Rachel represented me in my very trying custody case, child support petition and petition for legal fees which were all granted by the court to our favor. She is very straight forward, caring and most importantly a fighter for her client. Rachel lifted every faulty rock, notated every inconsistent statement and peeled the tarnished tint of the opposing party and presented the truth and facts of my case. She’s proven being a successful professional lawyer also meant one can be respectful, understanding and honest. Rachel has reminded me no one is above the law. She’s given me faith in the system, courage, reassurance and continued confidence. I am truly grateful for her dedication and hard work she’s put into all my cases, I simply could not have asked for more.

I have been using Rachel for the last 10 yrs for different matters. She is very thorough with any matter I have presented to her. If I had any questions regarding issues on the matter at hand, she would get back to me in a very timely manner. It may be after hours,but I would always receive a response via phone or email. I have referred her to many friends and they were absolutely satisfied with her services. I would recommend if anyone needed an Attorney for matters she handles,Rachel is the one they should be looking for. Thank you for all you have done!

Rachel has been representing my children tirelessly and with great passion for several years since 2016. At first, my daughters who were 8 and 11 at the time, were very scared to meet with their attorney. Rachel immediately put them at ease and almost instantly they felt very comfortable talking with her and sharing their feelings. Since day one, Rachel has treated my daughters as if they were her own. She has taken time out of her personal life to meet with and talk to my girls. There was a point in time, they spoke several times a day. Rachel always answered their calls and text messages without hesitation. She constantly reassured my daughters and put their minds at ease. Without Rachel, I don’t believe my girls would have survived a grueling divorce and custody battle. Rachel has watched my daughters grow into young women. They are now 13 and 16 years old. She has never missed a beat with them. She has consistently checked in on them to see how they are doing in school, if they had fun during a school vacation and just to see how they are doing in their day to day lives. She often refers to them as “my girls”. She has fought for them, believed in them and represented them fully and completely in the court setting. There truly aren’t words that could adequately express how wonderful Rachel is as an advocate for children and as a human being. She is caring, loving, dedicated and trustworthy. Rachel has also helped me through this entire process with pure professionalism. I felt from the start, my daughters were in the best of hands and would be represented fairly and honestly. Rachel is a true champion for children. She listens without bias and is 110% passionate about her role in these very often turbulent cases. After years of working with Rachel, I can honestly say she is one of a kind. She has made these very difficult court proceedings bearable and I do believe my girls and I are better for having had Rachel in our lives. I recommend Rachel Camillery without hesitation.

Rachel handle a case for me in Family Court where the deck was clearly stacked against me but she worked diligently and very hard for me and did not waiver on my goals. Even through a long knock down and drug out fight and myself wanting to give up she gave me hope.
