Kind, Real, Excellent Service

RZA offers very top-notch service from a very wise and down to earth professional. Rachael helped me review a lease for a commercial space I am renting as well as a publishing contract. She has also aided me in estate planning services when my mom was dying and I needed some significant help. She bro...ke down what was needed into language I understood, and always treated me with immense kindness in the process. She is the real deal, and I will never hesitate to call her for future estate planning and lease review needs that I have!

CEO

Rachael is always wonderful to work with. She is quick to respond to any questions and has a quick turn around time for any deliverables. She is tough yet flexible and will work hard to finish a deal. She always provides sound, quality, and experienced legal advice. We recommend her 10 out of 10 time...s!

Owner

Rachael is incredibly knowledgeable about the marijuana industry. She is friendly, helpful and handles details beautifully. I always felt assured and confident that I was being taken care of by the best. She made the sale of my business a lot less painful than it could have been and even schooled the... buyer’s attorneys on the in and outs of how to handle a sale to best accommodate the MED. I had such a great experience with RZA. I would definitely recommend Rachael. She’s the BEST!

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.
