Only thing aggressive is their billing.

Words can not begin to describe how HORRIBLE this law firm is. Mr. Isles' law firm indicates that "aggressive" legal representation is provided. Well, the only thing that was "aggressive" was the billing department. I had a custody case where my ex and I had shared joint legal/ joint physical custod...y. After about 2 hours with the mediator, it was the mediator's recommendation to the judge that I be awarded SOLE CUSTODY, even though I agreed to joint legal/physical IF my ex stayed in the area. This should have been a slam dunk for this lawyer. The judge disregarded the mediators recommendation and allowed my ex to take my son over 60 miles away, and I have about 45% custody. They billed per email, yet never responded to even one. Then billed me when I called and asked for follow up on the few emails that I sent. Do yourself a favor.. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY!!!!!

DIVORCE ATTORNEYS .. RICHARD ISLES .. Riverside County .. Look here 1st...

When we went and interviewed with Richard Isles to handle my son's divorce, he was very informative, detailed, and we felt personal to our situation. As sad as a divorce already is, you need an attorney that is personable to your circumstances, understands the emotions and feelings of someone going ...through a divorce, lays out a plan of action with you, and knows how to address & fight for your rights. As stressful as our son's situation was, Richard handled all with dignity, respect and a calmness for all. If you were to have a Major Surgery or Operation, you of course would want to pick the best doctor/surgeon to perform this surgery/operation, one that was very experienced, positively informative, knowledgeable, and of most importance someone you believed in and were comfortable with. This is what we believe you get with Richard Isles as your attorney. He more than validated our choice of him as our attorney a couple of days ago when we had to go to court, with his demeanor, organization, knowledge & statement of facts, and a clear precise presentation of all including needed documentation. We were more than pleasantly surprised and elated. In such sad circumstances as a divorce situation you need someone caring that can be their for you. This we felt with Richard and as much as we are thankful, he will always get strong referral recommendations from our family for others in need to seek out his services. We still have a ways to go, but with Richard's assistance and advice we are sure we will make it through all the best we can. Do yourself a favor before hiring counsel .. talk to Richard Isles .. see what we see and your outcome could be much more pleasant than normal. We just wanted to let others know what a blessing Richard has been for all of us, especially my son, in a very trying period of time for him and all of us. We wish all nothing but the best. THANK YOU.

No Regrets

When searching for a Divorce Lawyer I did my research. Looked at websites, called over a dozen, met with four local lawyers. This was my final choice. My first impression was correct - that he knew the steps to take in my divorce, and he actually listened to my concerns, and my need for a amicable se...ttlement. Did not want to disrupt the children and needed to make the whole ordeal as smooth as possible. This is exactly what I received. No regrets. Job well done!

Highly Recommended!

I hired Mr. Isles to represent me in my divorce case . His firm has been very professional and very responsive to my needs. When the attorney for my x-wife made unreasonable demands and frivolous requests, Mr. Isles and his staff attorneys were there to protect me every step of the way. His phone c...alls and advice were very timely and much appreciated. If you need someone to protect your rights in a family law matter I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Isles and his staff.

Professionalism

Richard; I would just like to take this time to thank you, and your team, for such an outstanding job. You went out of your way to keep my daughter informed of the process, and her rights, reguarding her case. Thank you for being there in our time of need. You are highly recommended and I would re...commend you to anyone needing professional legal family council Sammy
