“I look forward to helping our clients through a very difficult time in their lives. Many people do not have any familiarity with the criminal justice system and I look forward to helping you navigate that process as smoothly and painlessly as possible. I will provide strong, competent, and caring representation. Most importantly, I will fight hard to get you the best possible result for your case. I am thrilled to be joining your defense team!”

Rachel loves everything about the Pacific Northwest. Rachel and her husband have two dogs (also known as “fur kids”) named Apollo the Great Dane, and Scout the Vizsla. Rachel and her husband met at the dog park so they have their dogs to thank for their match, marriage, and happily ever after! They love camping, hiking, playing cards, and relaxing around a campfire with their dogs. Rachel and her husband also enjoy skiing and taking the dogs on snow adventures. Both enjoy cooking with their favorite cuisine being Mexican, BBQ, and a few Thai dishes they learned during their recent trip to Thailand. They look forward to future travels and many more adventures together.
