Most ridiculous person I've ever met!

This attorney cares more about they/them pronouns then listening and advising. Back story- my husband left me for a man and is transitioning. I've know HIM as HIM for 28 years. But every time I said "he did this" or "he did that" I was corrected on "that's inappropriate, use her correct pronouns". Hi...s transition isn't complete nor in 28 years do I know him as HER. wtf? I am not a disrespectful person but point blank- I'm divorcing my HUSBAND. I don't need to be rudely talked to and corrected when I'm trying to figure out a dissolution to my marriage. Like get real here. Maybe she should change her law expertise to support LGB rights because that's all she focused on with lectures and everything. What a waste of my money and time meeting with this woman.

Brilliant, compassionate and effective attorney! One of the best

Raquel is a brilliant, compassionate and thoroughly knowledgeable attorney. I have had the pleasure of working with her on two separate matters and in both instances Raquel was informative, responsive, expedient in handling the legal matter and resolving it with the utmost efficacy and efficiency. ...I highly recommend her
