 5/11/20   3     1     2     2     1   If you have all the time in the world, and even more money that you have nothing else you want to do with he is your man. If you don’t mind decisions being made that pertain to you without your knowledge or consent he is your man. I’m not even sure how many times I heard, do you know how many years I’ve been doing this, unfortunately doing it for that many years did not perfect his quality of getting the work done. He is straightforward Jasper to the point where he is rude and obnoxious. Your opinion really does not matter in his eyes. He will tell you what he is going to do and how he was going to do it and you are to except it. If you try to question anything that he does, he will get very ignorant with you and possibly even yell at you. I have seen him treat his staff anyway I brought him sorry them to tears, I have also seen clients leave his office crying after listening to him yell and degrade them.He absolutely loves paperwork because he can charge you for them.

Click to report rating    3/16/20   5     4     5     5     5   I hired Ken to represent me in my divorce litigation. He is very straightforward and will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you need to go. He does not sugar coat the situation and made sure I was prepared for any situations they may have arised. He was very thorough in collecting all the information he required to defend my case. In court Ken was very prepared and knowledgable. Another incredible asset in hiring Ken is his team who were just as thorough and competent as him. I would recommend Ken! RID: 220450
Click to report rating    1/1/20   5     5     5     5     5   I needed a lawyer for a legal case. I asked my friend who I knew had legal matters done and they all gave me the same answer; Ken Rhodes. He will fight to the death for you in court. I saw him, learned that he's been a lawyer for 40 years, met his personal assistant who has been with him for 30 years. When I left the office I felt very confident. Went to court, and he won my case hands down. He gave no concessions to the other party. I found out what a true litigation lawyer really is that day. I will continue to recommend Ken Rhodes to everyone I know going through legal struggles, and will not hesitate to hire him again for myself should I need it. RID: 218623
Click to report rating    12/24/19   5     5     5     5     5   Our family has used him a few times, he is knowledgeable, and always explains things in a way that you can understand,works hard for his clients, and is not scared to take the extra steps needed RID: 218496

Click to report rating    12/18/19   5     5     5     5     5   After 2 long years of fighting Children aid society, Ken's amazing gudance and knowledge was able to get my daughter out of an unsafe home and placed with myself permanently despite CAS's efforts to prevent permanently placement. He never backed down despite having six other lawyers fighting against us. Ken and his team did everything they could to ensure the best outcome including weekend, and holiday phone calls. I wanted to give a huge thank you to Ken Rhodes and his team for helping me protect my daughter. RID: 217022
Click to report rating    8/22/19   3     1     2     3     2   This guy is a first class Donald Trump. I used him once and will never use him again. I had simple questions, he was rude and told me 'do you know how many years I've been doing this? like it was a fight, however I had questions, and I was spending my money with him. I felt like a child, and that he was the angry parent in the situation. He was also talking to his colleagues in a highly flustered and degrading manner, they should take him to court for mistreatment. You could tell that his staff were unhappy one looked like she was almost in tears from his rude manner and harsh words. Honestly, do not bother with this lawyer, first and foremost people wish to deal with somebody level headed and decent, which Ken is clearly not. I felt abused by the time I was done with him, but kept my mouth closed as I wanted a simple transaction, and an easy life. Thinking back, I should have probably told him that I was disgusted with the service but I did not want to have issues with my property. RID: 213867
Click to report rating    3/19/19   5     4     5     4     5   Mr. Rhodes made me feel like someone was fighting for me during my divorce. He was good at explaining the court proceedings and helped me move on from something very hurtful. I've heard horror stories of lawyers taking advantage of people and gouging them with unnecessary cost. Mr Rhodes was very fair. Id recommend him to any woman who needs a good lawyer. RID: 209539
Click to report rating    2/19/19   5     5     5     5     5   Ken Rhodes is a fantastic lawyer and he helped me get custody of my kids. That's a real challenge for a father but he made it happen for me so now the kids and I are happier and have some level of peace in our lives. As a matter of fact I know a few fathers that used Ken to achieve custody of their kids so he knows how to get it done. Just like any case, you need to put in the work and Ken prepared everything to win. Great communication and results- I recommend Ken Rhodes to everyone that asks me if I know a good lawyer. If your in a mess, you need the best and after I heard what Ken has done for other people I know, I knew he was the best chance I had and it could not have worked out any better. RID: 208587
Click to report rating    1/29/19   1     1     1     1     1   I had a horrible experience with Rhodes. TV and movies give lawyers a bad rep of being greedy, and Mr Rhodes proved it to be true. My bill was outrageous and included services I didnt even approve-would not recommend. Go to a bigger town and get a real lawyer, its worth the drive. RID: 207920
Click to report rating    10/26/18   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Rhodes was presented with several confusing cases against my son-in-law. This resulted in many charges, some criminal and some civil. The plaintiff embellished scenarios, lied about the facts and had witnesses who lied to support his charges. Evidence and facts were intertwined from one case to several of the others. Mr. Rhodes and his team professionally and methodically sorted through the massive amounts of information and presented arguments in defence such that the crown and the presiding judge were able to see through to the actual truth. The cases were spread over a very difficult three year period. Mr. Rhodes performed well above and beyond the call of duty. We are extremely pleased with Mr. Rhodes and his team's actions and are prepared to recommend his services to any and all who need legal support. RID: 204953

 10/25/18   5     5     5     5     5   Ken and his team were outstanding in their commitment to myself and my family. They went above and beyond our expectations, not only in their service, but to make sure our family felt secure and comfortable during a difficult time, over a three year journey. We cannot thank them enough. We couldn't be happier and will recommend Ken and his team to others. RID: 204915
Click to report rating    10/24/18   5     5     5     5     5   WE WERE STRANGERS WHEN MY EXTREMELY Volatile SEPARATION STARTED. Now we are friends for life. His demeanor in court along with his incredible memory was outstanding. His perpetration was bang on and we were able to prevail. That was for custody of two children and the financial outcomes. Over the two years of court appearances the support staff at his office always informed me of the times and had all the paperwork ready for me. Everyone would explain and would navigate the legal system for me.I felt very informed and comfortable with all the proceedings as they were life changing for me and my kids.My issues were very important to him and always looked after all the avenues to satisfy me personally > that was impressive !I cant thank Mr Rhodes and his incredible staff enough ! RID: 204868
Click to report rating    11/27/17   1     1     1     1     1   Ken Rhodes is shady and should not be trusted. He pretends to represent clients who have never retained him and when inquiries are made, he ignores all requests. He has caused my family much stress by ignoring several attempts at communication and has allowed a deadbeat dad to threaten me using his name. Do not trust this 'lawyer'. RID: 193366
Click to report rating    9/26/17   1     1     2     1     1   Pompous and talks in circles. Will schedule numerous appointments to go over same things and then is constantly watching his watch. Forgets what you tell him because he doesn't want to hear what your saying he has an idea from onset and doesn't listen to details. Sticks his chest out like he is the greatest but just there to bleed you dry while he parks his $150 000 car right in front of his window. Would have saved lots of money by going elsewhere and had to switch part way through because of his ineptitude and his staff not giving me key papers. Avoid this man. RID: 190954
Click to report rating    11/10/16   5     5     5     5     5   Ken Rhodes did more for us than anyone will ever know. He helped us win custody when it was almost for certain we would lose. At times I was so frustrated at the work and the cost but he was awesome. He was willing to negotiate and was flexible. He tells you like it is and gives you the worse case scenario but he fights because it's his reputation on the line. If you are willing to fight he gives you 110%. I recommend him time and time again.. RID: 176730
Click to report rating    10/31/14   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Rhodes has been our lawyer for 8 years. We hired him initially for a terrible custody battle that we thankfully had the foresight to see would be brutal and ugly (worse than we even thought possible - 4 years of ugly - but we WON!). Mr. Rhodes was impeccable. He tells you like it is. He doesn't pull any punches. He abhors if you keep important information from him as he hates surprises and being blind-sided. That being said, we have utilized his services for our custody battle, both of our mortgages and lastly, for personal reasons. Every incident had great results. I will continue to use his services and value his knowledge and expertise as long as he in practise. One thing I will mention, he works as hard for you as you are willing to work for yourself. If you don't give 110% to your case then why should he? His rates are also extremely reasonable. The more prep I compiled the more leniency he provided on our fees. RID: 145468
Click to report rating    9/4/14   5     5     5     5     5   I have used Ken as my lawyer on two separate occasions and would use him again. The first time was during a very nasty break up. His expertise protected me completely from a situation where I could have been taken advantage of financially by an unscrupulous man trying to take advantage of me as a widow. He is very professional and does a wonderful job at a reasonable cost. If I ever had to go to court for any reason at all, he would be the man I would want representing me - he is knowledgeable, thorough and very tenacious - all the things you would want and need. He explained the technical "lawyereze" language in layman's terms so his communications skills are good. I am pleased to say I have now met a wonderful man. We did everything correctly this time - co-habitation agreement (for my benefit - my partner's insistence), real estate transaction and wills. To sum it up, Ken has worked as a highly respected lawyer in Chatham for many years for good reason. I trust him completely. RID: 142642
Click to report rating    7/17/14   5     5     5     5     5   Ken Rhodes is a great lawyer and I am extremely happy I went with him. He is very knowledgeable and thourough by discussing the relevance of covering every detail and the importance of gathering the essential documents. He and his team are great to work with and prepare to win just as we did. He uses all necessary resources in order to obtain the most positive results and will tell you straight up what the reality of your case is. Remember,you have to be willing to do what's required by you and actually have a reasonable case otherwise you will be switching lawyers every couple months and leaving poor feedback on every lawyers profile. You are hiring him to be your lawyer,not your friend and if you are in business, Ken is the lawyer you want. He understands our challenges,has great comprehension of finacial statements unlike alot of lawyers so his experience as a professional shines thru especially in this area. He's chosen by many high profile clients in the area for good reason. RID: 139784
Click to report rating    6/30/14   5     5     5     5     5   Went to Mr Rhodes from another lawyer in Chatham Mr Rhodes did more in 1 month than the past lawyer did in 3 yrs !!!! I cannot tell how nice it is to deal with someone that is competent !!!! RID: 139013
     5/22/14   5     5     5     5     5   First and foremost, most people never praise someone for a job well done but are quick to jump on a job that doesn't go their way. Shame on you. Ken came highly recommended from a friend who has a very large stake in the local farming industry. With Ken's legal counsel, I am involved in a tenacious custody battle with the top legal firm in London. Ken is professional. He is honest which bothers some people because sometimes the truth hurts....he will tell you truth. If you need to be hugged and coddled I suggest you move on. Ken is a pitbull and has dug in for me to do battle with an entire team of lawyers and my ex. His work is thorough and precise. His assitant Karen is top notch as are the others in his office. With nearly 40 years of experience he has earned my trust and respect. Because of his work I'm a single dad with custody of his little one...how many other dads can say that? :) RID: 137177
     7/26/13   2     1     4     1     1   Wish I would have read the other reviews before deciding to use Mr. Rhodes. He is extremely unprofessional and his communication skills are horrible, even for an attorney. He completely mishandled our case and failed to notify us of court dates on more than one occasion. He made many mistakes and tried to blame them on us. We are now searching for a new attorney to handle the remainder of our case, even though Mr. Rhodes was currently working for us at NO CHARGE in order to correct his past mistakes. Even his free services are a poor value. RID: 119337
Click to report rating    9/20/09   2     3     3     2     2   Ken can be a bulldog at times, but he can be all over the place at times. My billing experience was a nightmare. And I still have to deal with his unfinished business as anticipated issues have come up. WOuld never go to him again. RID: 22300
