Only the Best

If only the best is what you want, then you want Richard Isles. He is extremely intelligent, knows the law, knows all the right moves, knows the weaknesses of his opponent and yet has no visible weakness of his own. I am the CEO of a considerably large corporation. Over the past 30 years I have ha...d a multitude of experiences with attorneys on both sides of the fence. I chose Richard to represent my case in a divorce proceeding. That was one of the best legal decisions I ever made. Using Richard was like using an atomic bomb in a knife fight. You couldn't be in better hands. He is passionate about his work, diligent to a fault, well versed beyond words, and articulate to the point of perfection. He will also keep you very informed and aware of your situations. He will let you know what can go wrong and how to prepare and he will attack the opponent like a hungry dog in a meat house. As I originally stated "he is the best". The absolute best. And I have 30 years of business experience to back up that statement of fact. There is also icing for the cake. His staff is also superior to any other support team you will encounter.The Isles law firm is a well-oiled machine.

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.

Very aggressive representation

Richard Isles is very quick on his feet. He was quick to catch my ex on his lies at court. Very aggressive and very knowledgeable about custody cases. He did everything he could to force the judge to impose my ex to follow the guidelines he was given for visitation. Very confident lawyer who knew wha...t he was doing.

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.
