Richard Robinson

Rachel is by far one of the best attorney's in Okc area. She helped with my wife's case and has always been there when I have had any questions, Hopefully very soon she will be helping me with my adoption. I know she is always there when needed and will work very hard on anything you may need.

Posted by anonymous | April 18, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Abuse

Children/DHS type case

Rachel & her team have gone up against Dhs for us/our children. Dhs removed the kids from us (Grandparents) & their mother. Placed them in the home of their abusers parents house... the father physically/sexually abused them (Dhs confirmed that fact thru their Forensic exam)! Then turned around & pla...ced the children w/the abusers parents where the abuse took place! It has been a year long battle but we thank God for Rachel & her team of knowledable whistle blowers speaking out about Dhs & civil rights being violated by the department (she is a warrior in/out of the court room! We have another upcoming court date next week so prayers are appreciated!

She fights for her clients and takes the time to listen and explain the legal process

I consulted Rachel and hired her for an employment claim. The case is still ongoing but my experience working with her has been great. Rachel is professional and very responsive. She takes the time to explain the legal process and is quick to answer questions and prepare her clients. She has also bee...n very compassionate and understanding to my cause. I feel like she really listens to my concerns and has addressed each one.

General practice lawyer | Sep 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Intelligent, Honest, and Compassionate. These are but just a few words to describe the values that Rachel upholds. She's dedicated to her clients and her craft. She's fearless in her fight for justice and quick to adapt if and when the need calls for it. When it comes time to find someone to stand up for you, you want someone with the courage to do so, you'll find that with Rachel. I would highly recommend her to those in need of help in a system where such courage is often lacking."

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.
