He was always thoroughly prepared, insightful, and genuinely committed to securing the best possible outcome.

This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but with Rachael’s guidance I came through it feeling stronger, secure, and with an outcome that is best for my child and my safety. Her support throughout was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.
