Rachel is the real deal

Going through a divorce is difficult enough—but facing false accusations during the process makes it even more overwhelming. From the start, Rachel Caldwell was a steady and reliable advocate. She approached every step with professionalism and clarity, never getting pulled into emotional distractions... or drama. Her strength lies in keeping the focus on facts and evidence. Rachel presented my case clearly, dismantling false claims not through aggression, but through truth and preparation. She was always honest with me, always prepared, and never made a promise she couldn't keep. I walked away with my integrity intact and a fair outcome—something I credit directly to her counsel. If you’re facing a high-conflict divorce or false accusations, I can’t recommend Rachel Caldwell highly enough.

Quick to take action and extremely helpful

I hired Rachel Caldwell to help with some urgent family and child law issues that I was unfamiliar with. She was quick to take action and knew the law very well, which was comforting for me. The legal process is overwhelming and confusing and she helped me stay calm during a very stressful time. T...hank you Rachel!

Great divorce lawyer

Rachel Caldwell, Alexis Ronquillo, and Cantor group represented me during my legal separation. The process was emotionally painful and complex, but I am super glad that I was working with Rachel and Cantor. They simplified and supported me through this process which was a huge help. I am extremely ha...ppy with the choice I made when I hired them. Some key points to highlight: - On-time (unlike the opposing party) were executing what needed to be done. Stuff like submitting paperwork, writing agreements, handling court communications, etc. - Met me several times to discuss different options, pros/cons, risks, and path forward. - Helped to find a common ground between me and my wife. Heard my preference/requirements; and did not jump into the aggressive path as the first solution. - Navigated complexities around dividing certain types of assets and historical context. - Had a Cantor group behind their decisions: when there were open questions, there was a brainstorming session, and helped outline options and explain the law. - Their pay structure was very transparent, and I never had questions, about why I was billed for something. I got a feeling that they had my interests in mind when picking what work needed to be done. Overall I had a wonderful experience with Rachel Caldwell and Cantor group and strongly recommend them. I do not think that anybody would enjoy divorce / separation process, but they made it less painful for me, so I am thankful for that.

I am so glad I hired Rachel for my divorce , she exactly knew the situation I was dealing with and did an excellent job with my case . Cantor law group are loving and caring people regardless and Rachel was very diligent , informing me what will happen every step of the way , suggesting what needs to... be done and her experience on family law is impeccable. I am very glad that I was very fortunate to hire such a wonderful attorney and even as a person she is very down to earth and caring .

Committed professional

Rachel Caldwell of Cantor Family Law and her team directed Gary Drapers divorce proceedings until consent degree was signed by the judge. In every way from start to finish, with unconditional professionalism, Rachel made known and explained the best way to direct the proceedings. Even though my wi...fe's attorney was consistently tardy in his responses, Rachel persevered without complaint until the divorce was finalized. When considering a family law attorney, Rachel Caldwell at Cantor Law should be your first contact. SINCERELY Gary Draper
