Rachel is a passionate advocate, dedicated to defending her clients and supporting the liberty movement. Rachel has spent over a decade advocating for protections for our Second Amendment rights, which pairs perfectly with her focus on self-defense cases. During her career, Rachel has secured multiple dismissals for major felony self-defense cases. Through Attorneys on Retainer, Rachel plans to continue as a calm, decisive presence for clients who have acted in self-defense.
Rachel joined Attorneys for Freedom in 2020 as a law clerk, where she assisted the firm’s attorneys with criminal cases and postconviction relief matters. In January 2022, Rachel was licensed as an attorney in the State of Arizona, and rejoined the firm as a criminal defense attorney. Before her time at Attorneys for Freedom, Rachel graduated from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law with a Juris Doctorate, receiving multiple awards for oral advocacy.
Rachel previously earned her B.A. in Communication Studies from the James Madison University Honors College in 2018, graduating with Latin honors and receiving Dean’s List or President’s List recognitions each semester. Rachel concentrated in Advocacy Studies and minored in Spanish, Political Communication, Sports Communication, and Honors Interdisciplinary Studies. Rachel is most grateful for her Legal Communication class, which she signed up for by accident, because it allowed her to discover her passion for law.
In her free time, Rachel enjoys hiking, going to church, spending time with her family, and watching her favorite TV shows. As a former group exercise instructor, she also loves taking boxing and weightlifting classes. Rachel is also a member of Women for Gun Rights, Arizona Citizens Defense League, the National Rifle Association, and Gun Owners of America. Rachel likes to use her legal career as a way to give back - she currently serves as a mock trial coach for high school students, volunteers with Wills for Heroes, and teaches children about the law through Law for Kids. She also serves on two Advisory Groups with the Arizona State Bar.
