Great family lawyer!

As a father being involved in a custody battle, Mrs. Hunter belonged to the first lawyer who was not interested in my money alone but showed sincere empathy and walked her talk. Her thorough explanations helped me not only to navigate and to understand the legal implications but also to choose the mo...st promising route for my children and me. She is also experienced as an appellate attorney. Highly recommended!

Epitome of professional

I contacted Ms. Hunter regarding what I considered to be a deceptive if not outright fraudulent merchant I had the misfortune of conducting business with. Her responses to my questions showed exceptional clarity of thought and knowledge of the legal options available to me, and she was extremely thor...ough and generous with her expertise. She offered up the pros and cons of each option and was straightforward in her assessments. I highly recommend Rachel Hunter.

Perfect Advice in Obscure Area of Law

Ms. Hunter advised as to how to file $5,000 constitutional exemption from Judgment creditors in Fulton County Ga. Her Petition sailed through when I filed it. She did not charge me as I'm senior on SS. Unique lady in this day and age.

"I have had the opportunity to see hundreds of Attorney Hunter's answers to questions on Avvo. Her answers reveal a depth of legal knowledge, as well as a desire to provide the asker with practical and helpful information. Most of her answers are very detailed and in depth and go far beyond the "blurbs" that many others leave. Attorney Hunter is a credit to our profession and a great resource for the Avvo community and I am happy to endorse her and her services. James Frederick"

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Reprimand issued in NC, 2009

updated on 02/28/2013

Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Rachel’s comment:

“The discipline arose out of conduct from a judicial campaign in 2006. During my political campaign, I used the nickname of "Madame Justice" on my campaign website and in campaign materials. There has NEVER been a client complaint against me.”
