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.

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.

Poor Represenation Horrible Attorney

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.

Family law review

Mr. Isles office was very receptive and empathetic to my situation during my initial call for advice. After meeting with Mr. Isles for the first time I was confident that I had made the right decision. Most offices have multiple attorneys that represent the firm but Mr. isles agreed to represent me h...imself without hesitation. Mr. Isles was both punctual and professional in addition to being considerate and responsive with all of my requests. I would highly recommend Mr. Isles to any potential client in need of a family law attorney.

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.
