Clear communication, attention to detail, knowledgable and approachable! Rachel is a professional strong woman, well equipped!

She was recommended by a friend going through a very challenging divorce, a picture perfect terrible messy divorce with young children. Throughout her process, she spoke of circumstances and how Rachel addressed those. The legal positioning strategies recommended by Rachel to maneuver through the n...egotiation challenges were brilliant. It's obvious, years of experience was present. Therefore, once I reached this crossroad in my life, I contacted my friend and here I am. My divorce experience was much less tense than my friends, an uncontested divorce has less drama. Non the less, experience is still very necessary to not loose your ass-ests!! Being a strong woman myself, I connected with Rachel's no non sense style. Rachel was very approachable via face time, phone line and email to answer questions, discuss details and yes, positioning strategies for the financial assets. On the final day of signing, all documents were ready to go and done it was. Smooth for sure. I would highly recommend Rachel. She will be clear and direct with you. A very necessary style of communication when going through a divorce.

Wonderful Family Attorney

Ms. Rachel King is currently my attorney handling my divorce. From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew she was extremely dedicated to her work and clients. Not only has she been timely in communicating with me, the court, and the opposing attorney, she has also been very honest in her advice ...to me. Ms.King is extremely trustworthy and prefers to help in making the best decisions for her clients and their future over making decisions that would prolong issues and cost her clients both time and money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone that needed a family attorney for custody, divorce , and/or alimony/child support issues.

Great attorney for child custody!!

Rachel was fantastic! Going through such a stressful and upsetting event, I can't imagine going through it with anyone less qualified. My ex-husband had me served with child custody modification papers right after I had gotten re-married. Rachel informed me of everything that would take place and kep...t me informed throughout the whole nearly two year ordeal. She always made herself available to me through email, text, and phone. She constantly reassured me through legal cases that were similar to mine and through my legal rights as a mother. Now that the case has been settled, and everything worked out, my children are happier than ever and I have learned a lot in the process. Not only is Rachel my attorney but now I would consider her a friend for life. All I can say is, Thank you, thank you, thank you!
