Rachel’s unique combination of tenacity and kindness help her obtain impressive results for her clients, while assuring them their concerns are being heard. This has led her to being seen as one of the Midwest’s up and coming personal injury attorneys.
An In-Depth Approach and Relentless Work Ethic
“I make it a priority to thoroughly discuss each case with my clients, no matter how long or how many times it takes, to understand both what happened and how to keep it from happening again.” Rachel’s experience allows her to accurately evaluate each case while also anticipating the opposing side’s next move, both of which are crucial to her success.
In addition to her work on Kansas City truck accidents and child injuries, Rachel has a national presence among nursing home lawyers and has litigated cases throughout the Midwest. She has been a go-to for investigative journalism pieces exposing the nursing home industry, both in print and on television.
Rachel has seen firsthand how nursing homes promise the world and fail to deliver. With baby boomers getting older, for-profit companies have opened nursing homes at lightning speed, but cannot staff them. This has led to needless catastrophic injury and deaths in nursing homes. Simply put, Rachel wants to make nursing homes safer.
Rachel was born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa, and credits her Iowa background to her relentless work ethic and friendly nature. Outside of work, Rachel enjoys time with her husband, two young kids, and two dogs.
