About this episode

"If you're going to do something, do it well." -Brett Rhodes

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 266 features Brett Rhodes, Founder of Rhodes Law in Sonoma County, California, where he helps families create estate plans that protect loved ones and preserve legacies.

With more than 25 years of experience spanning public service, law enforcement, and the legal field, Brett brings a unique perspective to his work - combining leadership, service, and a deep understanding of the importance of planning for the future.

In this conversation, we discuss Brett's path into law, building a practice in Sonoma County, and the kinds of cases and clients that have shaped his work over the years. We also explore what it means to run a values-driven legal practice and stay grounded in work that often carries significant emotional weight for the people involved.

Brett is currently a finalist for the 2026 Best of Sonoma County in the Best Attorney category after receiving the honor last year as well.

Really appreciated the opportunity to hear Brett's story and reflect on the important work he's doing for families and his community.
