Outside the office she focuses on improving the client experience in practical ways. That includes streamlining intake, keeping clients apprised of developments, and ensuring deadlines are met. She structures cases so that decisions are clear and next steps are defined. Her current practice is based in Virginia at the Law Office of Rachel Yates, PLLC, where she provides legal services to clients across the state.
