About RHINO Lawyers
RHINO Lawyers works from North Twelfth Street in Tampa and lists six offices, four in Florida and two in Wisconsin. It names six attorneys, and thirteen more people in roles it states are not a lawyer’s.
It publishes 42 case results with amounts of its own, the longest such list of any firm listed in Lakeland by a wide margin, and they are its figures rather than ones we confirmed. 1,495 reviews at 4.75 across two listings. A free consultation, a 24 hour line and pages in Spanish, published. It publishes nothing about the rate or the retainer.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Certified 2026
Scored 65 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
1,495 client reviews
Counted across 2 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.
4.75 average over 1,495 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

G1 LicensureNot published by FLFlorida does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNot published by FL2 of the firm's attorneys share a surname with a disciplined attorney, and for Brandon F. Jones 1 of 3 decision(s) naming this surname have no searchable text, so they can be neither tied to nor ruled out against this attorney. The decisions that cannot be read are scans without searchable text, so this is a limit of the published record. Nothing here says the firm's attorney is that person.
G3 Entity & officeNo answer in the recordNo matching active entity in the Florida corporate register. Florida does not require a sole proprietorship or a general partnership to register, so this is a check we could not complete from this source rather than evidence against the firm
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 6 named attorneys published.
G6 Footprint2,005 public client reviews across 3 Google listings, above the 10 minimum, and the firm's domain has been registered since 2018-06-10, so it has been operating for more than a year

Frequently asked questions
How much does RHINO Lawyers charge?
RHINO Lawyers publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does RHINO Lawyers offer a free consultation?
Yes. RHINO Lawyers publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock and it publishes material in Spanish.
Where does RHINO Lawyers have offices?
RHINO Lawyers publishes three offices, in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Lakeland. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at RHINO Lawyers?
RHINO Lawyers names six attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. Its team page names thirteen more people in roles the firm states are not a lawyer’s, and they are not attorneys here. None of the six has been checked against a state register: Florida does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state’s own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results RHINO Lawyers publishes verified?
No. RHINO Lawyers publishes 42 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about RHINO Lawyers?
RHINO Lawyers scores 64 and sits at Verified. Passed: website and footprint. Did not pass: entity registration. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and discipline. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.

RHINO Lawyers has earned these 7 badges. They are free, they are not for sale, and each one links back to this page so anybody can read the evidence behind it. They are also live: the file is rebuilt every time we re-measure, so a badge on your site says what is true today rather than what was true the day you copied it.
