Rodney Ames

We thoroughly enjoyed our time working with Rodney as our attorney. He was truly a compassionate and valuable strength to our delicate case. Rodney is authentic, trustworthy and incredibly hard-working individual. He was there every step of the way and ensured we understood all the legal rededicatio...ns. Not only did he work during working hours but in many occasions was willing to work with us on best time to meet our busy schedules. Beyond that, Rodney’s inspiring personally makes it comfortable to speak resulting in win-win situations.

Thorough, Knowledgeable & Compassionate

When tragedy struck and I was in need of legal assistance I was referred to Mr. Ames. I couldn't of asked for a more thorough, knowledgeable compassionate professional. Throughout the case, Rodney was supportive in addition to being sensitive of my emotional and physical trauma. Rodney worked rel...entlessly to build a strong case always keeping my best interests in mind while maneuvering through the sensitive nature of my circumstances. He was always prepared and very willing to answer questions from me and my family. His personal attention to detail was impeccable and he was always accessible when needed. Mr. Ames worked tirelessly on my behalf and was able to get a more than fair result helping to ease the pain of a tough situation. I am forever grateful and would highly recommend Mr. Ames.

A True Professional

Both my husband and I have worked with Rodney on several business transactions and have hired him to do legal work for us. He is a man of character, integrity and high standards. Throughout each process he communicated clearly as to what to expect, our options and potential outcomes. He is a true ...professional in his field! We highly recommend Rodney.
