False Accusations and Temporary Restraining Order Charges

Alex is a Gem. Without his help I would have been lost. He made the process so easy and reassured me every step of the way. He directed and over saw the documentation and my presentation in court. I was falsely accused of harassment and stalking. The individual making the claims was a close friend an...d when disappointed and angered got nasty and vindictive. The individual was out to destroy my credibility in every way. I was so shocked that I was paralyzed in my actions. Alex came in and helped me to direct my thoughts and my actions into a positive forward thrust. He was very clear about how to move progressively with the issue. He was solid in his actions in court. I had never been in this situation before and I was frightened. He made me feel that I was safe and in good hands. He directed my professional presentation while in the court room and he knew immediately when the decision of the judge had moved in my favor. When we won with the order denied and all charges dropped against me, he continued to advise me on how to complete the rest of the journey outside of the court room. I also interacted with Robert Rhodes, Alexander's partner in the firm. He directed my case to his partner Alexander. Both men were understanding, professional and supportive. If anyone finds one's self in a situation like this, I recommend The Rhodes Group and I give my personal and grateful thank you to Alexander Savojni. I only gave Alexander five stars because I couldn't give him ten.

Amazing Firm, Amazing People

Alex and his team are simply the best. I was in a unique situation that left me with less than a week to hire an attorney. While researching Seattle law firms I came across Rhodes Legal Group and their great reviews. I called, left a message and within minutes I received a call back. I explained my c...ase and without hesitation they agreed to help. There was a lot of work to be done in a short amount of time and Alex exceeded all of my expectations. He was there to answer every question I had, was always quick to respond and made sure I understood the entire process. I was a victim in a sensitive case and not only was Alex extremely professional, he was also compassionate and sincere in caring for my well-being. He made me feel confident we would win this case and in the end, I received the outcome I was hoping for. I would absolutely recommend Alex and Rhodes Legal Group to any family member or friend seeking legal advice. These are the guys you want on your side when you're in need.

2 Anti-harassment orders

I am a resident in the state of Georgia and had 2 anti -harassment orders brought against me in the State of Washington. This was my first legal case and I was devastated . I contacted Rhodes Legal Group and spoke with Alexander Savojni. The first thing I noticed was his attentiveness to my concerns ...regarding the cases. I could tell by our initial conversation that he was a good person. Once hired , Alexander explained everything to me in a manner that I understood. He pointed out major discrepancies in the petitioners orders and told me how we would handle it. I will also note that he is extremely responsive to ANY communication and because I live in Georgia, that was of importance . While preparing for the case, I was all over the place with emotions, and at times became frustrated . Alexander kept me together and focused on what was important, which ultimately helped in getting BOTH cases DISMISSED . I was so thankful to have hired him. I am even more excited to be writing a review for him since I have NEVER written a review for anyone! Let's just say, I am in still in awe of his awesomeness! My Father who accompanied me to court in Seattle , met Alexander, and was even more impressed with his work in the courtroom. In court, the petitioners tried to pull a fast one, and he literally ripped them apart. Alexander had explained to me and my father how everything would go and could go in court, and I kid you not , it went as he had described . He really knows his stuff and knows what he is doing. I will definitely hire Alexander again for any legal needs arising out of the Seattle area as I feel that he is my fairy God lawyer for life! He is without doubt a blessing!

Fishing vioaltions

After receiving a criminal fishing charge out on the Olympic Peninsula, I was searching the internet for more information about what it all entailed and came across an article by the Rhodes Legal Group that addressed my concerns. I figured that if time was taken to write about the subject then they m...ight be attorneys I should ask for advice. I contacted their office and was referred to Alex, who did an excellent job of explaining the legal process in a manner that was straightforward and easy to understand. He further explained charges from the highest to the lowest and where mine fit in. He then presented all the possible permutations of what usually transpires in this case, and based on my particular situation, what he could leverage in my defense and what the most likely outcome would be. I promptly retained Alex, and even though it was on short notice, he put up a great defense on my behalf even in the background and was able to get my criminal charge dropped to something that doesn’t go on my record. My court appearance was merely to formalize all the work he had done representing me. I found Alex to be very personable and straight forward and who delivered more than he promised and would hire him again if I should find myself in trouble.

Obtained Anti-Harassment Protection Order

I recently had need for an attorney to aid in obtaining an Anti-Harassment Protection Order against a stepdaughter. I was very fortunate to call The Rhodes Law Group and spoke with Mr. Alex Savojni. When my husband and I met with Alex, we felt very comfortable with and confident in him. Alex began ...representing me a mere eight days before the hearing, became thoroughly familiar with my case and served a necessary subpoena. He noticed discrepancies in Declarations I had not even seen. If Mr. Savojni was not available when I called, he quickly returned my call. The hearing began and Alex commanded the courtroom. He is confident, not cocky; knows the law and abides by it and has a very high degree of integrity. Alex knew how important the outcome was to me and treated our problem as if it were his own. An attorney who knows the law and does not try to behave in an underhanded manner, will ultimately save the client money. The judge ruled in my favor. I will most definitely contact Mr. Alex Savojni if I need an attorney in the future.
