About Rachael
Biography
Dissolution of marriage and adoption are significant events that impact the family in different ways. I have the experience and empathy to guide you through the process. In addition to the legal knowledge of the family-building process, I have the first hand experience of being raised with six adopted siblings. I can support you through your divorce with empathy and understanding, but have the trial experience to back it up if your case becomes contentious.
