Biography

Rachel practices in commercial litigation, an area that requires extensive amounts of research and writing. She handles general business legal matters - breaches of contract, business torts, and the like - and employment matters. Before coming to Metz Lewis, she clerked for an administrative law judge in the Department of Labor

Rachel got into law for two reasons: because of its applicability to everyday life ("it touches every aspect of our lives"), and because it's a field that isn't static ("you can argue for change").
