A Note From Rachel -
My parents went through a divorce when I was about 7 years old, their separation exposed me to a different aspect of relationships and families while growing up. Being a part of a family that went through the family law process and seeing how my parent’s lawyers helped them through the process, it made me want to provide the same support for other people.
Most aspects of family law proceedings can be challenging, and I want to be an empathetic and open ear to make this time in your life as smooth as possible. I believe both my personal and professional experiences in family law give me an understanding of what our clients, and their children, are going through.
