A legal advocate and person In a league of her own
No assemblage of words can do justice to Rachel's skills as a lawyer and her virtues as a person.

She has a ...
"Rachel is a dedicated attorney and a true advocate for her clients. She is extremely thorough and detailed. I was so fortunate to have her on my team of mediators at the Fulton Juvenile Court. Not only is she an amazing attorney, but she is an insightful and competent mediator. She truly cares about her clients and their families. If you are looking for an attorney that cares not just about your case, but is dedicated to your needs, I would recommend Rachel without hesitation."
"Rachel Elovitz has a passion for advocacy and a good head on her shoulders. I know this from working an interstate custody case with her, we had the same client. She offered consistently excellent advice and I would refer anyone with a Georgia family law case to Rachel in a heartbeat."
"I have had the great pleasure of working with Rachel both as an opposing counsel in a complex custody case and as a brain trust in other cases. Lawyers like Rachel are, unfortunately, few and far between. While advocating zealously and tirelessly for her clients, Rachel maintains the utmost integrity, professionalism, and ethical norms. There are very few lawyers to whom I would entrust the representation of my family members, friends, or myself, and Rachel is on the top of that short list."
"Although I do not know Ms. Elovitz personally, I have had the opportunity to see her answers on this site before and one in particular today from people seeking legal help. Her answers are always to the point and contain needed information, something not always seen on Avvo by attorneys. Her answers are no doubt helpful to those seeking legal assistance here. Based on her devotion of time and effort, I have no hesitation endorsing Ms. Elovitz as an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is passionate and relentlessly dedicated to her clients and the practice of law."
"I had the pleasure of working on a recent matter with Rachel Elovitz and I can say without a doubt that she is one of the most professional and hard working attorneys I have met in my career. Now that we are no longer on opposing sides, I would not hesitate to contact Rachel to discuss strategies in my cases. She brings unique insight and has more compassion than a majority of attorneys in practice. Without exaggeration I can say that if more attorneys were like Rachel the public would view lawyers differently. She is a credit to her clients and the profession as a whole."
"I have known Rachel for a number of years, and she has always shown an incredible amount of passion, concern, ethics and intelligence in how she treats her clients and presents their cases in court. What a fabulous advocate for parents and children! She represents the legal profession well."
"Rachel is always up to date on the latest family law issues and trends. She is a great attorney and dedicated to her clients. I endorse this lawyers."
"Rachel and I were recently involved in a difficult domestic case. I found her to be personable, professional and certainly a very good advocate for her client. If given the opportunity to refer someone to her for legal help in the family law area, I would not hesitate to do so. I highly endorse Rachel."
"Rachel Elovitz has established herself as a go-to expert in domestic litigation & family law. Her rare blend of interpersonal and analytical skills are invaluable to her clients and the attorneys who seek her consul. Her insight, gained through experience, gives her a sense of calm that creates focus on the goals of a case rather than the emotion that so often distracts us. I’ve found Rachel to be a great mentor and I’m grateful to have been enriched by our discussions."
"Rachel is the consumate professional. Very dedicated to her work and highly skilled. She has provided me with insight and experience based upon her many years in the profession. She truly has a great depth of both expertise and understanding and I'm proud to have had the opportunity to have worked with her."
"I endorse Attorney Elovitz as a valuable member of our profession and of this forum. Attorneys who participate in this forum are providing useful information for those in need and should be commended. Further, the type of information conveyed is in the true spirit of professionalism where information is provided to help those in need which is the underpinning of the legal profession. Often the users of this forum are given second opinions that expand on information or provide contradictory information. Providing information empowers the uninformed to go forward with confronting their legal problems. I recommend and endorse this attorney for all listed areas of practice in his profile."
"Rachel is a top-notch attorney. Rachel is diligent, wise and creative. Most importantly, Rachel legitimately cares about her clients and always strives to acheive the best results for them. I give Rachel my strongest possible endorsement: I would hire her or have her represent members of my family. She is the best."
