Rachel C. Welty

Rachel formed Welty Law Office in order to focus her practice in the areas of Family and Juvenile Law, including divorces, modification and contempt proceedings, child custody and visitation, parentage, child support, dependency and neglect, orders of protection, father's rights, adoptions, and juvenile delinquency.  Rachel also spends time in juvenile court as a Guardian Ad Litem looking out for the best interests of children and serving as a defense attorney for juveniles.  Through her practice of family and juvenile law, Rachel is able to advocate for children and give them a voice in a legal system where children all too often get lost.  Additionally, she strives to provide her clients with quality representation from someone they can trust and confide in.
