One of a Kind: Devoted & Dedicated

Rachel has been representing my children tirelessly and with great passion for several years since 2016. At first, my daughters who were 8 and 11 at the time, were very scared to meet with their attorney. Rachel immediately put them at ease and almost instantly they felt very comfortable talking with... her and sharing their feelings. Since day one, Rachel has treated my daughters as if they were her own. She has taken time out of her personal life to meet with and talk to my girls. There was a point in time, they spoke several times a day. Rachel always answered their calls and text messages without hesitation. She constantly reassured my daughters and put their minds at ease. Without Rachel, I don’t believe my girls would have survived a grueling divorce and custody battle. Rachel has watched my daughters grow into young women. They are now 13 and 16 years old. She has never missed a beat with them. She has consistently checked in on them to see how they are doing in school, if they had fun during a school vacation and just to see how they are doing in their day to day lives. She often refers to them as “my girls”. She has fought for them, believed in them and represented them fully and completely in the court setting. There truly aren’t words that could adequately express how wonderful Rachel is as an advocate for children and as a human being. She is caring, loving, dedicated and trustworthy. Rachel has also helped me through this entire process with pure professionalism. I felt from the start, my daughters were in the best of hands and would be represented fairly and honestly. Rachel is a true champion for children. She listens without bias and is 110% passionate about her role in these very often turbulent cases. After years of working with Rachel, I can honestly say she is one of a kind. She has made these very difficult court proceedings bearable and I do believe my girls and I are better for having had Rachel in our lives. I recommend Rachel Camillery without hesitation.

She’s amazing!

As soon as I met with Rachel for a consultation, I knew that she was exactly who I needed to represent me in my divorce. My situation was complex, with a home to divide and shared custody of a dog, but Rachel helped me to come up with fair wasysto handle these complexities. Rachel is extremely sma...rt, knowledgeable and compassionate. She knows her stuff! She responds to messages very promptly whether by phone or email and her staff and answering service are all very caring and professional. I would not hesitate to Hire Rachel. She is exactly who you need in your corner to navigate the complexities of the law and see you through to the best possible outcome.
