About
I have been practicing family and probate law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since 2010 following a cross country move from Florida to Massachusetts. In 2015 my practice expanded to include mental health law following my acceptance as a member of the Committee for Public Counsel Services' Mental Health Litigation Division. My practice focuses on the areas of family, probate and mental health law. I assist clients with navigating the difficult and emotional processes of divorce or separation, custody, child support, adoption, grandparent rights, paternity, modification, contempt, elder protective orders, guardianships and conservatorships.In addition to my love for the law, I am passionate about community involvement and volunteer with a number of Massachusetts and Cape Cod organizations including Comfort Zone Camp, Children's Cove, WE CAN and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. My memberships with the Barnstable County Bar Association (Executive Board member and Family Law Division Chair), WE CAN (Advisory Counsel member) and Cape Cod Young Professionals also allow me further opportunities for community engagement and service.

Rachel Hodgman is a dedicated, intelligent, and professional attorney who guided me through the divorce process. I would recommend her services to anyone going through the difficult and emotional experience of divorce and in my case, shared child custody. Rachel was personally invested into mine and my children’s well being. She was always available when and if I needed to talk. She looked out for me, but not in an overbearing way, when I became disillusioned with anything to do with the divorce. She represented my interests perfectly when it came down to negotiating an agreement with my ex wife and her attorney. I have a good outlook on life post divorce and Rachel greatly assisted me in achieving this.
Rachel has represented both my wife and I (in different cases.). She is truly amazing. She is very understanding and will put in the work to represent her client to the best of her ability! Hopefully neither one of us need to go back to court, however if we do we would not hesitate to call Rachel!!
I highly recommend Rachael’s legal services. She offered knowledgeable and compassionate guidance throughout what was a personally difficult time.I found her to be kind, professional,readily accessible and especially considerate of my financial situation. In addition to the fact that she is an extremely competent attorney, she is a lovely person.
I couldn’t be happier with Rachael’s pragmatic approach to my case. She was always prepared for every scenario and put me at ease at every turn.
I was a nervous wreck about getting a divorce. Rachael was my lawyer and her knowledge and confidence in the law put me at ease and I let her be my advocate knowing she would look out for my best interest. If not for her I would not have had such a good and fair outcome!
Rachel was recommended to me by another attorney who is a friend of mine during one of the most difficult times of my life. At our first meeting together, she not only listened to my whole story, but she clarified painful circumstances with reassurance and hope. Over the course of the next few months, she worked diligently to ensure that my divorce agreement and parenting plan were flawless. At such an emotional time, I am extremely grateful and beyond fortunate to have had her insight, wisdom, precision, and energy working alongside of my hopes for my new life and for my daughter's. She helped me to think of every issue- there were so many things I would not have been aware of or thought to include in our agreement that I honestly can't begin to imagine what our lives would be like if I had done this alone, but particularly without HER. She was consistently in touch with me, even when my phone calls and emails were full of random inquiries and concerns. She is exceedingly brilliant, quick, organized, and 100% on top of her game. She is so well versed and comfortable in the court system, that I felt confident and empowered walking into some of the most intense days of my life. I can't thank her enough for all of her care and expertise, her dedication... for even making me laugh at times where I thought I couldn't even smile. Rachel absolutely found her calling as an attorney. I will forever recommend her and her practice, as I can't imagine having worked with anyone else. Rachel is a gift in our lives, and now I can breathe, now I can move forward.
Rachel Hodgman was recommended to me through another lawyer. After the first meeting with her I knew that she was the perfect person to represent me. I felt as though I could completely trust her and that she would do everything in her power to get the best outcome for me. She was extremely knowledgable and so compassionate. No matter how busy she was she always returned a phone call or an email. I always felt as though I was her only client. Rachel helped to take the stress out of the most painful and difficult situation for me. I would highly recommend her!
I wanted to take a moment to thank Attorney Rachel Hodgman not only for her professionalism but also for her kindness as a human being. I just spent a year going through a pretty contentious divorce and Rachel was available for every question, every phone call and every concern. She had all the answers, all the rebuttals and ultimately I won my divorce and my family will stay in our home. All things you expect from your attorney, right? But Rachel was more than that. I am disabled with a terminal illness. Rachel acknowledged that and considered it at every turn. Always a call to see if I was physically able to make a meeting or a court appearance. She tried to keep my stress at a minimum so I would not get sicker. I only had to miss one meeting but she went without me and stated my case for me. But there was even more than that, she listened to my fears, listened to my tears and held my hand through the panic attacks that were all too frequent. I guess that's why they call her "counsel". Thank you for everything Rachel, you took what could've been an even uglier year of my life and made it bearable. I would recommend Rachel to anyone in need of an honest, intelligent and caring attorney.
