My family is proud to have Carol Rhodes by our side!!

Carol represented our family a year ago, And a year later we were faced with a custody battle that would impact the future of our children. Carol once agin was by our side and not only defended and protected the future of our children, but got us more than we asked for in court. Carol and her paraleg...al Sarah are amazing. Every question i have had was answred quickly. Carol will not make a false promise, she will tell you the truth about what can happen but in return Carol will fight for you. Carol is worth the money and time. T.S. family

Straight out of the papers.

I was referred to Carol from a family friend. I needed an attorney to help with a child support issue. Well, thats what it started out as. As time progressed, things went south fast and what started out as a child support issue turned into a custody issue. With events happening to my son that you rea...d about in the paper, but never think will happen to your family. Carol and her firm helped every step of the way. From frantic phone calls, to random emails. Each question answered as soon as she had one, and if she didn't she would let you know. She is a very honest, straight forward person that me and my family were fortunate enough to meet. Highly recommended.

Well Worth The Money.

We were faced with a very tuff custody/divrose, Carol took care of everything for us. And yes we won everything we requested! She is very cost effiecent truthworthy and reliable. She has been a lawer since 1978 and will take care of you. When It came down to finding an attorney we were very selective... as anyone should be, Carol was recomended by my employer who also uses the Burt Blee Sutton and Bloom firm for his legal matters and its the best choice we ever made.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
