About Rachel
Biography
I am an estate planning and elder law attorney in the Twin Cities, working primarily out of St. Paul, MN.
I am passionate about providing legal services in the areas of estate planning, probate, elder law, and family law. These are areas of law that are intensely person in nature - and I do not take the responsibility of providing counsel around such issues lightly. My Midwest work ethic drives me to work relentlessly in my clients' best interests.
