissed by the court. ...I was blessed to have found Richard. It was expensive and worth every penny. My children benefit and will benefit for their lives to come. My daughter is still very young (pre-k) and my son is blooming in school and his extra activities no doubt because of the stability I can provide thanks to Richard's defense.

Family law review

Mr. Isles office was very receptive and empathetic to my situation during my initial call for advice. After meeting with Mr. Isles for the first time I was confident that I had made the right decision. Most offices have multiple attorneys that represent the firm but Mr. isles agreed to represent me h...imself without hesitation. Mr. Isles was both punctual and professional in addition to being considerate and responsive with all of my requests. I would highly recommend Mr. Isles to any potential client in need of a family law attorney.

MAGIC

Mr. Isles is a power player and heavy hitter in Riverside. He has the ability to shut down opposing counsels and make them appear to not understand the law in California. He is honest and frank about your options and ensures you understand the processes involved in the courtroom and beyond. Most of m...y close friends, family, and I thought my children were going to be able to leave the state because I am in the military. My spouse was attempting to leave the state permanently which would not allow me to have a meaningful relationship with them. Mr. Isles performed "magic" in the courtroom and was able to keep my children within the state so I can continue to having a strong relationship. Thank you Mr. Isles.

MR. MCQ

I WAS REFERRED TO MR.ISLES BY A FRIEND AND MY FRIEND WAS RIGHT ABOUT MR. ISLES, FIRST OFF I CALL HIM MR. ISLES BECAUSE HE DESERVES THE RESPECT AND HE GET'S IT NOT ONLY FROM MY SELF BUT EVERYBODY IN THE COURT ROOM INCLUDING THE JUDGE, I WAS FACING NOT ONLY THE PROBLEMS OF A DIVORCE BUT THE CHANCE OF A... PERMANENT RESTRAINING ORDER, I WAS STRESSED OUT TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF MR. ISLES WE MADE IT THREW IT BUY DECEMBER 2 THE RESTRAINING ORDER WILL BE OVER, MEANWHILE HE IS GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD ON MY DIVORCE, MR. ISLES REALLY CARES ABOUT ME IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MAKING MONEY FOR HIMSELF, HE IS A MAN OF HIGH MORALS,HIGH INTEGRITY AND VERY ETHICAL, PLUS ON A PERSONAL NOTE HE HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY DOWN TO EARTH, AND JUST A CRACK UP TO TALK TO, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. ISLES. THANK YOU, MR MCQ.
