Complete package.

After meeting with Rachel one time I knew she was exactly who I was looking for to represent me in a collaborative divorce (already in progress). She is smart, frank and had a unique blend of mediation, litigation and collaborative law experience. Rachel quickly got up to speed and sustained momentum... until the end. She was available in person, phone or email keeping me informed and was always prompt to reply. Rachel is an expert at keeping things on track without making me feel rushed to make decisions. She could decipher what I was trying to say and assured me that there were no stupid questions. Divorce is an emotional experience which Rachel deftly handled. She didn’t spin me up or minimize my feelings but rather redirected me to stay focused and moving forward. I truly appreciate Rachel and highly recommend her and her team.

Relocation and Child custody

Rachel is an amazing lawyer. She represented me on two separate cases. A true women of integrity and only interested in the facts. She refused to play any legal games and stood on the facts of both cases. She won both cases for me and always put the needs of my daughter in the forefront. Extremely pr...ofessional and well respected.

I had a wonderful experience working with Ms. Rolfs.

Rachel was wonderful in my divorce process. She clearly outlined everything that I needed to do and obtain for the process to start. She charged a very reasonable retainer. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. I never had a difficult time reaching her. She very clearl...y communicated all of the next steps to me. She clearly described what would happen in court and how to proceed. It was the fastest and cleanest divorce given the children, support, and property/debt issues we worked through.
