Rachel L. Jacobs

Rachel Jacobs brings a decade of experience in personal injury law, with a focus on representing survivors of sexual abuse and individuals harmed by negligence. A passionate advocate for the underdog, Rachel is driven by a belief that institutions and corporations must be held accountable—and that the law, when used for good, can be a powerful tool for justice.

A first-generation lawyer, Rachel was inspired to attend law school by her family history—her grandparents were Holocaust survivors—and by a lifelong desire to help people. She earned her J.D. from Cardozo School of Law, where she served as Symposium Editor of the Cardozo Journal of Law and Gender and was honored with the Jacob Burns Ethics Center in the Practice of Law Award.

Prior to joining the firm, Rachel clerked and practiced for ten years at one of New York’s leading personal injury firms. She has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star and is an alumna of prestigious programs including the David Berg Foundation Fellowship and Equal Justice Works Summer Corps.

Rachel’s approach to advocacy is deeply personal: she listens carefully to her clients, ensuring their voices shape the foundation of every case. The most meaningful moment for her in every case, is when a client simply says, “thank you,” at the close of a hard-fought case.

Outside the courtroom, Rachel serves on Binghamton University’s Harpur Law Council and Cardozo’s Alumni Leadership Council. She recharges by baking, running, reading, and spending time with her family.

If not a lawyer, Rachel might have been a history professor—but she wouldn’t trade the opportunity to stand beside her clients and seek justice on their behalf.
