Richard K. Isles

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.

I have previously hired hired 2 prior attorneys to represent me in the past. I was divorced a number of years from an ex. She has free legal representation and has so for over 10 years due to a personal relationship to her attorney. Needless to say that this has been a very expensive drawn out pro...cess on my part. Now a number of years after the divorce, there has been a severe decrease in my salary. I attended a meeting with Mr Isles Law Office and met with one of his associate attorney's Cora Dorado. I immediately felt that Attorney Dorado was the first attorney to hear and address my needs. I am currently in the midst of an alimony trial to finally decrease and hopefully cease endless alimony payment to my ex, whose current income is more than mine. Through the years, I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees, this is the only time I felt that my side of the case was represented by a competent attorney. Attorney Dorado has researched case law, and presented my concerns in court. She has fought for me and I feel that I am finally making progress with this endless situation. At this time, I can say that she is most competent and plan to continue this review when my case has been resolved. But I am finally hopeful for the first time. Thank you Attorney Dorado.

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.

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.

Horrible Attorney, does not return emails or phone calls. Missed 2 of 3 hearings I hired him for. Quit before my 3rd hearing, but not until I met with him to discuss hearing and paid additional 3500 cash. Then to find out he had no plan on attending my hearing and then rescheduled the next hearing f...or 3 months out...this guy is a Complete waste of time and money. he could not even get a Financial statement correct or accurately represent my Family. Negotiated without me even reviewing documents and a POOR communication. Quoted $5,000 and ran up 10,000 in a short time, billing statements would have 1 line item of " 8 hours reviewing case only charged for 5" total B.S. if he spent more than 2 hours reading my file, I don't believe it as he did not know me or my situation at all. My custody went from 50/50 to 75/25 due to not being prepared when he did show up in court and my paychecks are now $27.00 every 2 weeks! Thank you for screwing up my life! I now have to redo everything Isles office has touched. DO NOT USE RICHARD ISLES.
