Celebrating 50 Years of Providing Legal Services

Since its inception in 1960, the firm has continued to grow its staff, service offerings, and commitment to the community.  Today, Rhoades McKee PC employs nearly 100 individuals and maintains offices in Grand Rapids and Grand Haven.  The firm provides comprehensive legal services to a diverse client base, from international enterprises, to local businesses, individuals and their families.    

We have decided to commemorate the anniversary with the theme “Looking Forward. Giving Back.”   Continuing in the philosophy set by our firm founders, our current members believe that to effectively serve the community they need to be involved.  Our program includes community events and sponsorships which will benefit area non-profit organizations and provide volunteer service opportunities for our members within the West Michigan community.
