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.

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 is a true professional. After working as opposing counsel on several matters, I know that Rachel works hard to bring matters to an amicable resolution while strongly advocating on behalf of her clients."
"I endorse Attorney Hodgman wholeheartedly and with tremendous respect. Rachel advocates for her clients enthusiastically and is a force to be reckoned with... all the while remaining mindful that emotions run high in practicing family, she keeps her cool and is a pleasure to work with. If it possible to get some common ground, Rachel finds the way."
"Rachel is smart, organized, and rational. She was creative with her settlement offers, and was not afraid to advocate when she needed too."
