Hard working and will fight for you

I was referred to Rachel by a friend and promptly hired her after doing a little digging and finding that she was highly regarded within the community and known as a great lawyer. She really helped guide me through a tough divorce where I was in a blurry clouded state. She worked extremely hard for ...me to ensure that I got a fair shake in the end. Without her my situation would have been hopeless. She really came through and made a difficult process manageable for me and my family. I would highly recommend her services.

Ugly Divorce

Rachel was available every step of the way. The divorce had many turns and was very traumatic. Rachel walked me through each part. I never felt rushed or forgotten. Rachel’s law clerk Linda is truly an asset to her staff. I would highly recommend Rachel for anyones divorce needs.

Delayed communication

I signed into contract with Rachel in the early stages of the Covid shut-down. This was a marital settlement issue and needed to be addressed in Family Law. We could only communicated by email and a few phone calls. Her email communication was not consistent and responses were sometimes delayed. I d...o not believe she used the expertise of my Trust attorney to the extent necessary, therefore our last resolution was a compromise to her and a lot of unknowns to me. The communication with the other party was lacking in specific requirements or response time, which lead to what I view as a demand to stop. She reached out months later after no communication, then never responded again. I will definitely need a different family law attorney if and when I revisit this issue.

Family lawyer | Nov 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly endorse Rachel Crus. I have worked as opposing counsel to Rachel in at least 30 different cases over the past 25 years and she is someone I truly enjoy working with. She is professional and collaborative, but is also a zealous advocate for her clients when necessary. She also works as a mediator and has helped many of my clients find resolution to challenging cases. In this world or acrimony and unnecessarily bitter litigation, Rachel is a breath of fresh air as she is always polite and businesslike even in the face of firm opposition."
