Great team of lawyers

Rachael Whitaker was very professional in handling my case. She was very persistent and driven when it came down to getting the right results and outcome. She was always available to assist my needs throughout my case. From day one Rachael was very easy to talk to and already had a mini game plan on ...how to handle the case moving forward. I highly recommend this law firm if you are in need of assistance.

Highly recommend! Flawless attorney!

I highly recommend you work with Rachael Whitaker! She worked through my divorce process with me. She was professional, experienced, honest and guided me through the complexity in a very clear, simple manner. She was a flawless attorney and I'll recommend her to all my friends!

Excellent Lawyer & Well Versed in Family Practice

Rachael was very professional and very organized when it came to my case. I hired her on 2 separate occasions and both times I felt like my interests were always top priority. She was very good at explaining the Law and never got my hopes up to win or lose my case. She merely gave me the fact...s of my case and then related it to my case. There were a few issues we were going through in court that were not, and did not, fall in my favor and she was very clear about that. I was not mad at the outcome because I feel she set the right expectation from the beginning. She is very honest (which is a title that is not usually associated with attorneys), punctual for court dates and always responded to my emails in 24 to 48 hours, not including weekends, and always returned voicemails that I left. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking legal help in Family Law. I have already referred one other person since and she had the same great experience as I did.

Rachael Has My Back!

I hired Rachael to help me get sole custody of my newborn son it was a very unique and difficult case compared to other custody cases I’m not going into details about my case but I can say without a doubt if I did not find Rachael I might not have my son with me today! she went above and beyond the n...ormal duties of an attorney she had heart and knew my son belonged with me! being a single father the task was not going to be easy, Rachael took the rains she was always their for me would always answer my phone calls, emails and updated I and my family along the way Rachael is a wonderful person to work with I knew she had my back and I was confident with her ability just not as attorney but as a humane being wanting to help me and my son live the rest of our lives together with that said she did amazing things and I and my son are home together the bond is unbreakable “we thank you Rachael Whitaker”

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.
