Very pleased

I recently encountered an issue and didn’t feel confident handling alone. I was very hesitant to request assistance from an attorney . I have only one other experience with an attorney and he basically took me for $2000. This was not the case with Rachelle. I called several attorneys and left voicema...ils explaining my situation and requesting assistance. Rachelle returned my call and we met shortly after. She was very quick to respond to texts and calls prior to the meeting to assure I brought all the necessary information to the meeting . I found her to be quite pleasant to work with . She never complained about my additional questions and requests. It was a complete opposite experience from the encounter with the previous attorney. Rachelle completed the request rapidly and also followed through to assure any additional requirements were completed . I will not hesitate to request her assistance in the future. It was a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her.

Don't Waste Your Money

I hired her and paid her $1500. She claimed I didn't need to be at court. But she didn't get me what I had asked for in the first place. And when I urgently needed to speak to her, she avoided my calls and texts. I even went to her office on more than one occasion and spoke with her assistant to no a...vail. She still would not return my calls.

Better experience than expected.

I dreaded having to hire an attorney, but I found my experience with Rachelle Howell to be much better than I expected. She explained everything thoroughly and helped me understand what was going on with my case every step of the way.

She took my money and then proceeded to do Nothing-

She said she would help me. I paid her, and went to her office to speak with her about my case, (drove a good distance) - she missed my first court date- and showed up empty handed for the second court date. She just sat there, she said NOTHING for me in court to help me, nothing. I wasted my money- ...she also made me sign a release stating I could not get my money back.

This review is completely fabricated. I have NEVER asked, much less made, a client "sign a release stating they could not get their money back". I invite the reviewer to contact me directly to produce the "release". Rachelle N. Howell
