Highly recommended attorney for divorce/child custody

Ms. Aylor is an experienced, highly knowledgeable, dedicated lawyer, and I would recommend her highly to anyone going through a divorce in the New Haven area. She was an absolute advocate for what I needed out of the divorce, and helped me understand what to expect during difficult proceedings. She i...s at once incredibly efficient and thorough, no-nonsense and compassionate. Her expertise as a family lawyer shone especially in the way she helped me come to a fair custody agreement and parenting plan that best benefitted my child.

Outstanding Attorney!

I am very fortunate to have hired Rachel to handle my case. She was very practical and informative of my options. She proved to be very effective and dedicated to making a solid case, which helped settle a complicated matter. Rachel kept me informed and involved throughout the process. I was aware... of fees and schedule, which helped manage my expenses and I found these to be very fair. I am very pleased with the results of my case and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone in need of an outstanding family law attorney.

Rachel Aylor Review

I was referred to Rachel's law firm by a friend who had used another attorney in the firm during her divorce. That attorney was not available. Rachel returned my call and we talked about my situation. She told me that if I wanted, she would represent me. My affirmative answer was the best decisio...n I had made in many years. Rachel was excellent!! I was a mess!! She guided me through the worst time of my life with legal expertise and efficiency as well as understanding and compassion. My ex-husband chose to represent himself but absolutely had no idea what happened in the process after I was served. Rachel did all she could to guide him to file the appropriate pleadings required of a plaintiff, so that nothing prevented the divorce from going forward without problems. Rachel provided me with the best counsel I could have imagined. She negotiated a settlement for me that was better than I anticipated. Most of all she became a friend. I would highly recommend Rachel as a family law attorney.

Divorce attorney Rachel Aylor

I met attorney Rachel Aylor and liked her direct style and helpful advice. I hired her to handle my divorce which she did very well, she helped me make key choices that helped the process go more smoothly with her guidance. Attorney Aylor is confident, professional, has experience handling family and... divorce cases, and is pleasant to work with. I have a very busy schedule and she was willing to communicate over email, phone calls and able to take my calls when I called her back because she let me know what time frames would work for her. This was huge because she works in the office and in the court. It was very easy to communicate and work through the whole divorce process. She would give me some indication of what to expect next and when we finished one phase what would happen next. I was given options of how I wanted some direction to go in the divorce proceedings since I understood my ex husband best. I found the whole process to be as Rachel explained to me and on target. This helped me cope better with the emotional piece that is always evident in a situation like this. My ex and I have been able to remain civil and put the children first and I strongly believe it is because the divorce process ran smoothly and no one was pushed to become nasty to the other. I would highly recommend attorney Rachel Aylor if her services were needed for you. The entire office staff is professional, organized, friendly, and respectful to deal with on the phone or in person. The office is conveniently near a parking garage and easy to get into and out for a New Haven office. The financial piece of the equation was on target as Rachel stated when we first met. I was able to put money down and knew when more would need to be added. I always felt the office handled this part of the process very professionally as well. It was a good experience in a difficult life situation. Rachel and her office staff made the process much easier.

My experience with Attorney Aylor

I worked with Attorney Aylor a few years ago on my divorce. While I went through a rather friendly divorce I met with attorney Aylor several times and felt very at ease with her manner and presentation. I would highly recommend her for family matters.

"Being from the same local bar I had long been aware of Attorney Aylor's fine and well deserved reputation as a talented divorce attorney; then, not long ago, she appeared on a case as opposing counsel. I found her to be extremely well prepared with an in depth knowledge of the facts of the case as well as the substantive law. It is without reservation that I highly endorse Attorney Aylor."
