Fantastic Family Law Attorney!

Rachel impressed me with her knowledge, thought process, delivery, communication and professionalism. In trial, the judge even commented on how articulate she was. On top of being incredibly professional and intelligent she has a very kind heart and a wonderful sense of understanding the component...s of the human emotions, especially with children. I can not recommend her enough, especially if you need an attorney for the best interest of your children.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
