About
Attorney Rachel Laborde obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language, Literature and Culture from Marquette University and subsequently earned her Juris Doctor from Marquette University Law School. Attorney Laborde focuses her practice in Divorce and Family Law, where she excels in negotiating, mediating and litigating cases involving paternity, custody, physical placement, child support, maintenance, divorce, legal separation and post-judgment modifications. She is committed to delivering a client-centered, problem-solving approach where she consistently strives to reach results that provides the greatest value and long-term benefits to clients. She is confident that most cases can be resolved in a quick and cordial fashion, but Attorney Laborde is prepared to litigate with unwavering fervor should a mutually agreeable solution be out of reach.Attorney Laborde is also a Certified Collaborative Family Law Lawyer. Collaborative family law practice is a unique, reasonable approach to handling a divorce or other family law matter, founded on three core principles: a written pledge not to fight in court, and withdrawal of the hired professionals if either party chooses to fight in court, open communication between the parties with an honest and good faith exchange of information, and negotiations leading to a mutually acceptable settlement that takes into account the highest priorities of all family members. The collaborative approach works with a team mindset; you and the other party, along with your attorneys, use the skills of mental health and financial specialists to maximize positive outcomes for the family. In addition to divorce, you can use the collaborative process in other family law matters such as paternity, annulment, legal separation, pre-marital agreements, post-nuptial agreements, non-marital relationships and same-sex relationships. The issues addressed in collaborative cases are the same ones addressed in traditional litigation cases: child custody and placement, property valuation and division, child support, maintenance (alimony), taxes, and insurance.

My case was quite unique and difficult. Not only did Rachel Laborde represent me legally, but was compassionate and supportive through all of the ups and downs I encountered. I can't thank her and the staff enough for what they have done for me. I am impressed with the way professionalism was maintained while supporting me emotionally. I would recommend Rachel to anybody who needs help through a difficult situation. As far as I'm concerned, she is absolutely the best.
Detailed, candid and professional. I personally appreciated the very specific information on what to expect and what not to expect as well as what was realistic. Attorney Craig did her homework and keep me informed. Should I have a future legal need she will be on the top of my list.
Rachel was very professional and never pushed me to do anything I didn't want to do. She knew what she was doing and quickly did research for my unique situation. Having to go through a divorce is hard enough but having one party in another country where the laws are different was worse. She made the process go smoothly and kept me up to date every step of the way. All my questions were answered quickly and all voicemail messages were answered within 24 hours. Nothing but positive things to say about her. Would highly recommend her to anyone, especially with unique cases like mine.
As messy as the divorce process is Rachel made it as easy as could be. She always kept me informed and let me know of certain situation that could arise. She was very honest and made sure that I was comfortable with every situation. She knew exactly how to handle, what seemed like, every situation. I couldnt have got through the process without her. Absolutely fantastic.
I have worked with Attorney Craig on several issues over the years, even while she was still attending Marquette Law School and working as an intern, her attention to detail and diligence on behalf of her clients was always the priority. She makes a superb advocate for whomever she is representing.
Rachel was an outstanding attorney throughout my child custody and support case. She was incredibly prepared and always ready and willing to answer my questions. It was a long case but Rachel fought hard for what was best for me and my son throughout the whole process. I am grateful for her dedication and legal support. I would recommend Attorney Craig in a heartbeat.
Attorney Craig was a god send for me when I needed it most. She treated me like a person not a client by explaining difficult legal terms in a straightforward manner. She told me what to expect at hearings and handled all aspects of my case so that I could focus on my children during a difficult divorce. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past, she by far, is the best I have ever had. I would highly recommend her.
Attorney Craig was very knowledgeable throughout my case. I would recommend her to anyone with a family law issue. She helped with my divorce and was able to help me get what was best for myself and my children. She was always thinking about the long term consequences of the legal choices.
While the reason for my need of an attorney (divorce) is emotional, Attorney Craig has been very kind, and a pleasure to go through this with. She is patient with me, and she always gives me time to think of and ask more questions when we meet or speak on the phone. I had sent an email on a Saturday and she called me back on Sunday! Attorney Craig is very organized and detail oriented. Every meeting, including the first hearing with my husband and the Commissioner, she was calm and confident which helped my nerves and anxiety remain calm and confident. The office is very friendly as well. Again, the reason is unfortunate, but the experience with Attorney Craig really has been excellent.
Met with Rachel, who I do agree is a very fierce individual, for a consultation regarding child custody. I am well educated as I hold two degrees however my husband is not and has learning disabilities. She made my husband feel very inadequate. No one should make a person feel in such a way. My husband utilized the office multiplying times in the past and this was the first unpleasant experience he had. Rachel should learn to display more compassion and empathy for her clients. It's not always about the monetary amount.......
