The Best of the Best in her field of the law and expertise!

Ms. Reich is superior in the arena of the law and people facing a DUI charge. Rachel does not leave any stone unturned and she immediately went to bat for me and my result was aconvition of a reckless driving, rather than a very scary DUI conviction. Ms. Reich is absolutly the best in her field an...d I recommend her to anyone facing a DUI. Rachel is comassionate, demonstrates emathy and moreover, knows the law inside and out. I am so very greatful to this woman and what she was able to do for me. I stronly recommend Ms. Reich for any DUI related issues. Rachel A.

Thank you, Rachel. It was a pleasure working with you. Your dedication and hard work towards treatment and sobriety really aided in resolving your case favorably. Your case was an interesting fact pattern to work with and I am so pleased that I was able to talk the prosecutor into a reduction. Please reach out if you ever need anything.

Case dismissal

Thank you for your outstanding work and commitment to my case. I am very pleased with the services that I retained on such a short notice. I recognize and respect the team's level of expertise and professionalism, and I could never have gone through such an unfortunate experience on my own. I am ...beyond appreciative of the team's continuous support, communication, and updates on my case. Again, I want to thank you and your team for your outstanding work. Although I hope to never go through such an unfortunate experience again, I will absolutely keep you in mind if myself or anyone I know needs an expert level of representation.

Best Attorney I Could Have Hoped For

I feel blessed that Rachel was assigned to my case. She and 'Team Heroes' did a great job representing me in this challenging situation. She / they were always available when I needed to discuss the matters of my case, which lasted overall about 4 months. Very professional and knowledgeable, and w...orked hard to get me thru a difficult and stressful time. I highly recommend Rachel, and am very appreciative of the results.

The best and the kindest lawyer I have came across.

I stumbled upon Rachel when looking for consultation due to my old dui case. She was so professional and helpful I could not say enough good things about her communications skills and how she was able to calm me down and give me helpful advises. If you ever calm across legal issues such as mine (DUI ...in this case) hire her as she is extremely professional and knowledgeable at what she does. The only thing i regret is that i came across her only after my sentencing for consultation , I truly wish I had her representing me at my court hearing. Thanks you Rachel! Best regards, Artur Shahnazaryan

DUI

My son received 2 DUI's within 6 months of each other and was facing very harsh consequences (fines, jail, etc.) within the Washington court system. These DUI's were in two different counties so our case was very complicated. Rachel was able to represent my son for both cases and did an AMAZING j...ob! Rachel closed both cases with FANTASTIC results (way better than anticipated). She is extremely knowledgeable, honest and professional. Rachel made my son and I feel very comfortable. She never "shamed" my son, which I appreciate because people judge others when situations like this arise. There is no way we could have gotten through this without Rachel and Dichter Law Office. We appreciate their hard work and representation more than anyone could ever imagine.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have had many DUI, criminal & traffic ticket cases with Rachel over the last 7.5 years while she served as the Edmonds City Prosecutor. I always found her to be tough yet fair in every case. She knew the law and sought to vigorously enforce it. Yet she always considered the mitigating / extenuating factors that called for leniency. I expect her to be just as good a defense attorney as she was as a prosecutor."

"I have known Rachel as a prosecutor for Zachor and Thomas for the last 5+ years. Rachel was a fantastic advocate for the City of Edmonds cases where one could easily deduce she had a passion/commitment for the entity she was charged to defend. Now as a defense attorney I expect no less from Rachel. Her ability to handle witnesses and the courtroom as a prosecutor will easily translate to what's necessary for every individual case in which she is hired. Accordingly, I would place my undivided trust in hiring Rachel without any reservations."
