Rachel L. Culver

My partner and I first contracted Rachel to help us with a contract for a sperm donor. She was responsive, knowledgable, and supportive throughout the process. When we eventually began IVF, Rachel helped us navigate all of the associated legal considerations, answered all of our questions in a timely... manner, and made sure we had clarity throughout the process. Once we got pregnant, Rachel shepherded us through the Parentage Order process, ensuring that our family would be fully legally protected anywhere in the US. As a queer family, it was really important to us to find an attorney that knew the legal landscape family law, had experience working with queer families, and was available to answer questions and help us navigate the complicated processes along the way. Rachel was a wonderful partner at every step. She is a clear communicator, an exceptionally competent and knowledgable attorney, and a warm and friendly person to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to build a family through assisted reproduction interventions.

Let me begin by saying that I cannot say enough about Rachel. That being said, it is my pleasure to comment on my experience in connection with my recent application for divorce, a divorce that had domestic violence issues embedded in it. Throughout that process Rachel demonstrated a high standard ...of commitment and professionalism while guiding me through the legal issues. She never lost sight of me as an individual person being dragged through an emotionally charged and regrettably acrimonious ordeal. I believe her high standard enhanced the success of my application. Working with Rachel was, and still is, a pleasure. She brings to the table a collaborative disposition all the while providing compassionate legal services through a process that is often exhausting and emotionally crushing. It might be said Rachel wears two hats and she wears them well. One where she employs her strong interpersonal skills to “hear me” and “help me” as a friend would, the other to identify the specific, objective legal issues and help guide me along that precarious path. In spite of her hectic schedule Rachel was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns and offer assistance. I would, without hesitation or condition highly recommend Rachel to anyone in need of legal counsel and legal representation.

Rachael was highly recommended to us for adoption through foster care, by friends who had been in the same boat. And she not only met the high bar but exceeded it. She expertly guided us through the process of the adoption through DCYF, discounted her fees to match the adoption re-imbursement and als...o managed to get our hearing scheduled, expedited and completed as a phone hearing in the middle of the Covid-19 shutdown. I would highly recommend Rachel!

Rachel did a wonderful job of helping me navigate unfamiliar legal terrain. My case was complex and yet she handled it thoroughly with great attention to detail. Rachel worked tirelessly to get the best outcome for my family, and never gave up. She was professional, smart and in constant communicatio...n with me every step of the way. I have referred several people to her already. Rachel is an awesome lawyer.

I sought out Rachel for legal services through a referral. Upon review of my highly complex child custody case, Rachel provided insight and concise direction on how to proceed. Throughout the case Rachel exceeded my expectations through diligence and her thorough insight of the matters at hand. Rache...l's thoughtful and direct approach, coupled with her knowledge base, have helped ease my apprehensions of the case's complexity and next steps.
