Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Rachel and I were "opposing" counsel in a Collaborative divorce case. She was excellent to work with; she has a great demeanor and is very knowledgeable. I would take a case with Rachel again without question."

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 31

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Rachel is a very skillful and knowledgeable attorney, mediator, and negotiator. I have worked with Rachel very successfully in many Collaborative divorce cases in which the parties and attorneys commit to settlement negotiations in a series of carefully planned meetings. Rachel understands how to work with the attorney representing the other party in a productive and efficient manner, while being very mindful of her client's interests and the parameters of the law. Her assets include compassion and a sense of humor."

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.
