In February 2019, we had the unfortunate situation of losing our home due to foreclosure. My family had to move into a rental home. I was also going thru a long divorce which wasn't easy. We tried Mediation but got nowhere. I hired Mr. Roderick Bridges to help get me prepared for what felt like a huge hurdle. My former attorney missed requests for information from my spouse's attorney so I loss temporary joint custody. Mr. Bridges stepped in and got things back on track for my court hearing. I ended up getting the visitation and we split our assets more fairly than what had been proposed before. I want to Thank Mr. Bridges for bringing piece back in my life. He was very easy to work with and dealt with the other attorney and Judge great!!!
I tried to handle a family dispute alone and wasn't having much success getting the courts to give me another hearing. I hired Roderick Bridges and am so glad I did. Mr. Bridges explained some additional options to me. He reviewed the information I already had and from there was ready to file an appeal for another court date. I was getting nowhere. Roderick Bridges understands the law and how the court system works, and gave us reassurance he would do his best for our issue. My case was resolved in February 2020! I will never go to court alone again!!. My husband and I are happy with the representation Mr. Bridges provided, and his fees were reasonable for all he had to do. We highly recommend Roderick Bridges for your family needs!
My litigation qualifications are enhanced by over 18 years of legal and judicial experience.  As an accomplished legal professional, I possess extensive knowledge in the area of personal injury/accident, criminal, DUI and general law.  I am a strong advocate who is extremely passionate about each case and the protection of individual rights.  From handling complex civil and criminal cases to minor contract disputes, I can provide the optimum solutions for your situation.

Made time for my case
I called mr Bridges on a Saturday and he returned my call immediately. After explaining the charges against me, he helped me understand what my options were. Should have called him 1st. Definitely suggest Roderick Bridges for your attorney needs.

Great Referral for an Attorney
I consulted with Roderick Bridges on my pending criminal case after being referred by a friend. I was surprised to be able to speak with him directly, and after I did, he took my case. He was helpful, honest and genuine. You can tell he knows how to navigate the court system to try to get resolution especially on long court cases like mine. I recommend him to anyone that needs legal help.

Good Lawyer, and Decent Person
Roderick is an experienced divorce/family law attorney and is smart and very knowledgeable concerning the law. Roderick gave me very direct advice and a realistic view of my case. He made practical attempts to negotiate the best resolution in what was an unfortunate event for my family (divorce). He was an advocate in court and I was glad to have him on my side. He is an excellent lawyer and was always truthful. I've relocated my family from GA but to people who ask me to recommend a lawyer in the family law field, I will recommend Roderick Bridges each time.

Family case- Great Lawyer
I enlisted the Bridges Law Firm to help me with my father in law's accident case. He was driving on the highway and was hit by a 18-wheeler truck as they both changed lanes. Mr. Bridges helped us manage the whole process in getting the police report, deal with the insurance companies, and helped get the fines reduced. The rate was reasonable and with his experience was able to help us navigate the court system process. Very patient and professional experience. Great lawyer!

Spent the time I needed and cared!
Mr. Bridges truly "humbled" himself to help me in the greatest time of my need. He took over my case against a group of Medical attorneys that were reckless and almost destroyed my life. He didn't ask for a BIG lump sum of money upfront, and went to work immediately to file the motions and gather all my paperwork to prepare for a court trial. Mr. Bridges got the lines of communication opened back up and was able to get my problem addressed in mediation. He gives each of his clients his complete focus and attention, understands how to step back and listen so he can provide his expertise. "I'm so glad I trusted him for help." - thank you, Mrs. Reynolds and family

Horrible attorney I'm not sure why he is still license.
Ultimately he is a liar he shouldn't be practicing law. Beware he is money hungry and only looks to get over. He will be late to court or he might not show up and will lie and tell you he has other cases to handle. Hire him at your own risk.

if there was a "0" star rating ...
Where can I begin, Bless his heart...I see home a s a dark force...he should be hired to work on POWER BOOK III.
1st. Never visited my son for 2 years.
2nd never called my son for 2 years.
3rd never researched the case for 2 years.
4th once I informed him of case details...this ----/Richard used MY WORDS AGAINST MY SON IN COURT.
5th he begged the judge to keep my son imprisoned longer.
6th he practically high fives the DA in court proceedings.
7th he LIES to the judge about his client.
8th did I say he lies...yep he does.
9th he gaslights.
He lives up to the "lying lawyers" reputation. He gives attorneys and judges a bad name. Do your loved one a flavor...and if he is appointed as your lawyer...RUN AND MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE TO GET A DIFFERENT LAWYER !!! you will thank me later.
