An excellent choice!

My son got picked up for a misdemeanor charge while passing through Iowa on his way to a job site. Even prior to hiring him, Brian spent quite a bit of time explaining the possible outcomes to us. Once hired , Brian took care of everything and even represented my son in court so that he did not ha...ve to drive 20 hours back to Iowa to make any court appearances. Everything turned out just as Brian predicted with the charges dropped against my son after he served a period of probation supervision. I was very satisfied with Brian's no-nonsense approach. He was very professional and his price was reasonable.

Fair, effective attorney

Brian Rhoten is a wonderful attorney who got me out of a horrible situation. His prices are completely reasonable and I truly do not have a single complaint about his services.

Hardworking and honest

I went to Brian with a difficult malpractice case concerning my daughter. He could not have been more helpful and attentive. Brian is a smart man and does a great job of researching and thinking outside of the box. He did a lot of quality work for us,, he is professional and overall just a really ...nice lawyer. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a good, honest lawyer.
