Admitted: New York
STRONG ADVOCATE FOR WORKERS’ COMP
Originally from Miami, Rachel relocated to New York to attend Fordham University School of Law and has remained in the area to build her legal career. Drawn to the legal profession by a love of reading, writing, and public speaking, she developed an early interest in the legal system and the principles of justice that shape society.
Workers' compensation proved to be a natural fit. Rachel enjoys the balance of legal strategy, problem-solving, and client interaction that the practice offers, as well as the opportunity to guide clients through complex matters with confidence.
"I enjoy advocating for my clients and helping them understand the legal process," she says. "My goal is to make sure they feel informed and supported so we can work together to achieve the best possible outcome."
Rachel believes strong client relationships are built on trust, responsiveness, and communication. She takes pride in breaking down complex legal issues, helping clients understand their options, and providing practical guidance every step of the way.
For Rachel, success means developing effective solutions that protect her clients' interests while minimizing exposure and moving matters toward efficient resolution. Whether through litigation, negotiation, or settlement, she remains focused on achieving results that align with her clients' goals.
Jones Jones stood out to Rachel because of its reputation in the workers' compensation community and its collaborative culture.
"I was excited by the opportunity to work alongside talented attorneys who are committed to delivering excellent results for clients while continuing to grow my own practice."
Outside the office, Rachel is passionate about supporting Parkinson's disease research and raising awareness for a cause that is deeply personal to her. She also enjoys spending time outdoors and is always looking for her next adventure, whether that's surfing, scuba diving, or exploring a new destination.
At her core, Rachel is an advocate who combines thoughtful guidance, strong communication, and a commitment to helping clients navigate challenges with confidence.
