Posted by Cora Thornton | October 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Probate

Rachel Lazarus is a professional and compassionate attorney. She guided me through the probate proceedings which resulted from the tragic death of my 33-year-old son. She also provided me and my four sons with relentless encouragement every week. I still do not understand how she did this with her ...workload, but she did. I lost two jobs because of grief and clinical depression. She never gave up on me; therefore, I could not give up on myself. She is the reason that I am alive today. Rachel Miller Lazarus went above and beyond her professional duties to give me hope. I learned that there is life after the death of a precious son. Thank you for helping me to return to work, maintain my career and pursue a Master's of Science Degree in Nursing. Rachel, you are my Angel :) and "One in a million".

"When I was a brand new lawyer, Rachel was incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. In addition to teaching me the basics of the practice, I had the pleasure of working with her on several cases. In addition to being kind and generous, Rachel is an excellent and dedicated attorney, and every client she's represented has been lucky to have her."

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.
