“Fully Satisfied I had known Rhett professionally for years and could not have been more pleased with his handling of my car accident case. My first inclination was to let it go and not hire an attorney, but when the MRI found three herniated discs I was glad I had Rhett on my side. He got me a fair settlement that made me whole, thanks Rhett!”

“I hired Rhett after my father was in a horrific car accident. I asked lots of questions, sometimes the same questions several times, and he was always patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He helped us to understand our options, and never pressured us. He did help us to understand the system of insurance and hospital billing and how important timing is when filing against insurance co’s after an accident. He worked diligently for us under tight time constraints and was able to help my family more so than I ever expected. Even after the fact, he has been there to answer questions. I would not hesitate to use him again. Highly recommend.”
