These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Rachel L. Osband is a top-rated, high quality trial attorney who brings the compassion necessary for family law with the expertise required for success. Rachel has significant experience in trial practice. Many family law practitioners will not take their clients' cases to the next level for fear of trial work. Rachel is happy to tackle this challenge. She takes on the cases other attorneys reject - and with success. Her trial advocacy is succinct, powerful and winning. Rachel leads a team that takes cases to the appellate level, too. Rachel has argued numerous times before the Minnesota Court of Appeals and written appeals with success! Further, Rachel's practice in adoptions and family law has crossed over into tribal court. In Minnesota, this is a niche that requires a lot of research and time commitment - both in navigating tribal courts and applying complex federal law that affects Minnesota families. Throughout all of this, Rachel is a sensitive counselor to her clients - both hearing them out and providing comprehensive advice. Rachel is also innovative. She handles three-way custody matters and is happy to represent members of the LGBTQ community. Rachel believes in equity and her representation of families and clients of any background proves this - as does her constant referrals in this community. Rachel is an experienced, intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate attorney whom any client should be happy to have. Rachel is also very collaborative. She is an experienced mediator so she brings those skills in advocating for her clients and working with opposing counsel. Rachel's work across the board is diverse and impactful. She is a super lawyer!”
