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.

Divorce proceedings experience 2010-2011

As a client of Ms Aylor in going through a one year divorce proceeding, I have nothing but praise and the memory of a positive experience . Always open and responsive to phone calls and emails. Willing to discuss options and explain them in simple terms. Presented herself as not just my lawyer but fe...lt empathy and genuine concern for my ex as we proceeded down a path that could have easily been combative and more hurtful than it was. Her opinion and discussion with me stressed how a settlement had to fair to the judge and opposing counsel but she made sure I knew she was doing everything to give me an edge . In the end she said the decision was mine on where to draw the line.

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.
