With Rachel on the case, I was able to move quickly to secure my parental rights AND work with my ex to work out a peaceful, positive resolution that was easy on all of us. She turned what started off as one of the worst experiences in my life into the foundation of something super positive for us that has fostered an amazing co-parenting environment for our 3 year old daughter. For any legal family matters at all, I would recommend Rachel and her team hands down. They are the nicest, hardest working, and most amazing legal team I have ever worked with. While I hope I never have to work with them again, if I do, they will be my first call.

Rachel was extremely patient and professional while working with her. I was given personalized attention and practical support through a difficult situation with a focus on promoting respectful resolution, minimizing conflict and creating a parenting plan that was focused specifically on the needs of our unique situation. I am truly grateful for her and her assistance with my case.

Rachel represented me in an unnecessarily drawn-out divorce. She was patient with me and sympathetic to the events that were out of my control. She's the same person in and out of the courtroom, which is also helpful. I knew what to expect from her at all times. Rachel allowed me to participate in the entire process, I never felt like an outsider to my own divorce. We ended up with fair agreements all around.

Very organized, diligent and responsive. Did great with evaluating the case, discussing strategies with me, and communicating with opposing counsel. Was clearly on my side but did not provide false hope or misleading information. I never felt dismissed or ignored. Very knowledgeable regarding family law. Truly one of the greats!

Rachel demonstrated her legal expertise and knowledge when I hired her to represent me in a child custody case. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued, and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed, and the process was always explained. Rachel fought hard for me she went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel represented me very well and is a very diligent attorney. She is client-focused, pays attention to detail, and is very reasonable with her billing for services. If I was ever in this situation again, I would definitely look to retain her services. She is the consummate professional.
