I had the great fortune of having Rachel Highsmith as my divorce lawyer. I give my highest recommendation to her for anyone searching for an attorney in family law.

She is very professional, always prepared, knowledgable down to the minute details of the case, timely, personable, and very dependable. Her production of case documents always had very keen attention to detail and adept organization. I always knew she had my back.

My case involved a very complex divison of assets, as well as a challenging dynamic with shared parenting planning, and Rachel navigated both of these with great precision. Her dedication and research to dive into the abundance of data and noise associated with my case to produce a clear distilled synopsis and logical path forward was nothing short of spectacular. She’s passionate about what she does and it shows.

I will say my outcome was far better than I could have hoped for. Through Rachel and her tireless work, she helped guide me into that next chapter with my dignity, integrity, and soul intact. I get to be the dad I want to be.
