AMAZING!

Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I found myself in an unfortunate legal situation that ultimately had some rather substantial career implications. Rachel worked tirelessly to obtain the best possible outcome. She is incredibly hard working, compassionate, straight-forward..., and intelligent. Rachel and her team take a holistic approach and treated me with such kindness, compassion and respect. While working on my case, Rachel and her team took the time to understand me, the situation, and the future implications that the charges carried. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am that Rachel represented me!

DUI DEFENSE

Rachel Oliver is the best attorney I've ever had. She was working for the Jefferson County Public Defender's Office at the time. This was my fourth DUI in a lifetime , My last DUI was 20 years ago. I went to AA and treatment and I have been sober for over 2 and 1/2 years. She believed I took respon...sibility for my actions and I was ready to take the punishment I deserved. I was also looking at a extensive jail sentence, but I ended up with a much shorter sentence. I have had other attorneys over the years that I actually hired and paid. I have never seen or heard of a public defender attorney fighting so hard for their client. I know they are so overwhelmed with clients.. but despite that she spent a lot of time meeting with me and treated me with respect and courtesy. Rachel really cares about all her clients . I feel I owe her so much. I would hire her for anything at any time. I have recommended her to anyone I know that needs an attorney. I would never hire any other attorney except for her! She goes to bat for you, and fight as hard as she can for you. She really, really listens to what you have to say. I could go on and on how great she is , but I would run out of room. I thank her sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Corrinne Ostermiller

Rachel was the answer to my family's nightmare

A year and a half ago, my 19-year-old daughter was arrested and initially charged with 18 charges, one of which carried a mandatory sentence of life without parole. I am so glad we hired Rachel. Her and her team worked so hard for her, overturning every stone, peeling back every layer. She fought for... my daughter to the very end and we were so fortunate that through her dedication, my daughter was sentenced to probation. Rachel is truly passionate about what she does, and her work and results are a direct reflection of that. She is kind, straightforward, honest, has great people skills, great communication skills and she does not fear or avoid hard work. I know she had her work cut out for her with this case and we are so grateful she was the attorney placed in our lives. I pray we never have to go through anything like this again, but if any of my friends or family are ever in need of a criminal attorney, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Rachel.

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.
