Posted by Adam | April 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

An amazing experience in a difficult situation.

In January 2017 I had to go to Connecticut to get emergency custody of my son. It was short notice and a holiday weekend Attorney Aylor took my call and walked me through the process for the emergency order. Once we obtained the emergency order I hired Attorney Aylor to represent me in the custody ...case. Due to the fact that I live in Kansas she was able to get everything ready for our custody case In Connecticut and kept me informed of everything throughout the process. The custody hearing had some unique circumstances and Attorney Aylor was able to get everything accomplished that day so that we did not have to make another trip. Rachel was very straight forward of what to expect and took the time to explain everything to me and most importantly was the fact that she was genuine and cared about my Son and I and what we were going through. I can not express my gratitude enough for all she did for my family and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needed a lawyer they could trust to look out for their best interest and that of their child.

Professional and RESPONSIVE!

I was fortunate enough to have found Rachel to help close my very difficult and contentious Post Divorce proceedings. Rachel accomplished more in the 3-4 months of working together than my previous attorney had been able to do in 18 months. Rachel's calm no nonsense approach helped me understand what... I could expect during our attempts of settlement, and how to best achieve the most positive outcome for my son. She took what was a complicated original decree and cleaned up the ambiguous language and the tripping points that caused so much heartache and distress. Additionally, Rachel was extremely proactive and RESPONSIVE to all communication, which was a breath of fresh air in comparison to the support I had received previously. Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions I have made this year, and while I hope I never have to engage her services again for my personal issues, I know she will be the first person I call if I should need additional assistance. I have recommended her to anyone I have met that is in need of a compassionate, detailed and thorough attorney and I highly recommend her professional services.

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 Review

Ms. Aylor was an excellent lawyer. At a difficult time in my life she made me feel extremely comfortable that she always had my best interests at heart. Ms. Aylor was always available to answer any questions I had and always took the time to make sure I understood everything that was happening ever...y step of the way.

Integrity & Fairness

I knew almost immediately during our consultation that Attny Aylor was the lawyer that would best represent me during my divorce proceedings. While I had intended to "put on my game face" and ask all of my questions, I instead fell apart and cried. I was emotional, confused and most of all, ign...orant to how the process of divorce even worked. Rachel kindly handed me a tissue and then in a firm (but compassionate) manner, laid out how we would/could go about the process. She assumed leadership, which I clearly needed, while providing options, which would allow me to assist in directing how my case was managed. I was impressed with Rachel's integrity and her policy of fairness for both parties. She has been mindful of my financial situation and at my request, has provided opportunities for me to do some of the "legwork" to keep my costs down. Rachel has consistently made herself available for questions or discussions and is very easily reachable via phone and/or email. She is prompt in returning all inquiries and detailed in her answers. I would definitely recommend Attorney Aylor. Her knowledge, professionalism and accessibility are of the highest quality and she is a pleasure to work with.

"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."
