A consummate professional who masters complex regulatory appeals

When our family-owned business faced a daunting regulatory appeal with a state energy commission, we turned to Stephen Rhodes. His 38 years of experience, particularly in energy regulatory and appellate law, were immediately evident. He didn't just handle our case; he educated us on the nuanced legal landscape, explaining every strategic decision with clarity. His deep knowledge, honed from decades at Fahey Schultz, transformed a potentially catastrophic situation into a favorable settlement. The recognition he's received, including Lawyer of the Year awards, is clearly well-deserved. Stephen is more than a brilliant attorney; he's a trusted advisor who combines formidable expertise with genuine personal investment in his clients' success. We couldn't have asked for better representation.
