About

Garry focuses his law practice on pursuing claims against skilled nursing and assisted living facilities on behalf of residents who have been injured due to operator neglect. His experience is unsurpassed by only but a few attorneys nationally, having been involved with approximately 1000 cases involving skilled nursing or assisted living facilities.Garry started his career by representing defendants/facilities for 3 years, but the abuse of a close family member caused him to "switch sides" and devote his time to representing only injured residents. That puts him in a unique position to truly understand what you and your family are going through.Garry earned his law degree, with honors, in 1997 from the University of Florida College of Law in Gainesville, Florida, and his undergraduate degree in history 1993 from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Garry also has a master's degree in international relations from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.Garry has successfully recovered tens of millions on behalf of residents through and jury verdict, arbitration decision, and settlement. Garry also has considerable experience handling cases involving medical negligence, products liability, toxic torts, business torts, bad faith insurance, commercial litigation, premises liability, automobile liability, trucking liability, and securities/investment fraud cases, although for more than the last decade he has only handled cases against nursing home and assisted living facilities.Garry is among a relatively small group of attorneys who have successfully tried or arbitrated skilled nursing home and assisted living facility cases to verdict. A sampling of Garry's trial and arbitration experience is found below:Tried a securities investment case to a a three-person arbitration panel in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a jury in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.Tried a general partnership case to a judge in Tampa, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a three-person arbitration panel in Charlotte, North Carolina.Tried a premises liability case to a jury in St. Petersburg, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to an arbitrator in Jackson, Mississippi.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a three-person arbitration panel in Orlando, Florida.Tried a premises liability case to an arbitrator in Ocala, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a three-person arbitration panel in Orlando, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a single arbitrator in Crystal River, Florida.Tried a motor vehicle wreck case to a jury in Kissimmee, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a three-person arbitration panel in Orlando, Florida.Tried a commercial real estate case to a judge in Tampa, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to a three-person arbitration panel in Jacksonville, Florida.Tried a nursing home neglect case to an arbitrator in Orlando, Florida.Tried a birth trauma medical neglect case to a jury in Hernando, Mississippi.Garry's reported appellate and trial decisions include: Fuller v.

I want to thank Mr. Rhodes for representing me, he’s a wonderful representative he has always contact me when there is something I needed to know, he always responds back to me, in a timely manner when I had a question. If he couldn’t do it, Audrey Haun was always there as well. Thank you so much for being my attorney. Whenever I need an Attorney, I will hire you again.

I hired Garry Rhoden as the attorney to pursue my wrongful death suit on behalf of my mother. I cannot say enough positive thoughts for Mr. Rhoden for he is kind, professional, personal, and an excellent attorney. He responded to every email, call, etc immediately day and evening, and we settled very quick and without any bumps along the way. The entire legal team including his paralegals are top notch and would definitely recommend him!

After making many phone calls around Central Florida/Orlando to assist my family in my Mom's negligent fall case at a local nursing home, we finally found Garry and his wonderful team! He did inform us that these cases were usually long drawn out cases but vowed that his team would fight for my Mom. Unfortunately, Mom did end up passing away last year but Garry ended up settling her case for an amount that I know she is very happy about and we were able to see justice in the end for her. Garry, I can't thank you enough for all the hard work, time and effort your team extended to our family on winning this for Mom.

I am so fortunate to have met Mr Rhoden who went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me navigate the nuances of my case. Not only is he personable, he is extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to explain very complicated concepts to me. He kept in touch, he was accessible and his staff was warm and courteous. Thank you Mr Rhoden. You represent the best of what a great attorney ought to me.

Mr. Rhoden is with the law firm of Colling-Gilbert-Wright & Carter. He along with his associate partner Fermin Lopez did an outstanding job representing our family in a nursing home abuse and neglect case. I couldn't have been more pleased with their expertise and professionalism. We were kept up to date with each step. The care and compassion shown to our family was above and beyond. In my opinion they are definitely the best at what they do-period. I wouldn't hesitate to call upon Garry or Fermin again or to recommend them to anyone. They both not only get a five star rating from our family they get a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mr. Rhoden comes across very professionally, but allows his clients to feel comfortable. He treats his clients with the utmost respect and he keeps you informed on all litigation. He never hesitates to contact you when he feels it is necessary to discuss your case, even on the weekends, which reveals how dedicated he is to his job. He never avoids contact...ever. He is extremely intelligent and thorough. He is an asset to your case, and I wish all attorneys had his work ethic.
