Dealing with child custody issues is extremely tough and both physically and emotionally draining. I would argue that as an active duty service member it is more of a challenge because the opposing party/counsel can or will always use your service as a justification to not award custody. I have been back and forth for years dealing with custody issues but I have always put our children at the forefront of my goals. When I retained Rachel she was straight forward and honest about the potential outcomes. She promised she would fight for my children and I am telling you she did just that. This woman is aggressive and will not be pushed around or intimidated. Knowledgeable, quick thinking, and thorough Rachel and her paralegal April are fighters and that is what my family needed on our side. Retain and witness her work and achieve the quality results you are praying for. No regrets. Not a single one.

I retained Ms. Sholar when I had to move my SC court order to NC where my ex-husband had moved. She was patient with me and responsive to my email inquiries, and stuck with me through five court appearances to achieve a just result. I would highly recommend Ms. Sholar.

From the first day I met Mrs. Rachel Sholar she was very professional. She stood by her word never gave me the run around, told me she would fight for my son like he was hers. She at times told me things I did now wont to hear but it was the trut. Witness her in action in the courtroom is like no other she fought hard and never gave up even when a curve ball thrown, she handled it like a true professional. She got me the outcome I wanted, she was never about rhe money like most lawyers. She is the best in Jacksonville and would recommend her to anyone.
