Thank you Alexander ! (Matt Perry)

I hired Alexander for a Civil Domestic matter. He was very thorough and extremely professional. His knowledge of the law in this area is very strong. He litigated my case and ultimately won. I read previous reviews before I hired him, and they are spot on. He is exactly what people have said abo...ut him. My case did have a hearing and Alexander litigated my case within the Supreme Court. He is very skilled in this area as well. I would highly recommend him. Thank you for protecting my family !

Removal of Order for Protection

A failed marriage left me with Order for Protection from my ex-wife against me since 2001. Initially it had no impact on my ability to possess firearms or to obtain a concealed pistol permit, I just couldn’t purchase any new firearms through a dealer. But in 2014, the Washington State Legislature... passed House Bill 1840 which revised RCW’s 9.41.040 and 9.41.800 and made it illegal for me to possess firearms. Because I hunt, teach Hunter Education for WA state and enjoy the shotgun sports, this well intended house bill became a legal issue that mandated the removal of the protection order, in order for me to continue to possess firearms. Contact with the Rhodes Legal Group connected me with attorney Alexander Savojni to handle my case. From the very beginning, Alexander proved his competence by being extremely knowledgeable about what must be done to effect removal of an order of protection. He provided me with the details of the five criteria which would be used by the court “In determining whether there has been a substantial change in circumstances…” per RCW 26.50.130. I wrote my initial declaration to describe details of my story; how the Order of Protection came to be, why it was inappropriate any longer and the impact to my life if my firearm possession rights weren’t restored. Alex read, edited and critiqued my declaration to reinforce the details that there “had been a substantial change in circumstances…” and to make my declaration a strong submission to the court. The court found in my favor and terminated the order of protection. I am very grateful for Alex’s expertise with this legal issue, the sound guidance he gave me, his knowledgeable recommendations and the legal representation he provided, which enabled the termination of the order of protection.

Great job on my defense

Alex did an amazing job defending me against a TPO. My wife left and tried to take my son while restricting me seeing him by filing a TPO in Washington. Alex was able to pick apart her accusations as well as the laws governing the situation and get the dvpo completely denied. I am so thankful I went ...to Alex and for everything he did for me.

My wife and I highly recommend Alex

It is very difficult to be involved in a court case, especially when that court case involves family. Alex took all the time necessary to listen to us and helped us through this most troubling time. His empathy for our situation showed us what a caring and thoughtful person he is. He was able to keep... us focused on what we needed to do even when we had to deal with mudslinging. He was able to negotiate a resolution that kept us out of court; I think that was especially important in this situation. We knew he was ready to go to bat for us and fight if need be but the way it was handled was a much better solution. We truly can’t thank him enough for all the support and work he did for us including working evenings and weekends.

Wrongful Protection Order

We had the best experience working with Alexander. It took just one call and the initial consultation to determine Alex and the Rhodes Legal Group were the team to support our claim that a Protection Order being placed on myself and my wife was just wrong. Careful and Caring work by Alex and Robert ...led us down a path that brought us to salvation. My employment and future employment do to this actions were saved. Alex's showed thoughtful considerations of all the facts. He provided a strong case to the judge that led us to victory. I would highly recommend Alex to anybody needing help in matters such as these. Thank you Alex and Robert.
