KUDOS TO RACHEL AND HER STAFF

I had filed for disability on my own and was denied. I realized I needed expert legal guidance and hired Rachel. Throughout my entire process, Rachel provided straight forward legal guidance, answered my questions and prepared me for my hearing. There is no way I could have done this on my own. M...y paralegal, Kristy, was wonderful to work with and compiled all my medical information. I highly recommend Rachel and her staff to guide you professionally through filing for disability. You will be in good hands.

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.
