Compassion

I'm in the middle of a painful divorce. I wish this on no one but if a good law firm is ever needed I can without hesitation recommend Richard Isles law office. Not only is Denise my attorney understanding but the entire staff including Leigh who is always quick to keep me posted and is available to... answer my questions.

Domestic Violence Restraining Order

Retained the law offices of Richard K. Isles to represent me as the plaintiff in a R.O. my ex wife attempted to use for the sole purpose of denying me visitation with our daughter. This was the second time she attempted this tactic. I called most of the family law offices in the area, got their pri...ces and consulted with them. Legal representation never comes cheap but Isles law offices offered me a fair price and I even had other firms offer to lower their retainer but I went with Isles. He offered a fair price from the start, was very knowledgeable and professional even in dealing with me and my nerves (as it was very important I win). Richard Isles crushed the R.O. in 20 minutes but most importantly what he enabled was a little girl to continue a relationship with her father (me) and that I can't put a price on. Top notch attorney with a fair rate that gets the job done

Posted by Kristiane Cano | May 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody help

We were fighting for custody of my step sons for 3 long and painful years of trying to prove the other parent unfit when the other parent decided to be a move away. We finally went to Richard Isles office at that point because instead of joint custody, the children were being withheld in an unsafe en...vironment. Our attorney through them was Denise Motroni. In the span of a couple months (due to her fighting to get us an evaluation) we went from hopeless to getting primary custody. The judge was not listening to anything that was submitted showing neglect at the other home, even though the other parent was a move away and denying us our custody time, he even argued against doing the evaluation. If Denise hadn't insisted, we would have lost all but meager visits and the boys would still be in an unsafe, unstable, neglectful home as their primary. Instead, the evaluation the judge wanted to deny showed that everything we'd been saying was true and he agreed to change physical custody and award the other parent minimal visitation each month. Denise has an awesome paralegal Leigh who is extremely quick to answer and help. I cannot thank them enough, they literally saved our children.

Great team

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.

Hired twice and will continue

I first came to the office for a CPS case I had with my daughter. They were the only law office I was able to research that listed CPS experience. We had a few consultations elsewhere but when I sat down with Denise I knew she was the one. She gave me direction right away to start preparing for court.... She made sure I got more visits, and let the judge know that CPS was only providing me the minimum amount of visits. Denise also gave me great advise on attending addition classes. Thanks to Richard Isles law office I got my daughter back within 3 months. Durning the CPS case I also had a custody hearing for my son. The lawyer I hired before I found Richard Isles office was horrible and I lost my legal rights. I hired Richard Isles again to get my supervised visits removed and get joint legal and physical custody. The wording explaining my situation was beautiful written. My ex said in mediation last time that a request for supervised visits would be asked for as Long as possible. Denise made sure I got mediation separate and prepped me very well. I got supervised visits dropped, joint legal/physical and more time during summer. I will never go anywhere else. They fought with me every step of the way. Riverside and Hemet Court
