Family

Rachel is a very understanding, confident person and will fight for you. I hired her in 2012 for divorce case and custody of minor children and Don’t regret. I’m so happy I found someone who I can trust to the point I forget she’s my attorney, she’s like a friend, she listens to you and puts herself... in your situation. I recommend her highly. I hope this review helps someone in need of a great attorney.

Phenomenal Attorney

I originally sought a divorce/separation consultation from Attorney Crane and due to her complete honest feedback and well thought out options I decided on hiring her. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution see...med next to impossible. Attorney Crane was extremely thorough, very persistent in achieving a positive resolution, diligently research focused, fair priced, goal oriented, and always provided timely and honest feedback and answers to all my questions. Not only did she provide an outstanding service where I was able to accomplish a desired result for me and my family during my time of need, uncertainty, and heartache, but she was able to defend me from unjust accusations as well. Her calm, professional and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support and hope to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I sincerely trust her with any legal need as well as the lives of me and my and children. I highly recommend Attorney Crane without reservation.

An Angel

Rachel is an example of an attorney that ensures you are heard as a client and goes above and beyond to ensure that you are satisfied with every step taken on your case. She made me feel understood and helped me understand the court process. She doesn't take advantage of your time (money) and sees/re...spects you as an individual. She made my very nerve-wrecking experience so much smoother.

Business owner

Rachel helped us in our lease agreement for a small business location. She was patient with anything I did not understand and very thorough. Rachel was sure to make sure I was getting the best deal for my needs. She took care of any and all concerns I had in a timely manner. She was always availa...ble to talk on the phone and made this process painless! Very professional, courteous and easy to work with! Thank you!
