Susan has been extremely helpful, empathetic, and professional over the years. I am grateful for her legal advice and understanding of the law!

I highly recommend Susan. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and thorough. Susan has always been professional and advocates for your child. If you want someone who is dedicated, hard working and helps you achieve your goals, she is the attorney for you.

I can not say enough great things about Susan and Sandlin Law Firm. I was referred to this firm when I moved here in 2016 while going through an ugly divorce. I have used Susan for the past 7 years and have referred her to friends that need a knowledgeable attorney who will have their back. Susan listens to the needs of her clients and truly advocates for them. I was (and still am) navigating through all the “yuck” of divorce and Co-parenting and because of Susan, I feel supported. I would not want anyone else to fight for me. Susan genuinely cares for her clients!

I wish there were more than five stars to give Susan! Not only is she an amazing attorney, she is passionate about getting results for her clients. She’s very personable and easy to talk to and we have been amazed at her knowledge of family law. She’s very thorough and made sure we understood the process all along the way. Can’t say enough good about her! If you’re looking for a topnotch, highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very personable lawyer, look no further, you have found her!

This is a lawyer who believes she knows better than doctors and therapists. Calling herself a parental coordinator, she will and does choose sides. She will give legal advice to the side she chooses (have evidence). She will disregard forensic evaluations and come to her own faulty conclusions (have evidence). She will tell you not to take child support to prevent conflict (have audio recorded evidence and it’s illegal). Have an audio recording of her telling the parent she is qualified to make decisions in others lives because she believes she is a good parent. Vindictive if you question her processes, trying to ensure punishments are incurred by the court for disobeying her (have evidence). She doesn’t collaborate with children’s therapists. She responds poorly to emails, acting southern stupid by repeatedly saying “I don’t understand what you are saying” and then charge you for it rather than get on a call you requested. Will grant the psychological abuser more time to psychologically abuse the child when it was found that the parent couldn’t maintain appropriate boundaries with the child and needed restrictions on time. Basically she is a negative advocate who perpetuates conflict for her own monetary gains. I can’t believe I witnessed this nightmare that made me lose faith in the system. She will seek retaliation, but she will be retaliating against the wrong person as I am only a witness to what she did to the parent and the children. I am just a disgusted citizen that this is the behavior of our court systems, and it prevails without checks and balances.

When looking for a divorce lawyer you need to be able to trust them and from the first consultation with her I knew I made the right choice. She was knowledgeable, professional, and was responsive. She kept me informed during the process and made it as easy as possible. Thank you to her and her firm for all of their help and support.

I moved to North Carolina in 2019 for my children. Rachel has walked with me through a thick mess with my ex husband - and continues to do so. Rachel has always maintained her level of professionalism as my attorney while also being a loyal friend. I cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am to have Rachel on my side!!

I met Rachel when she was an intern, and I knew even then that she would become a great attorney and office-mate. She is compassionate and kind, but also incredibly intelligent and able to come up with creative solutions, when appropriate. Rachel is thorough and detail-oriented, which is very important in family law cases. Rachel is definitely a rising star in the family law world, and I am happy to refer cases to her. She is someone I know I can count on to do a great job!

I tried to hire the “best” attorney in Raleigh for a nightmare divorce… in the top of the tallest building in the city. Well, after that didn’t work out after spending about 1000$ I went through 2 more attorneys. One of which told me “our best defense, is to do nothing”. Well they certainly did that well. (Aside from taking another 1800$ or so). Eventually I ended up with Rachel and things changed. Not only did she believe what I had been saying all along to the others, she proceeded to systematically destroy my opposition. Instead of losing 100k$ my wife was after she ended up with about 3000$. I have a separation agreement that took 11mos to arrive at. Only 3 or 4 of which Rachel worked on. (She did not tell me doing nothing was my best defense). She is great. I will hire her for any other divorces in the future. Certainly. Highly recommend!.

We hired Rachel through Sandlin Family Law back in 2019 and have worked with her to present day with our custody case. Rachel has been nothing short of amazing from day one. She has worked tirelessly with us, helped navigate through the court system and covid concerns, not to mention all the difficult processes of court in general. She's gone so far above and beyond for us whereas previous attorneys have not. 2.5 years in litigation because of covid and she has stuck with us through it all. She's knowledgeable, friendly, kind and a rockstar in the courtroom as far as I'm concerned. If you are in need of a great lawyer, contact Rachel at Sandlin and you will not regret it.

Rachel is a great lawyer. She took my case in a very short notice, she made sure to explain everything and made the process goes very smoothly for me. She's an excellent lawyer, very knowledgeable, and her work is impeccable. If anyone is looking for a lawyer who will be there at every step of the way, who will make the process easy and smooth, hard worker, I would recommend Rachel!

Rachel has far succeeded my expectations in every area. She is very efficient in her work so I am charged less hours than I would expect to get a job done. She is very detailed oriented and is able to quickly put the information together in a concise, organized manner - whether it is writing emails with offers or representing me in court. Rachel representing me has taken a lot of stress off of me. She has everything covered.
