Rachel M. Crus

Worst lawyer ever DO NOT HIRE! I hired Rachel for a DVRO case in Truckee, She showed up to one hearing it got pushed to continuum which was a 30 min process. Then she stated because FL has jurisdiction over child that it wouldn't be a difficult case your retainer is $2500. I gave her the 2500, then i...n just 1 month after telling me this is going back to florida dont worry about spending much money she racked up $4500 in charges. $2000 being phone calls with opposing side lawyer which got no where and 2 hours of research for UCCJEA loopholes. Never contacted me never notified me we were over my retainer basically left me out to dry and said Ill need that other 2000 or your by yourself going forward. She is a scammer and didnt even look presentable at the hearing! Submitting formal complaint to CA BAR.

Rachel has been the most valuable person to help navigate through a very complicated and extremely messy custody battle, which had been going on for 2 years prior to hiring her as my attorney. Coming into the fight when she did, Rachael had so much to get caught up on and quickly. Rachel moved with ...professionalism, speed and grace all while providing exceptional and profound advise. Rachel assisted in me obtaining custody, as she is someone who truly cares for what is best for my son and family. Rachel has gone above and beyond in all capacities in my case, taking matters on with a lot of compassion, grit and positive energy in some of the most challenging times. In my opinion, Rachel is not only an incredible attorney, but she has proven to be someone who I consider a reliable confidant during very challenging times. I would not be where I am today as a father without the dedication, help and support from Rachel. A real life super hero!
