Posted by Jason | September 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Thanks Rachel for getting the best outcome I could have hoped for!

First of all, I'm honored to write the first review for Rachel Reich. She is a phenomenal lawyer who works very well with her clients. Throughout my legal ordeal, she was always positive, professional, and focused on attaining the best possible outcome. I'm confident I couldn't have had a better expe...rience with any other attorney. During every meeting we had, she always showed up with detailed notes and maintained excellent familiarity on the evolving facts of my case. Prior to every step in the process, she made sure I was personally prepared and knew what to expect. After every meeting, court appearance, etc. she would email me a thorough account of everything we discussed and everything I needed to know moving forward. She arrived early to every single court date and met me outside to discuss what would likely be happening and she would do what she could to help calm my nerves. I can't say enough positive things about Rachel as an attorney or as a person. I'm firmly of the belief that she got me the best possible outcome, and far surpassed my expectations. An extremely compassionate, creative, tireless advocate for her clients, Rachel receives my highest possible recommendation.

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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
