Rachelle Chavez is a paralegal with over 30 years of experience. She has had great experience and many successes working with some of the giants of family law attorneys. She does an amazing job preparing our clients for everything that’s ahead of them through every step of the process. Her intuitive case and client needs analysis is always in-depth and spot on; she catches potential problems and pitfalls in plenty of time for them to be avoided; and she’s a vital piece of our litigation team.

Those are important and hard to find skills that contribute much to EFL’s clients achieving all their goals. Rachelle, though, brings so much more to us than her incredible technical prowess.

It’s the depth of Rachelle’s experiences that enriches EFL and our clients. Rachelle started as a receptionist at a large family law firm. She put clients at ease. She quickly became the office manager. She was more than a little intrigued by what she was seeing every day and started doing “small things” above and beyond her duties. That led to her becoming a legal assistant and immersed in every aspect of family law. Earning her promotion to paralegal was the next, logical step. The firm she spent the most time with prior to it dissolving dealt with large asset, high profile, complex cases which has given her invaluable knowledge and experience.

Somewhere in all that learning and experience, Rachelle took a sabbatical of sorts and was an advertising sales executive in the fast paced, high stress media world.
