After law school, I clerked for the South Carolina Supreme Court. I was particularly interested in the substantive law of divorce proceedings. I maintain that interest, and I am actively involved in trials, mediations, and appeals. I have also devoted a substantial part of my practice to probate and estate work, to include drafting wills and trusts, handling probate estates, and representing parties in estate litigation.

Review for Richard Rhodes
Mr. Rhodes couldn't have been better for us. He took time to explain everything we asked about, and we always felt like we were a priority. He went out of his way to be sure all bases were covered, and we were 100% satisfied.

Excellent Attorney
Richard has represented me on multiple occasions. Richard is extremely knowledgeable of the law, which is key, but he also has a tremendous amount of rapport in the community. He listened to my concerns and provided me with the competent legal advice and representation needed.

Great Lawyer!
Mr. Rhodes has an awesome combination of wisdom, experience and availability to his clients. He has helped me tremendously in my case in the court of Appeals. I highly recommend his legal services.
"I have personally known Richard for over 20 years. He is a professional but more importantly, he is a gentleman. Richard is always prepared and a zealous advocate for his clients. I have learned much from Richard over the years from simply observing him in and out of the courtroom. I have great respect for him and I suggest most lawyers in our community would feel the same. He has tremendous skills in several practice areas such as probate and appellate practice and I always feel confident when I call him for advice and refer cases to him and his firm."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is an exceedingly qualified, well respected attorney in this area. He does work of the highest caliber and is truly concerned with his client's well-being. He is a worthy adversary while maintaining the highest ethical caliber."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Rhodes has practiced law in the Spartanburg Community for more than 40 years. He maintains a reputation for excellence in the Bar. Most of his practice is in probate law [wills, trusts, and estates] and family law [divorce, custody, and support], although he is active in other areas of law, and he is a certified Family Court mediator."
