Joseph Thomas Rhodes

I retained Joseph Rhodes, who was acting as Of Counsel for Industria Business Lawyers LLP, for a time-sensitive business dispute. Unfortunately, the representation did not meet reasonable professional expectations. During the engagement, there were persistent issues with responsiveness, uncertaint...y about whether key actions were actually completed, and an inability to provide clear confirmation for filings and communications that were billed as performed. Given the urgency of the matter, verification and follow-through were critical and were not reliably provided. It also became apparent that the matter fell outside his core practice experience. This was a high-stakes, fast-moving dispute that required disciplined procedural execution and careful tracking, yet basic verification and administrative support appeared lacking. These issues were especially concerning given the high fees charged. Despite those fees, we were required to spend significant time reconstructing the record ourselves, and the engagement was ultimately terminated. A fee dispute is now pending, and we are seeking a full refund based on the deficiencies in the representation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this attorney for any matter.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Rhodes, a remarkable lawyer who truly went above and beyond to assist me with my case. From our initial consultation to the successful resolution, he demonstrated unparalleled expertise, professionalism, and dedication. His in-depth knowledge of the law and kee...n attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, providing me with a sense of confidence and reassurance. Not only did he exhibit exceptional legal skills, but he also showed genuine care and compassion for my situation, making me feel heard and supported every step of the way. He was always available to address my concerns, answer my questions, and provide timely updates, which greatly eased my anxieties during what could have been a stressful time. His strategic thinking and proactive approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for my case. His strong advocacy, coupled with his ability to navigate complex legal matters with ease, set him apart as a top-tier professional in his field. I am incredibly grateful for his unwavering commitment to my case and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate lawyer. Five stars hardly seem sufficient to capture the exceptional quality of service he provides.

Do not waste your time, money, or energy with this man. I paid in full up front for a custody case and he literally didn’t do anything. He spoke to me exactly twice , assuring me he had it handled. He didn’t even file paperwork in the right county. Wouldn’t return phone calls. He made an already leng...thy and sensitive custody battle stretch out another 7 months because he chose to do NOTHING. I wish he would have just told me he wasn’t going to handle my case, instead of let me sit and wait and wonder wtf is going on. It took me months to save up enough money to hire a REAL lawyer, since I received no refund from him. I really could have used the money I paid to hire someone else and move this forward. My kids have changed so much in this time. He shouldn’t be allowed to practice.
