Grace, Strength and Knowledge

Jennifer Todd is the perfect combination of knowledge, strength, grace and resilience. Her and her team helped give me the confidence and strength that I needed on my end to successfully navigate through my divorce. Having her on my side was a game changer in how high I held my head throughout this c...hallenging time. I felt taken care of and fully supported. They respected any decisions that I felt fit my specific situation and helped me navigate through all the other feelings that came up so I could feel confident and secure in the decision we were making AS A TEAM. It was no longer "me versus my ex", it became "us fighting for my best interests". This is a team that I deserved to have by my side throughout my divorce and one that I recommend highly.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate Attorney

Jennifer took the time to get to know me and my case before developing a personalized game plan with me to get the best results possible. She is kind, compassionate and extremely well-versed in Florida family law. She was able to give me clear, accurate expectations at every step. I always knew th...at she and her team were working hard for me. She was able to make my divorce a much less stressful process for me despite dealing with unscrupulous and unprofessional opposing counsel. I really cannot recommend Jennifer and her team enough.

She makes you feel safe

I had a VERY complex custody case. She picked up my case with two weeks prior to court. She picked it up and ran with it. Her extensive amount of knowledge and compassion not only kept the case balanced, but it kept the case focused. She took an emotional situation and kept a custody and dependency c...ase directed to the heart of the matter. Her WHOLE team made this his happen. She demands respect and honor in the court room and demonstrates extensive field expertise. She was worth every penny. They are thorough. They do research. They do not sling mud. They find facts and are filled with integrity and operate in hard love. She will adapt to exactly what you need in the moment. I would tell you not to look any further. We interviewed 5-7 lawyers. We interviewed her, left and within 15 minutes turned around and paid the retainer. You should just retain on the spot. She’s in high demand, as she should be, but hands down, she is THE BEST lawyer I have ever worked with. In emotional custody situations, it is imperative to have a knowledgeable source that is ON YOUR SIDE, and will tell it like it is. OH, and we got a favorable outcome. Favorable outcomes are different for everyone, so find your idea of a favorable outcome, and then go retain Jenn, because her firm is rated top in Tampa for a reason!

Best Divorce Attorney EVER!

Despite difficult circumstances and an uncertainty of who I should turn to in order to help me through my divorce, I was thankfully able to find Rachel & Associates. Everyone was very kind in setting up my appointment, open to my situation and eager to help. I met with Jennifer for a free consultat...ion which lasted about 60 minutes. I was never rushed, never felt pressured, it was simply a conversation. Right away I knew I found the right attorney to help me navigate this difficult part of my life. Jennifer wanted to hear my story, asked questions and get a complete picture of what was going on so she could provide me the best possible explanation of how they could help. There was no sugar coating…Very early it was made clear that this process could take quite a bit of time and money to complete depending on the circumstances. There was always a desire to find the most efficient path through settlement, it was never about money, or billable hours…it was about finding resolution to the circumstances that were presented as quickly as possible. Jennifer also made it clear that this would not be a magical process that she would be able to solve without my help. She was able to paint the proper picture in my mind so that I could prepare to engage in the process and know that I had the full support of Rechel & Associates. Jennifer was very open, honest, direct, and compassionate during all of the conversations. I knew after that consultation that the firm of Rachel and Associates was the best suited for me. During the entire process, Jennifer and her team (Julie, Beth, and others) were eager to assist in any way possible. The communication lines were open. All of my questions were answered in a timely fashion and most importantly I ALWAYS felt as though everything was going to be handled properly. Meetings were accompanied with email and voice reminders to make sure I was prepared. All requests for documentation was done well in advance of any hearings. This gave me the proper amount of time to ensure everything was provided. Julie who is Jennifer’s paralegal was very organized and personable. She ensured that all of the calculations were checked and re-checked for accuracy. She didn’t let ANYTHING slip through the cracks. She was always there to help with any questions I had and also manage the many emails that came from the other party in this case. She was a pleasure to work with. Hands down, Jennifer is awesome! She is the BEST! I cannot say enough to truly show how grateful I am for her! She is professional yet relatable. She will work her tail off to ensure you get the best possible results. She is clear with her communication and expectations. She holds you accountable for what needs to be accomplished and prepares you 14 different ways prior to any hearing or trial. She is WELL prepared. There were many curve balls that came up during trial…Jennifer was prepared to handle all of them. Supporting documentation and case law was in her back pocket to rebut any item opposing counsel had to offer. She knew every single details inside and out. Nobody likes to go through a divorce, its not a pleasant part of life. But what one can only hope for is that they receive the most competent, knowledgeable, reliable and honest counsel during the process. It was not a process that I enjoyed going through, but with the support of Rachel & Associates (Jennifer specifically) the process went as smoothly as it possibly could. Laughs were traded at each visit and I can only hope that anyone else going through this difficult time can find Jennifer at Rachel & Associates to help them through this. It was truly the best possible experience I could have asked for. Thank you to Jennifer and her team for ensuring the desired results were achieved in the quickest timeframe possible! Sincerely, Joel

Services exceeded my expectations

Jennifer Todd at Rechel & Associates did an excellent job handling my divorce case. I was especially impressed that she handled things so seamlessly with me being out of state for a majority of the process. I was worried about having to make the trip from Texas back to Florida for the trial, however ...Ms. Todd was able to handle things on my behalf so that I did not have to travel, saving me time and money. All of my emails were responded to very quickly, which I appreciated. Ms. Todd's services along with the rest of her staff were quite exceptional and I highly recommend this law firm.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jennifer and I were opposing counsel in a very contested case prior to her joining Rechel & Associates, P.A. . Jennifer was not the initial attorney in the case. Rather it was given to her to handle approximately two or three weeks before the trial. Jennifer jumped right in and attempted to tackle the issues, Although we did not settle the case before trial, I admired the way Jennifer performed at the trial. She was prepared and provided competent representation despite only having the case for a very short period of time. I continue to be impressed by her work since she jointed Rechel & Associates and I look forward to working with her on more cases"
