Clients report wildly inconsistent experiences. Several one-star reviews describe extremely poor communication, unethical billing practices, and a lack of integrity, with Barry Rodgers specifically called out as unprofessional and biased. In contrast, a few five-star reviews praise the firm as honest, supportive, and efficient. The negative reviews far outnumber the positive, and allegations of inflated fees and double-charging are serious concerns.

Wont be recommend, terrible experience, still chasing up for my settlement paperwork.
Rodgers & Co Lawyers demonstrated a complete lack of integrity and basic professional ethics. Their bill was grossly inflated—more than double what multiple other firms quoted for similar work. It took extreme pressure just to obtain a partial breakdown, which clearly revealed blatant double-charging—something they’ve shown no intention of correcting. This isn’t just unprofessional; it borders on white-collar fraud. Communication, when it occurred at all, was evasive, dismissive, and arrogant. If I could give negative stars, I would. This firm—and its directors—uphold appalling standards and show a total disregard for honesty, decency, and moral accountability. Avoid them entirely. This is not a law firm anyone should trust with any legal matter. Avoid at all costs as they can, and will, gleefully rob you just because they are in a position to do so. Absolutely disgusting experience
Unethical service, poor communication and unsympathetic. Urge people to seek aid elsewhere
If I could give negative stars I would. Barry is unprofessional, and biased. I am currently dealing with Barry, and it's not an experience worth remembering. If you want professionalism and integrity, go somewhere else.
Worst experience ever, a nightmare dealing with Barry Rodgers, cost me megga dollars and not over yet!
Extremely poor experience. Communication was consistently lacking — messages went unanswered, updates were vague, and I was left chasing for basic information. This lack of transparency made the whole process frustrating and unprofessional. I cannot recommend their services.
