Rachel Sarah Cotrino

If you're in need of a divorce lawyer, I highly recommend Rachel Cotrino. She is in Jackson and Hamilton. She knew exactly what needs to happen, and she knows the law. She was an excellent listener, which is so important when you need to trust someone and you have lots of questions. Rachel thank ...you for helping me, getting back to me right away, and being honest with me. Again, highly recommended!

On a desperate day back in December, 2011, I believe I sent an e-mail to a web-site requesting information from a 'Family Law' or 'Divorce attorney. I received two phone calls within about 15 minutes, and one of them was from Rachel Cotrino of Jackson, NJ. She spent a fair amount of time inquiring ...about my query, getting information on a 'situation' , which my daughter was in, and giving me some practical advise, without making me feel obligated to follow-through with her. I contacted my own attorney in WI to confirm whether the preliminary information I had received from Rachel was credible, and she told me I had received sound advice. Based on that...and my own intuition, I made an appointment to see Rachel in her office the next day. The rest is history. In short, I hired Ms. Cotrino to represent my daughter in a divorce proceeding, which once initiated, stretched out to about 8 months. I believe that from that very first appointment in December, Rachele gave my daugher excellent professional advice and kept her grounded and informed every step of the way through the process. She was honest and straight-forward, and she never wasted time. She advised us in great detail about how she billed for her services, and how best to consolidate our questions, e-mails, phone calls, etc., as to not incur additional, avoidable fees. She timely returned phone calls, answered e-mails, and sent out papers for review and/or signature when she said she would. I valued her reliability, her knowledge of the law, and her personal connection, which she made with us as her clients. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking an attorney well-versed in Family Law. She worked for us 'long-distance' due to the interesting circumstances of my daughter's marriage/separation, but she provided us with services I would expect from an attorney in my own town. We all thank her for her professional, impressive representation.

The reason I needed an attorney was for a simple emancipation motion and alimony reduction or elimination in Monmouth county. I live in Florida for the past five years and I needed to find someone that I could trust. After I spoke to a couple of attorneys in NJ I came across Rachels website and calle...d her. I was first impressed that it was Rachel that answered her own phone! She seemed well informed about my situation, confident and offered her services at a very fair price and informed me that she would "Fight for you all the way!" And that she did. She was diligent about the compilation of material she needed to try the case. During the whole process, the only means of communication we had was the telephone and internet. Rachel was always there for my every question to put my mind at ease. She went at the opposition with ammunition like she was going to war. Although a couple of speed bumps arose along the way, as they can, we came out victorious! I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and would strongly recommend Rachel to handle any case.

Rachel handled my divorce case. Mediation is a tough process but with Rachel as my "wing Man" (Woman), I was able to make the right decisions. I didnt have a lot of money however she gave me all her personal attention, expert legal advice and compassion. She is quick to respond and follow up.....alwa...ys answers your calls and emails! Great!

I was faced with a situation where I needed an attentive and aggressive lawyer, who should not only be knowledgeable in the US divorce law, but one who could sit and sieve through complications of US residents with links in Africa. This was an important criterion because properties at stake were in m...ore than one continent. It involved understanding of some cultural differences and learning of certain foreign terms and their implications. I therefore took advantage of the free initial meetings that a number of attorney's offer, met with 5 different attorneys in a period of about two weeks, but I finally decided on the energetic and attentive Rachel. At the end of the one year back and forth divorce proceedings, I thought she was even going to be in a position to speak the African language when she asked me, "So this lady that your soon to be Ex-wife is speaking about, was that marriage a Traditional African Marriage or just 'Kokooko' " In brief, I was very satisfied with the outcome of the case and in particular, her outstanding performance on my behalf. I hope not to go through divorce again in my life but should there be a need for it again, I will surely, use the services Rachel again.
