Testimonials

Rachel knows her business. When I had questions about setting up a special needs trust, she did her homework. Not only did she set up the trust but she kept me in the loop from start to finish. Whenever I have a question Rachel is always there to walk me through it. She is courteous and ALWAYS returns my calls promptly. I would recommend her for anything

J.M., Business Owner & Client

Rachel has been instrumental in helping my husband and I with his parents’ elder care needs. She provided us with a comprehensive plan to create a Trust to protect their assets as well as a plan to utilize Medicaid and VA benefits. Her team of social workers have provided support for various issues including helping to secure a hospice provider for my father-in-law. We are very pleased with the services her firm has provided. I have recommended Rachel to others and plan to continue to do so.
