Excellent Attorney

Rachelle Summers is an EXCELLENT attorney. We needed a lawyer who would help us resolve an uncommon legal issue that required research and persistence. Ms. Summers researched the issue, handled all of the legal filings, stayed on top of the court, explained everything to us in layman's terms, respond...ed very quickly to my emails, and ultimately successfully resolved the issue for us. It was such a relief to find such a professional, reliable, trustworthy, personable, and skillful attorney. I highly recommend her!

Highly satisfied

I was referred to Attorney Rachelle summers through another helpful Attorney! I called her and she was very polite and very informational. I unfortunately had a longer run then we both wanted but she stuck to what she said we were going to try for and was very honest through the time. She was very pa...tient with me and answering all my questions I had for her. I am definitely highly satisfied of my outcome on my case. We got what took so long to fight for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone she is full of knowledge but shows a regular human being at the same time never like she was better than anyone else! I pray I don’t personally need her again but if someone is looking she is definitely who I would recommend 100%!!! Thank you again Attorney Rachelle!

Win

Rachelle was amazing. Very communcative. I was facing serious domestic violence charges and Rachelle explained to me everything that could happen, but then what the steps in the process were. She got my case dismissed. I am so happy I went with her.

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.
