Nonperforming Unethical

We hired Rhonda and paid $3,700 upfront as required. She never answered or returned our calls. Never attended scheduled appointments. Closed both Fort Smith and Rogers offices. We sued her and prevailed in court. She appealed and we prevailed again. She appealed to the State Supreme Court and we prev...ailed. She couldn't even prepare for her own trial. She hadn't filed taxes for the last 3 years. She didn't pay franchise taxes and had her corporate charter revoked. Does this sound like the attorney you want to be there when your loved one is out of the country at an embassy needing immediate assistance? We hired another attorney and were successful at last.

A answer to my prayers in keeping my American dreams alive

I hired Rhonda McCauley for the first time seven years ago to handle a very delicate situation involving many different agencies and many different problems. She visited with me immediately even traveling over four hours to visit me in a detention center. I was released that same day due to her effor...ts after spending several weeks away from my family. Since that time she has helped me and my extended family on every legal issue that has arisen without a single failure. She and her staff have made me feel as if I were their only client and that my problems were their top priority. She has also helped most of my fellow church members and seeks the Lord's guidance in her work. I highly recommend her to anyone who is needing help with immigration problems. She has always been prompt in returning my calls and answering my questions and her staff is very friendly and seem to be highly skilled.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Reprimand issued in AR, 2019

updated on 09/04/2020

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Caution issued in AR, 2012

updated on 08/07/2015

A caution means that an attorney did something wrong, but may still practice law. The attorney was cautioned in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Rhonda’s comment:

“The discipline carried a fine of $50 which indicates that this was not considered to be a terribly serious offense. I was unable to prove that I had provided a copy of the Board of Immigration Appeals decision to my client, though it was my contention that they were provided a copy in person. They were not eligible to remain in the U.S. at the time I was hired, but I was able to mitigate their situation over about five years of essentially pro bono representation.”
