GET IT DONE

Rachel took my case; she explained to me what I was going to have to do and what was expected from me. Straight up with me on time lines and encourage me in the correct direction. She always answers the phone or returns your calls and e-mails. If she doesn’t have an answer for you she follows up and ...gets back to you with one. When she is not available her staff handles the issues at hand. She positive and motivate to do what is in my best interest. Highly recommend her to anyone!

Help when I needed it most!

After my accident, this was the only law firm I called, and after meeting with Ms. Simpson I knew she was the right lawyer. She handled my case with extreme professionalism. Anytime I needed advice or updates she was there to talk. She got me an amazing outcome that I never expected, and helped take ...care of my family in doing so!

Great Service

Rachel was a great attorney for my child. She always showed sincere concern for my daughter, asking about her well beig and how well she was coming along after her accident. She stayed in touch with me regarding the progress and updates and settled the case in less then a year of the anniversity of t...he accident, which I thought was amazing. I would highly recommend her and her law firm to family and friends in the furture.

excellent

Words can not described how wonderful Rachel Simpson is! Rachel was recommended to me, when I into my car accident she came to the hospital to visit with me and check my well being. That is when our journey started, from that moment on she treated as if I her only client, I would call crying ...out of frustration, she would listen and assure me that everything will be okay. I always felt comfortable talking to her and being myself. The part that amazed me the most was she was pregnant and she never let it slow her down, she would be on phone with me saying that she was going to try and be there as long as she can to make sure I got all the help I needed. When she came back from maternity leave it was as if she wasn't ever gone, very on to of her game. I will honestly say I will miss her tons!
