Rachel Elizabeth Reagan-Purschke

Rachel‘s been on my custody case since 2015. She has continued my case and never once have I gotten a custody order. She would continue my case left and right and blame it on the other party. She made me miss court dates, even told the judge I would pay for the others part of the GAL without discussi...ng it with me. She would say we’re going to trial and then set up a meeting for pre-trial, cancel it at the last minute and then still charge me for the meeting. By law, she is to let her clients know that she is suspended she has not done any of that not just that she’s supposed to return their full and complete file. She has not done that either. Under Missouri supreme court law 5.27. She is to return our full and complete file and she has not been answering any phone calls the door or anything. She’s taking our money and she will not return anything. I paid her for 10 years to protect my daughters from the monster that abused us. And she used that to exploit me. I feel disgusted, how can I ever trust anyone again? If anyone else was done like this they please need to report it, a friend of mine and I have been to her office the police station and the courthouses. all the while she’s acting like a victim. She has no idea what a victim is. All those years while she was bragging on Facebook with all the trips was taking her kids on.I was working my butt off taking care of my children with no child support and going to school, bought my own house with no help from anyone and given my money to her at the same time for nothing. She lied to my face every time. My daughters have been through psychiatry medication hospitals. My one daughter has to see a psychiatrist monthly therapy twice a week and Rachel’s on Facebook acting like a victim all the while I’m dealing with all of this trying to pay Rachel at the same time all for nothing. I’ve given her money for the past 10 years and I still have no court order from a very dangerous man. I asked for a general ledger August 20 when I found all of this out what she did to me. Her office got a attitude with me like I was the bad one and said they will get it when they get time. August 28. I get an email with a resignation letter and an invoice. Still not my file though because I guess they didn’t have time for that. I don’t understand, why she did this. I hope more people rise up, not for vengeance, but in the hopes she’s unable to repeat these actions to others. She gets on Facebook and post about how she’s losing everything, not one time as she is apologizing to her clients. I don’t feel like she lost anything because I don’t feel like she deserved any of it. She definitely didn’t work for any of it. I’m not trying to be mean I’m just being honest. We deserve justice. It’s the law.

Hired her for a custody case and was charged a flat fee in the beginning. She let my case drag on for years. Wouldn’t communicate about court dates and would continue my case last minute usually without my knowledge because she decided to leave on vacation. I dealt with her staff more than her and th...ey seemed confused about what Rachel was having them do. I was fined because of missed court dates that I had no idea about and it became a job for me to check up on everything myself because I couldn’t trust her to tell me about anything. After a few years of this she wanted to charge me more money because of all the “extra work” she said she had to do so I walked out and found a new lawyer and my case was settled within a month. I read a review where someone pointed out that other lawyers would speak negatively on her and she responded with a no they don’t but I have to add, they very much do.

Poor communication during entirety of my case. Poor interoffice communication. Disorganized. Unprofessional. Unapologetic. Charged me for "meeting" where she chose to discuss her personal life rather than my case for the majority of meeting. Neglects to listen. Neglects to address important details d...iscussed. Neglects to do most things she says she'll do. You and your case will not be her priority.

We hired Rachel for our adoption case. It was an uncontested case until (on the day of adoption) the mother showed up after 3 years of self-induced parental vacation. Rachel and her staff are ineffable. There's no description that would do this narrative justice to describe what they did for us. Firs...t, this was a sister vs. sister adoption case so the emotions were extraordinarily high. I called their office crying more than once and no matter who answered, they completely engulfed me in empathy, positive vibes, and calming comfort. Once, I showed up there very distraught and crying. The paralegal for Rachel WAS OUT AT LUNCH and found out I was there and upset and DROPPED WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND CAME BACK JUST TO HUG ME and to reassure me of the case and status. No one asked her to do this. She did it because she cares. Once, my wife was horribly berated and repudiated by her reprobate of a father and sister on a Saturday. Rachel found out and CALLED US ON HER PERSONAL TIME ON THE FREAKING WEEKEND and talked with my wife for over 30 minutes, relating and reassuring her of her preeminence. My emails were answered. My calls were returned. My texts were returned. And yes, her office charges for those communications but if you think you should not be charged for those things then you're daft. Go get your law degree and be a simp attorney, then. Because they all charge for those communications, as they should. But if you want the outcome of your case to have the judge's imprimatur, then do yourself just benevolence and hire Rachel. That is exactly what she did for us. After a long, more than two year drudgery, we became parents to two beautiful boys of whom we now call "sons" instead of "nephews". She is a badass and she shows it. We will forever be perpetually grateful for her kindness and affably value our steadfast friendship.
