Outstanding Law Office

I was going through a separation/divorce and contacted the office of Richard K. Isles. They were nothing but amazing. Very supportive in all matters and going through the court process as we know is very nerve racking but I was taken care throughout all. I dealt with an outstanding paralegal named... Leigh and I cannot thank her enough for all her hard work, her kind words and most of all her support throughout this process.

Great team

I have previously hired hired 2 prior attorneys to represent me in the past. I was divorced a number of years from an ex. She has free legal representation and has so for over 10 years due to a personal relationship to her attorney. Needless to say that this has been a very expensive drawn out pro...cess on my part. Now a number of years after the divorce, there has been a severe decrease in my salary. I attended a meeting with Mr Isles Law Office and met with one of his associate attorney's Cora Dorado. I immediately felt that Attorney Dorado was the first attorney to hear and address my needs. I am currently in the midst of an alimony trial to finally decrease and hopefully cease endless alimony payment to my ex, whose current income is more than mine. Through the years, I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees, this is the only time I felt that my side of the case was represented by a competent attorney. Attorney Dorado has researched case law, and presented my concerns in court. She has fought for me and I feel that I am finally making progress with this endless situation. At this time, I can say that she is most competent and plan to continue this review when my case has been resolved. But I am finally hopeful for the first time. Thank you Attorney Dorado.

An Expert

I was searching for a family law attorney and came upon the many reviews here. My situation was very similar relating to child custody that another person posted. It was apparent to me that this was the right lawyer for my case. Having already spent the cost of a new car in attorneys fees with a prio...r law firm in Corona, I knew that this would be my last attempt to get aggressive legal counsel. I made the right choice hiring Richard Isles. Richard and one of his associate attorneys both worked on the case and got me the orders that I should have obtained over a year ago. I only regret not hiring them from the beginning.

Hired twice and will continue

I first came to the office for a CPS case I had with my daughter. They were the only law office I was able to research that listed CPS experience. We had a few consultations elsewhere but when I sat down with Denise I knew she was the one. She gave me direction right away to start preparing for court.... She made sure I got more visits, and let the judge know that CPS was only providing me the minimum amount of visits. Denise also gave me great advise on attending addition classes. Thanks to Richard Isles law office I got my daughter back within 3 months. Durning the CPS case I also had a custody hearing for my son. The lawyer I hired before I found Richard Isles office was horrible and I lost my legal rights. I hired Richard Isles again to get my supervised visits removed and get joint legal and physical custody. The wording explaining my situation was beautiful written. My ex said in mediation last time that a request for supervised visits would be asked for as Long as possible. Denise made sure I got mediation separate and prepped me very well. I got supervised visits dropped, joint legal/physical and more time during summer. I will never go anywhere else. They fought with me every step of the way. Riverside and Hemet Court

By far very impressed. !

I came to Mr. isles in desperate need of an attorney as my daughters father had sole legal custody, i was being harassed by cps drug test after drug test, monitored visits, no legal rights to my daughter and I had to reach for help not to mention i was nothing close to what father had been accusing m...e of he was making up lies to the the court, my daughter was in need of her mom. I was on supervised visits and constant cps visits with no legal custody i felt as if the system was making me out to look like something i was not and there was no end to this. I hired mr. Isles and i have to say i walked out of that court room with joint-legal and my supervised visits were no more. I was a happy mom one step closer, he was an excellent listener, agressive and very impressive, mr isles knows his stuff and knows exactly what to say i was proud to have him by my side im so thankful for mr. Isles he helped me get custody back. Although my case is still continuing im one step closer and i trust mr. Isles will get me what i want and deserve. Best attorney ive ever hired hands down ! If your looking for the best Richard K. Isles is the one." I feel a relief, like something has lifted off my shoulders" those were my exact words to mr. Isles leaving the court room. One step closer... Thank you mr. Isles.
