Social Security

Rhett is very professional. He returned my phone calls promptly. He was very knowledgeable about the process and spent significant time reviewing my medical records. I would gladly recommend him to a friend, colleague or relative.

Horrible

Rhett was used for a social security disabity case. He said that I had a good case with medical files to support my case. When it came to the actual hearing, he literally said one word at the very end of the hearing and did absolutely nothing to actually “represent” me. After receiving a denial, it t...ook him 4 weeks to talk to me about the judges decision. I had called him, his office, and his assistant during those 4 weeks. The two time I did speak to him I was told he needed more time to review my case. He would tell me to call him in two days if he did not call me back. I would call him after those two days and it would take him 2 weeks to acknowledge that I called him like he told me to. I had questions about my contract with him and fees and asked him to resend me a copy of my contract and he said he would. Three weeks later, he still has not. A horrible over all experience. I feel I would have had a better outcome with a better lawyer. Please consider another lawyer for a social security disability case.

Avvo Rating

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.
