Being arrested and charged with a crime can be one of the most stressful experiences in a person's life. Effective legal representation at an early stage can make a huge difference to the outcome of a criminal case, whether it is getting charges dismissed, damage limitation of sentence by a plea deal or proactive preparation for trial.
At RBE law we recognize that being charged with any criminal offence or infraction can be incredibly stressful. We ensure that we appear on your behalf at court to lessen the stress. We also ensure that we attain the best resolution for you. It is against the law in California for anyone under 21 years of age to drink, possess or purchase alcoholic beverages.

I am in the process of joining the military and needed a written disposition for a case that I had about 5 years ago. After going through a run around in the court house as well as the DAs office I was able to get ahold of Mrs. Eeles, who was my public defender in the case. She was more than happy to help me with the situation and made what was… already a complicated situation much much easier. I can’t thank her enough for the work she has done for me. If anyone is in need of legal help /advice just know she will genuinely help help you with all her power. 11/10

My 19 year old son got into a bit of trouble while visiting Santa Barbara and we needed to find a local attorney to help as we live several hundred miles away. Rachel returned my call within minutes of leaving our message. We explained our predicament and she began to ease our worries immediately. Without asking for us to retain her, she immediately began to tell us our options, the likely next steps, likely options to defend and/or resolve the matter, timelines, what to expect. etc. She made us feel better and we felt confident in officially retaining her services.

We were very happy with counsel and outcome Rachel provided to us. I spoke with a few offices but it only took one conversation with Rachel to understand that she is the one we wanted to work with! She returned the call right away and listen to the issue, asked some information and promised to call back with details. The next call, she already have done the research, contacted the court and had proposed the action plan and gave me an incredible quote. Even before discussing any money, she went above and beyond with preliminary investigation. She was direct, efficient and committed. If you talk

Without going into detail, my son was in the wrong place af the wrong time and things looked very bleak - being out of state was even more challenging for me, and fortunately I was referred fo Rachel Eeles through a family friend here in Colorado and not only did she answer my call immediately, but her support and assistance has been fantastic and life saving and I mean these words with sincerity! I would highly recommend her services! Thank you Rachel!

I was in search of legal counsel and not being local, I contacted several attorneys by phone regarding the case and was most impressed with Rachel. She promptly returned my initial call and took the time to hear the details of the case (even though she was on vacation at the time). She is an excellent communicator and was able to advise us with care and thoughtfulness as to the best course of action. Because of her effort we couldn't have asked for a better outcome and her fee was beyond fair for the services performed.
She was intelligent, hardworking and not once did we feel lost or overwhelmed

I had the great privilege of working with Rachel at Lefebvre Chambers. She is a passionate and highly persuasive advocate, always totally committed to her client's cause. She sets herself and others the very highest standards. She is a perfectionist, meticulous in her attention to detail, and would always be my "go to" Advocate for criminal matters.

I live in Europe and did not know how to get in touch with a good attorney for my American legal issues. Most of the other Santa barbara attorneys did not answer me at all. Rachel answered my email right away and I am very happy for that. From the very first moment and throughout my case was she very communicative and showed that she had great legal knowledge. Even do I am on the other side of the globe I got a really secure feeling when she took the case. I would really recommend Rachel if you seek legal assistance. / Edvard
