About Rachel
Biography
My practice has been focused exclusively on family law since 2008. A divorce is usually not just a divorce, as it also typically involves issues of child custody, child support, and alimony. Even after a divorce or custody battle is over, there may be ongoing enforcement or modification issues. You can rely on Miller Upshaw Family Law for every aspect of your case.
A little about me: I grew up in Columbia, Tennessee and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2002, majoring in political science. While attending MTSU, I was a Presidential Scholar and an active member of many campus organizations. I also served as a legislative intern in the Tennessee General Assembly and, after graduation, worked with the Tennessee General Assembly House Clerk’s Office. In 2006, I received my Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, graduating in the top one-third of my class. While in law school, I was a member of the University of Memphis Law Review and served as an officer for the Student Bar Association.
I reside in Franklin with my husband, 2 young children, and our dog. We enjoy traveling and attending comedy shows.
Aggressive and results-driven family attorney.
