Rachel Michaels lawyer review

Rachel was a fantastic lawyer. I couldn't of gotten luckier in finding her to handle my case. She went above in beyond to make sure a very bad situation was turned around quickly. She realized I was not someone who deserved the charges against me and made sure I didn't have any consequences because o...f one stupid decision. Since Rachel has helped me get through a very tough time in my life I have completely turned my life around. I have a great career and relationship and it is all because she saw who I really was and wanted to give me the opportunity to better my life, not have me caught up in the system. She knew I never had a record before this case and wanted to keep it that way. She got my charges dismissed and made sure I wouldn't have probation. I highly recommend Rachel if you need a professional, caring lawyer to handle your case.

Far Better Outcome Than Expected

I hired Rachel to represent me for traffic citations I received for an automobile accident. I was truly fearful that I may lose my drivers’ license, but at our initial consultation Rachel assured me that she could get the charges reduced. Her office was great about keeping me updated about every step... of the process and also answered all of my questions in a prompt and professional manner. I highly recommend Rachel as a highly professional and competent attorney

Wealth of Knowledge

Although Rachel often handles high profile cases, she was willing to provide me with advice on a dog-at-large case. Her advice was right on point and i was able to quickly resolve the case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
