Child custody

I had a really bad case against me. I was fighting for joint custody of my daughter as her father was fighting for full.. Mr. Isels helped me get custody of my daughter back. It was a bit difficult but mr isles went in a killer in in the court room he is very agressive and made me feel at peace knowi...ng he was on my side.. The only down fall is that he is very busy and it was pretty hard getting a hold of him but besides that I would deff re hire him. No questions asked! Thank you mr isele. I really do appreciate everything you have done for me and my daughter.

Child Custody Client

When you need aggressive representation, Mr. Isles is the attorney to retain. He is extremely professional and responsive to your needs. He deals with your issues in a timely manner. His staff is very professional and he has extremely high standards in his practice. He is well known and liked by ...his peers and the courts. If you need an attorney that will fight completely for you and your child, then retain Mr. Isles. He handled my case personally and was brilliant. I would highly recommend him Mr. Isles.

Incredible Family Law Attorney

This is the third time I have used Mr. Isles to represent me in my child custody and family law matters. Mr. Isles has done an excellent job every single time. Mr. Isles did an excellent job of belittling opposing counsel; a high priced Orange County family law attorney and successfully got what is... really needed in the best interest of my son and my family. Mr. Isles is not shy in court and you will have your side heard. I have been through multiple family law attorneys and all they seem to care about is billable hours. Not Mr. Isles. He is friendly, understanding and takes a genuine interest in your case and is well worth every penny you spend to protect your interests.

Aggressive

I have been using Mr. Isles law firm on a very difficult matter for the past year and half because I am constantly getting served by the other party . From the moment I walked in and met wt Michelle Stevens I knew I was in good hands . She let me know exactly what would happen and made me feel better... abt the situation. She always returned my calls when I had questions . I get sometimes people want compassion in their situations but you need somebody aggressive in that court room and clearly that is what I got. My last hearing was a week ago and mediation went terrible and their was false accusations on me that was so clear that the mediatior was prejudice against me and could have caused a lot of damage . I was so shooken up that i actually got other attorneys advice from other firms and it was clear they wanted to drag it on for money . I called Michelle Stevens and right away felt better . Unfortunately the day of my hearing she had another case in a different court ( I went to her on a fri and my hearing was Monday ) so she called Mr. Isles in her office and he said he would be wt me in court that day to continue my hearing due toe retaining them last min . The day of my hearing he took the time out and heard me out and he actually proceeded wt it and the case was dismissed . His demeanor gave me comfort and I felt like I was in good hands . I will always turn to this firm for help. They are amazing in the court room.

AJ-H

I have not had to use an attorney until recently. My situation was sudden and escalated quickly. I found myself up against an alleged domestic abuse accusation, divorce, custody and spousal support request by my unemployed husband! As a working professional there were allegations being made that st...ood to be possible grounds for dismissal at work since I undergo an extensive background check for my employment. The sabotage of our home and character deformation that was being constantly tacked to me was becoming unbearable and I found myself needing legal representation as my spouse evidently didn’t want to be amicably. Full time wife, mother, employee AND student, I found myself in this heinous predicament and felt every negative emotion I think was humanly possible! I was at a lost to say the least. I was referred to other attorneys through a program at my place of employment, I had a consultation and I sat in an attorney’s office and began to wonder if he was even listening to me as he shuffled various papers that was not mine and indicated that he would “view” my papers only if I retained him!! Horrified by this, I began a search for someone who would need to understand my plight! I came across Attorney Richard K. Isles and read about him and his firm on their website, I immediately called his office to schedule an appointment and was graciously accommodated. I met with Attorney Isles himself and during the consultation I was able to convey all my concerns. Attorney Isles listened attentively commented and questioned when he needed clarification and then professionally articulated to me where I stood and what my rights were and what my concerns meant and how it related legally. I was given explanations in regards to every avenue of concerns I had and I truly felt that I was heard. He read through the legal documents that I was served and offered clarity on same. I was convinced that this was the firm I wanted to represent me and my family. I conveyed this to Attorney Isles and requested that he himself represent me, which he did. Attorney Isles then enlightened me about his firm’s policy. I retained Richard K. Isles Law Firm and I was met and brought abreast of what to expect, what I needed to do and did not need to do. This firm has handled the mountain of paper work I was buried under and has managed to give me a sense of peace during this time of conflict and turmoil. I was able to be a mother to my son, continue to work full time, attend school and went about my days taking care of myself and my son’s mental stability, whilst Attorney Isles and his staff did all the work that initially took me a lot of time to do. I am convinced that he believes in Family Law and the justice that goes along with matters like mine. So far we have checked a couple items off the laundry list and I continue to trust in the Law office of Richard K. Isles to represent me through the duration of my case. In court he truly was my advocate and protected my well-being from the lobby to the court room. He ensured that we were heard an understood. His questions were timed and seamlessly effortless, perhaps his strategy to get the answers that were the truth. I believe that he has a genuine concern for his clients. I am confident that Attorney Richard Isles will work for me and my family to ensure a just outcome.
