Bio
Rachel Cohen, MSc, CRA
Katy and I worked together closely for close to nine months. She was an excellent manager who always helped me to prioritize my tasks and responsibilities, while also providing me any necessary guidance and advice. She proved to be an exceptional asset to the firm and drastically increased profits each and every quarter as compared to before she was hired. Attorney Cummings related well to clients and they consistently felt comfortable contacting her to speak about all of their legal issues. She handled even the most difficult of clients beautifully and consistently was praised for her kind and empathetic demeanor. I thoroughly recommend Katy as I know that she will thrive in any position that comes her way.
