Superior service with integrity

Richard has handled many legal issues for me over the past 29 years. He is one of the most trustworthy, sincerely honest people I know. His legal work is excellent and a true reflection of his attention to detail and accuracy. Over the years, he assisted me in a closing for an SBA loan for my bus...iness, a loan closing for my home and a land transfer in Charleston, to name a few. He has also prepared business documents for me, including personnel policies, that have been most beneficial.

Exceptional lawyer!

Mr. Rhodes has performed legal work in several areas for me: setting up property divisions, wills, getting legal paperwork on time to courts and other lawyers and defending my rights in court as needed, while giving great legal advice, all at a fair price and great professionalism. He is very highly ...recommended for all legal matters. This man DOES his homework!

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.

Family lawyer | Apr 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

"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."

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.
