About Me

Hi. I'm Rachel. And I practice Fertility Law at Essig & Evans, LLP.

Every day, I get to help my clients build families through surrogacy as well as egg, sperm, and embryo donation.

​

My clients are intended parents and surrogates, recipients and donors, married and single, from the United States and all over the world, and of all sexual orientations.

​

I'm a Fellow of the prestigious Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys and a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the American Bar Association’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Committee. 

​

Outside of my legal practice, I support those going through infertility through my work with the Jewish Fertility Foundation, where I serve on its national Board of Directors. 

​

My husband and I have two kids, our artsy 6-year-old daughter and Hamilton obsessed 3-year-old son (he's particularly into the king).

​

I love wine and travel (I can't wait for my world tour visiting all my international clients) and drinking wine while traveling. In another life, I earned my chef's degree in Buenos Aires. Now I cook vegetarian meals for my family. I'm into fitness and investing and design.

​

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and am licensed to practice law in Ohio and Illinois.
