Saved me and was tough when I was not

Rachel is the consummate perfectionist. As an attorney who practices in a different area, I was referred to Rachel by a colleague. We all know how difficult divorces are and post judgment enforcement for child support. Rachel was meticulous, left no stone unturned and helped me stay calm in a foru...m which was emotionally charged. After extensive litigation, Rachel prevailed on the child support claim, reviewed the Court's order, corrected same and due to the manner in which she litigated, I was awarded a substantial portion of attorney's fees as well.

Rachel Review

Rachel Tanguay McGuane helped my husband and I walk through our divorce collaboratively. She is very knowledgeable and guided us through every step we needed to take. If we had questions, she took the time needed to answer them and reviewed anything we were not clear with. She kept us well informed a...nd up to date with all our meetings and any additional information we needed.

Highly Professional-Solution Oriented

Rachel Tanguay-McGuane represented a member of my immediate family in a highly contentious divorce that had been purposely drawn out for years by the opposing party who was willfully uncooperative and changed lawyers frequently. Rachel was skilled in keeping on top of the situation and cutting throug...h all the obstacles and the constant changes of opposing counsel to keep the case moving ahead. She gave personalized attention and demonstrated an outstanding level of attention to detail in keeping track of all the complications and haggling over the division of assets opposite a party that tried every maneuver in the book to confound the court system. Rachel remained highly professional throughout always seeking the fairest and most equitable solution to the situation. Rachel has extensive experience and could speak to prior and relevant case law and explain the implications and how these matters would apply and be viewed by the local court. She was able to assertively advocate for the best and most reasonable position to advance and finalize the case. Without her level of determination and dedication, this case would have dragged on much, much longer.

a pleasure to work with

Ms. Tanguay-McGuane helped my husband and I negotiate our separation collaboratively. She is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and thorough. She considers all the parties involved, including and especially the children. Her fees were reasonable. I would work with her again.
