About Rachel Marie
Rachel Marie Reight built her path to law through steady academic progress and steady commitments to the bar organizations that govern practice in her region. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Ohio State University in 2001 and continued her legal education at the University of Toledo, receiving her Juris Doctor in 2004. Those credentials set the stage for a career anchored in Midwestern practice and regional licensure.
After law school, Reight entered legal practice and pursued admission to multiple state bars. She is licensed to practice in Ohio and West Virginia, a credential set that allows her to handle matters that cross state lines or that require familiarity with differing state rules. Her dual admission reflects a practice area that spans jurisdictional boundaries and the procedural differences those boundaries create.
Over the years Reight has been an active participant in local and statewide professional networks. She maintains membership in the Ohio Bar Association and in the Stark County Bar Association. Those affiliations keep her connected to continuing education, ethics guidance, and the professional conversations that influence how lawyers serve clients and manage cases in Ohio.
Professionally, Reight is associated with Baasten, McKinley & Co., L.P.A. The firm’s roster includes attorneys who appear in state courts and who consult on a range of legal matters. Reight’s academic background in political science and her law degree from Toledo combine to inform her legal work. She applies analytical tools learned in college and law school to the practical tasks of advising clients, preparing documents, and interacting with courts and opposing counsel.
Colleagues describe Reight as methodical and precise in her approach to legal problems. She moves between research, drafting, and client consultation as cases require. Outside of courtroom or transactional deadlines, she participates in bar activities that help shape local legal practice standards. She remains based in the region where she was educated and licensed. Reight currently practices at Baasten, McKinley & Co., L.P.A., handling matters in Ohio and West Virginia.
