Rachel and I worked together on a landlord/tenant case that went to trial in 5/2015. Rachel was great to work with: hard-working, very knowledgeable, responsive, and conscientious. Ultimately we obtained a very successful result due in no small part to Rachel's hard-work and efforts.

Relationship: Co-worker
Rachel and I worked together for three and half years at a firm that handled both criminal and civil matters. At the time, Rachel was a law clerk who was trusted to work on a wide variety of issues for the partners in the firm. She was thorough in her research and very conscientious about producing a high-quality work product for the client. Rachel is now a practicing lawyer in Las Vegas and, based upon recent media reports, it is clear that she is trusted to work on high-profile cases that require her to put her legal knowledge to work. If you are looking for a good lawyer who will work tirelessly on your case, hire Rachel. She is competent and compassionate and she will fight for you.

Great writer and fighter. She possesses two traits that are valuable and a lot harder to find these days. Produces great work and glad our respective parties were not adversarial. I know she would be tough to go against as she takes the zealous part of the oath to heart.
