Unhappily ever after

I first met William roughly 6 years ago - when your 6 year old child speaks of moving to another country with his mother (my ex-wife) one must move quickly. Bill dropped everything for me and moved swiftly to prevent the move from taking place (notifying Colombian officials, the State Department, eve...n bringing in the FBI when we were denied an emergency hearing). That issue has since been resolved, but this has been an ongoing battle for me, and Bill has been there every step of the way. There is no win-win in family court (especially in Greenville), but Bill has done the absolute best for me and my son - he has been a confidant, a counselor, a guide through these rough times (anyone who has been through a nasty divorce can relate) and most of all, a good friend. I'll never step foot in a courtroom without Bill by my side.

Hyatt Legal Fee Dispute

Found Bill excellent in support of his father, Richard Rhodes, regarding representing myself and two relatives in a lawyer fee dispute over fees. His support of our legal dispute was timely and beneficial to our case. Research conducted associated with our case was thorough. Presentations he made ...at court in our behalf were excellent alone and in combination with the work done by Richard Rhodes. I think Bill will be even a better lawyer with more experience.

Mr. William Rhodes

Mr. Rhodes took my case where we were doing a rent to own home and problems came up. The actual owner had someone else over everything and the paperwork I had was with that person. That person passed and then the original owner decided that there wasn't any contact to sell the home as rent to own. Th...e owner was making my life miserable. Mr. Rhodes advice on what I could do was excellent, honest and turned out to be the best. Every time I had question I got a quick response. We won the case and I now own my home. This was not an ordinary case and not many attorney's would have took the case. I am very pleased with Mr. Rhodes.

All of us have been exceptionally pleased with the results, and the manner in which our matters were handled. I highly recommend this attorney, and this law firm. They are more than capabl...e of handling all different types of legal matters.

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.
