Highly Recommend!

Had a few urgent matters come up that needed to be handled quickly. Not only did Rachael get everything done on time, but she exceeded expectations in both quality and execution. Life can be stressful, but working with someone like Rachael makes it a lot easier. I highly recommend her to anyone in ne...ed of dependable, top-tier legal support.

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.
