EXCELLENT SERVICE - PROFESSIONAL RESULTS

We hired this Law Firm in August 2016. When we met with their Office Staff, Everyone from the Front Office to the Legal Assistants, and the Attorneys Cora Dorado and Denise Motroni were exceptional and VERY PROFESSIONAL. They prepared themselves for every step of way, and involved their Client in eve...ry decision being made. Our First Attorney at this Office was Ms. Cora Dorado, she was very capable and personable. She made herself available, was friendly, and answered all the questions. In February 2017, we were shifted to a new attorney Ms. Denise Motroni. Ms. Motroni continued to do an exceptional job, one that shows the type of Personnel that this Law Firm Employs. Each of the Office Staff were Exceptional - From Natalie Colon, Peggy Decker and Leigh Collins. There was one rough spot in the time we were working with them and that was in January 2017, when Cora Dorado left and when we asked why we were not told that she left, not why, but that she left and we were not made aware of it, especially since we were sending paperwork in addressing it to Cora. We found out when we were out of state, and had been told by Cora we would not be needed at the February Hearing, only to get a phone call in the early afternoon of the day before and told that we would need to be there. Then called after the hearing to find out that we had a new Attorney. The other part of this was that the Paralegal scheduled a meeting with Ms. Motroni, and did not put it on her calendar. This created a big concern for us. However after that rough spot, we were off an running and could not have been happier with the service we received. Personally we want to thank Mr. Richard Isles for assembling a very capable and exceptional Staff to support the needs of the Office and their Clients. And a very special thanks to Attorney Motroni. Her expertise in the court room was amazing and the results reflected her excellent work. Thank You again to the entire staff for everything. We will ALWAYS Recommend your Firm.

Denise Motroni vs. Goliath

2,500 miles away on the other side of the country and not sure what to do but pray. Pray that God would send us in the right direction and help us defend ourselves. Our prayers were answered when we received a return call from Denise Motroni from the Richard Isles Office. She has been a true blessing... to us. Just as God gave David a pebble to defeat Goliath, He sent us Denise Motroni. Do not let kindness be mistaken for weakness. She is as sweet as pie, but in the courtroom she is relentless and knows her stuff. She does not back down. I was truly impressed with her knowledge and her fight for justice. I'm impressed with the entire staff and professionalism of the Richard Isle Law Office. I would recommend them to anyone who feels they have been treated unfairly and needs to win the battle!!!!

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.

VERY GREATFUL, OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY

Richard Isles is the Best Attorney in all of Riverside county. You will not find better representation. He has a very aggressive approach To your case. You definitely want this attorney on your side. I've had this attorney for 2 years. He is very understanding of my difficult financial situation.... He has ben more then accomidating by allowing me to make payments and not deserting me in the middle of my case. He has gotten me everything I've asked for in court and so much more. His staff is very pleasant to work with and very informative. I would definitely recommend Richard Isles to anyone who needs aggressive representation.

Hiring Attorney Isles is the best decision I've made

Asking Attorney Isles and his team to represent me was the best decision I've made. He is incredible "on his feet" - a power player in the courtroom. He and his helpful staff are true veterans of the Riverside court system - they know the procedures and players better than anyone else. They are in...telligent, strategic, and skillful in their representation and negotiations. It gave me a great sense of peace and confidence to trust them with my legal matter.
