Rachell L. Henning

As an associate at Henningson & Snoxell, Rachell Henning brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her practice as an elder law attorney.  From an early age, Rachell has been dedicated to assisting elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities to live their lives to the fullest.

Rachell managed a residential home for individuals with disabilities earlier in her career and was quickly promoted to be a service coordinator advocating for the people she served, working closely with their families and the staff to ensure the individuals she served were receiving proper services and living fulfilling lives. Rachell also has experience working with county financial workers, social workers, and others who handled eligibility decisions for the state run programs, including Medical Assistance. Rachell was able to build relationships with those individuals to understand more about the administrative end and she is able to utilize this experience to advocate more effectively on behalf of her clients as a result.

While attending law school Rachell worked full-time as a Human Resource / Office Administrator at one of the largest law firms in South Dakota. She gained invaluable experience managing benefits, working with insurance companies, and assisting employees of all ages. She especially enjoyed working with older employees as they planned their retirement, helping them navigate the many complex decisions that retirement necessarily entailed.

Rachell’s diverse background, education, and experience outside of the legal profession has provided her with a unique skill set that enables her to relate to people from all walks of life. She provides practical, compassionate counsel to her clients with a personal touch.

Clients rely on her services in matters involving:

·       Contested and uncontested conservatorships and guardianships

·       Long-term care and health care planning

·       Special needs trusts

·       Medical Assistance

·       Gifting/asset protection planning

Rachell's work extends beyond serving the elderly. She sits on the board of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) – Minnesota Chapter.  As an active member in the Minnesota State Bar Association, she also serves on the Elder Law Section Council and Education committee.  She holds active memberships in the American Bar Association, Minnesota State Bar Association and the Hennepin County Bar Association. Additionally, she presents on a range of elder law topics at virtual events/seminars for individuals in the community and in the legal profession.
