About Rachel
Rachel Kaylie is the founder of the Law Offices of Rachel L. Kaylie, P.C. She is a skilled litigation attorney with well over 20 years of private practice experience in various areas of litigation in both state and federal courts. Her practice consists primarily of representing debtors for Chapters 7 and 13 bankruptcy matters, and plaintiff’s personal injury representing individuals injured in motor vehicle, trip/slip and fall, and construction accidents. Rachel Kaylie is experienced in handling all phases of these matters from intake to trial for personal injury, and from intake to discharge in bankruptcy.
She started in private practice in 1996 in Manhattan, handling primarily bankruptcy, personal injury, and matrimonial/family law matters. After ten years in private practice, she then worked as a law guardian for children in Family Court for the Children’s Law Center in Brooklyn. Following this, Ms. Kaylie then went back to work in the private sector, handling personal injury matters, including conducting trials.
Now, after many years of working for other practices, she has started her own law firm, with the idea in mind of filling the needs of those in her `community and beyond. Her goals are to provide her clients with quality representation and individualized attention, which reflect the high standards she demands of herself and those in her practice.
Rachel Kaylie obtained her J.D. law degree in 1994 from the New England School of Law in Boston, and is admitted to practice law in the state and federal courts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 1990 from Brandeis University, with a major in Political Science and a minor in Spanish. She is a member of the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the networking group BNI. She is also a member of the Brandeis University Alumni Association, which promotes networking opportunities amongst its members. In addition, Ms. Kaylie mentors law school students and younger attorneys in both substantive and procedural legal matters.

Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I took on a pro bono bankruptcy case for someone who was injured and accumulated a large amount of debt because she was not able to work. It made a big difference in her life to be rid of the crushing debt and give her a fresh start when she goes back to work.
How did you build a successful practice?
I do a lot of networking, advertising and I give seminars to various public groups about identity theft/credit fraud.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
A client should look for honesty in a lawyer, and reliability, a lawyer who will respond to clients' questions and phone calls and give periodic updates.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is an integral part of successfully settling personal injury cases.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I can provide a prospective client the information they need to prepare for a bankruptcy matter and personal injury matters. How to protect their rights, especially if they have a limited time to file an action.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
I need to know the date of accident for a personal injury action, and the location of the accident. For a bankruptcy, I need to know if they own real estate and/or a car.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
What makes me unique from other attorneys in my community is a willingness to spend as much time with a client as the client feels he or she needs to be comfortable with the procedure of their individual matter, whether it is a personal injury action or a bankruptcy.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
I find it most rewarding to provide someone who has fallen into a difficult situation and helping them get out of that situation.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I love to travel. I am interested in learning about different cultures, foods, ideas, ways of life.
Are you involved in your community?
I am very active in my community. I give seminars to various local religious and public service groups on identity theft/credit fraud. I take some pro bono cases, and I go to local community networking events. I also have a legal intern for the summer from a local community college.
