A Horrific Accident – But an Awesome Lawyer!

My wife was seriously injured in an accident where the other party was clearly at fault. We contacted Rachel A. Abbott at Coughlin & Gerhart – and we are VERY glad that we did! Over more than two years, Rachel and her team guided us through everything from communicating with myriad insurance comp...anies to pursuing a favorable settlement. The accident occurred out of state – so Rachel brought in a lawyer from that state to get their insight. Our questions were answered promptly, and we were always kept up to date. Something like this isn’t fun. But thanks to Rachel’s expertise, we did it! Rachel is both personable and professional. We truly cannot imagine having a better legal experience than we had with Team Rachel and Coughlin & Gerhart LLP.

Car accident

Rachel Abbott is knowledgeable, professional, caring and supportive. Rachel helped me during one of the worst times in my life. Rachel’s experience and knowledge helped me get the medical care I desperately needed. Rachel and her team were always available and extremely helpful. Rachel Abbott gave me... the peace of mind that I needed. Rachel is extremely efficient and took care of all the legal matters and got a settlement in my behalf, that let me be able to focus on my surgery and recovery. I highly recommend Rachel Abbott , I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Best choice for divorce attorney

Rachel was very clear in explaining the process and steps that needed to be taken when working through my divorce. She took my ideas into account and explained the pros and cons of each option. She always took the time to sit and discuss and I never felt rushed. Her communication was excellent and I... always got a response to my questions within a few hours. I would highly recommend her and her team.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
