Augusta, GA
I retained Joseph Rhodes, who was acting as Of Counsel for Industria Business Lawyers LLP, for a time-sensitive business dispute. Unfortunately, the representation did not meet basic professional expectations. It also became clear during the engagement that the matter fell outside his core practice experience. This was a high-urgency dispute that required tight procedural execution, verification of filings, and disciplined follow-through. Instead, there were ongoing issues with responsiveness, uncertainty about whether key actions were actually completed, and an inability to provide clear confirmation for filings and communications that were billed as performed. These issues were particularly concerning given the high fees charged and the apparent lack of meaningful administrative or paralegal support on the matter. Tasks that should have involved basic verification, tracking, or support appeared to fall entirely on attorney time and, ultimately, on us as the client. As a result, we were forced to spend substantial time reconstructing the record ourselves and ultimately terminated the engagement. A fee dispute is now pending, and we are seeking a full refund of fees paid based on the deficiencies in the representation. Based on my experience, I would not retain this attorney for any matter
Signed a retainer for him in 2024 to only for him ti make 1 call and ignore everything else. He will not respond to me and it’s been over a year since I’ve heard from him
I just want to know if I’m divorced or not…will update if situation changes…but so far experience has been trash. Can’t get anyone on the phone EVER. I’ve got a slight suspicion yall ducking because yall haven’t done anything…..👀
This guy hounded me to sign a retainer in Sept 2024, I have contacted him several times since October with no reply via phone or email. He has not addressed my case what so ever. He told me I definitely have a case then started ignoring me. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate. It’s in regards to my child passing away . He should have been honest instead of adding to the stress and anxiety. Ridiculous
He did not follow up on my case and never answered the calls or messages only collection and no longer gave him importance. I am about to make a report in the Admissions Office of the State Bar of Georgia. He does not deserve a star.

Joe is a great choice for excellent representation in your time of need.
I've had the pleasure of working with Joe for the past four years on my custody cases, and I couldn't be more grateful. As a single father of three boys, navigating the legal system can feel overwhelming, but Joe has consistently been there to guide me every step of the way. He's always in demand, and for good reason—he doesn't just fight for short-term wins but positions you for the best long-term outcomes. Joe's expertise, dedication, and strategic approach have given me peace of mind in the toughest of times. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely fight for you and your family, Joe is the attorney you want on your side.
Joe Rhodes has really done a great job representing numerous of people I'm associated with,with great results. He's fair on his price and does a great job.i would recommend him to anybody
If I could give zero stars I would!!! He is very lazy he does not do any work on your case but he takes your money!!! I should have known he was a scam when I’m telling him about my case and he quoted me $4000 and then went down to $3500!!! I’m a single mom that had a custody case going on I don’t have money to waste on a lawyer that doesn’t do his job!!! He wasn’t telling me everything that was going on in my case!! I spoke with his paralegal Patti more than I ever spoke with him!!! I asked for an itemized expense break down and I never received it and then he requests to drop me as a client saying I didn’t cooperate with the discovery that was sent to me but I was the one reaching out to him and his office about my case and what needed to be done!!! Still to this day I haven’t received my expense break down or a refund for the amount that was left. He basically took my money and ran off and didn’t do any work!!! He also makes empty promises on your case!!!
You were terminated as a client for failing to participate in discovery despite multiple meetings with both myself and my paralegal about your discovery. You repeatedly refused to provide information that was requested which is a violation of both the order of the court and the attorney-client retainer contact. You were provided with a copy of your file before you were even terminated.
I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Rhodes, and I can't recommend him highly enough. After dealing with significant mistakes and errors made by another attorney, I was in a tricky situation that needed expert handling.

He carefully reviewed all the details of my case, identified the issues, and provided clear, actionable solutions. Throughout the process, Joe was incredibly responsive, ensuring I was informed at every step and addressing all my concerns with patience and professionalism. Thanks to his dedicated efforts, the situation was resolved efficiently and effectively. Joe's commitment to his clients and his exceptional legal acumen make this law firm the top choice for anyone in need of legal assistance. I am grateful for his support and highly recommend his services.
Being a good lawyer is not an easy job. Mr. Rhodes loves what he does and wants the win for his clients. He is also a compassionate person. His willingness to listen, then applying the law is a creative gift. The resolve of my case was surprising, and I credit the win to his thinking outside of the box. If unexpected and unusual legal issues suddenly overwhelm you, I would recommend having a consultation with Mr. Rhodes. “Very truly yours”
He has been a lifesaver, is patient, understanding, and has helped give me the second chance in life. He was a counselor that gave me more than a lawyer but a friend. Affordable services that provides at high quality. I couldn't be more grateful for a lawyer like Mr. Rhodes, don't sleep on him. He might be your ticket to freedom.
