Born and raised in Illinois, Rachel Holesha developed a passion for advocacy and cross-cultural understanding early on. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Intercultural Studies, with a focus on international relations, from Elmhurst University, she moved to Arizona, drawn by its natural beauty and warm climate. She went on to earn her Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona’s James E. Rogers College of Law, where she received the Dean’s Achievement Award and Scholarship. Throughout her academic career, she maintained a strong commitment to excellence, earning a place on the Dean’s List for all four years of her undergraduate studies.
With over six years of experience in the legal field and more than three years focused specifically on family law, Rachel is passionate about guiding individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging transitions. Her work is driven by a mission to provide support, clarity, and dignity to those navigating complex and emotional legal matters. During law school, she was involved in the Civil Rights Restoration Clinic and the Innocence Project Clinic, and she previously spent four years competing in mock trial at the undergraduate level. These experiences shaped her thoughtful, client-centered approach to the law.
Outside of being an attorney, Rachel enjoys hiking Arizona’s scenic trails, reading, and spending quality time with her family and dog. Her approachable nature and deep commitment to justice make her a trusted advocate for clients seeking both strong representation and compassionate guidance.
