Posted by Dorothy | April 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Everything I wanted, and more.

I can hardly believe my good luck in finding Rachel. After my husband died I needed to have a new Will and Powers of Attorney drawn up. Rachel made those things easy for me, and made sure I understood everything and overlooked nothing. She went beyond to helping me realize several other issues... I hadn't considered. I was dealing with some personal issues at the time, and Rachel came to my home rather than making me come to her office and followed up with phone calls and emails. Nothing could have been easier.. She listened to my concerns and patiently answered each one. I can't imagine using any other attorney.

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.
