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!!!!

Keeps Home and 90% Custody of Children

My case is now completed. My case was quite complicated and difficult. There were several trials. Through the lies and manipulation attempts and insanity, Richard K. Isles kept a very accurate perspective in all matters around the case. Richard saved my family, my home, my private and professional r...eputation. Without Richard, I was at risk of losing my children, my home, and more. He was able to detect, arrest, and place a stop to opposing constant lies and manipulation attempts. He believed in me. Where I started, I needed that first. I needed to fight back and Richard lights up when he stands up for you. There is no better place to see Richard in action then in a court room. He is at his best when most would fold under that kind of pressure. He has worked in Riverside for the majority of his career which means he knows the system here second to none. Richard's staff are excellent and they are very vigilant. I witnessed Richard in the court room many times and his court room talents. He simply does not like to lose. I witnessed even during sidebar meetings with the Judge. He is relentless. His very nature of "the will to win" is not inherent in all attorneys. If I was a lawyer, I would not enjoy going up against Richard. I feel bad for the opposing attorney's client. I would not want to be in their shoes. He knows the law, the legal system, how to ask questions and he knows how to expose the lies. I am very grateful that God connected me to Richard. It was really some kind of fate that I found him. I had another attorney prior to Richard who was nice but not even close to Richard's level. My life turned around for the better when Richard became my attorney. Without Richard K. Isles, I would have come out of this ordeal without major pain and losses. The mere fact of having my children 90% of the time is some kind of gift to me. Richard K. Isles was able to prove to the judge the wrong doing where most people surely would have failed. I have a life time gratitude towards Richard K. Isles. I wish upon nobody to go through what I did and if they had to, they need a defender like Richard K. Isles. I have a nice future ahead of me now to enjoy with my children. I have since remarried (crazy as some may say - I still believe in marriage). My wife has had a child now and we have three children all together. Without Richard K. Isles, this positive future outlook would have taken a much different turn. Thank you Richard K. Isles. From the bottom of my heart. I have a good future to look forward to because of you.

Dominant and Impressive attorney

Mr. Isles is an aggressive and passionate attorney. He has shown exemplary effort in handling my military divorce. His expierience in dealing with opposing counsels in an out of the courtroom is superb. He has impressed at every turn while dealing with my incredibly difficult divorce and there is no ...doubt I would hire him to represent me and my interests in the future.

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.

review

I interviewedand retained Richard Isles, but he did not represent me. I was passed off to an incompitent associate. Horrible experience! In court she sat like a deer in the headlights as the judge handed down his orders. She did not fight for me even when the other party was not prepared and had...n't filed any response papers.
