Just the level I needed

We worked with Rachel to put a will and power if attorney in place. Quick documents were not in-depth enough, but most estate planning services were very expensive and beyond what we needed. Rachel was great for our young family, working with our needs and schedule to help us feel protected. She bro...ught great ideas to the table so we didn't start from scratch, and helped us put our ideas into a plan.

Thorough and Patient

Rachel went above and beyond for my husband and I with our estate planning. She really listened to our concerns and patiently answered many questions as everything was being put together. She was available by email and phone. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!

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.
