Posted by Andrea | April 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Amazing attorney. Compassionate and dedicated!

I found Rachel via some amazing recommendations and reviews. She represented my mother and I on separate cases. She was absolutely amazing during my entire process; extremely dedicated, kind, understanding and really achieved great results! I was also the interpreter during most of my mother’s meetin...gs with Rachel. Having English as ones second language is incredibly difficult and scary when dealing with legal matters. Legal terminology is difficult and intimidating for even native English speakers, let alone for someone who speaks English as a second language. Rachel was incredibly patient and did everything she could to communicate with my mum, and to get her the desired results. She is someone who will get back to you promptly and speak to you as a friend. She will spend hours preparing you for everything with a smile and assure you that everything will be just fine. I travel a lot for work, so sometimes mum had to meet without me, which caused me a lot of worry because I wasn’t sure how much mum would understand and mainly how afraid she would be. My mum would call me after and rave about Rachel. How smart, kind, and dedicated she was. How she was going above and beyond. You won’t ever feel like just a client in her hands. She will treat you and your case as if it were her own family. And I truly mean that. That is very rare to find, especially in the legal field. She’s incredibly smart and driven. It’s very admirable and impressive. I have since recommended Rachel to friends and my best friends mother also couldn’t be happier and more confident with Rachel on her side. I can not recommend Rachel enough. Simply an amazing young woman and attorney doing amazing things for Mainers. She will forever be our go to, and even though we never knew Rachel prior to hiring her as our attorney, she will always remain a family friend. She’s just that kind of person. You become family to her, and she will do everything she can to take good care of you. Her professionalism is beyond anything I can put into words. It’s rare that I write a review for someone, but Rachel deserves even more than anything I can put into words. I promise you, she’s simply the best.

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.
