Rachael Reese, P.A.
Rachael Reese has been practicing law for ten years, specializing in criminal defense appellate and postconviction matters. Rachael obtained her undergraduate degree from Florida State University in 2011, and shortly thereafter graduated from Stetson University College of Law in May of 2014 with her Juris Doctor, Cum Laude. Rachael was not only one of a select few to participate in the College of Law’s Honors Program, but she was also a member of the Advocacy Program which has consistently been recognized as #1 in the Nation. Upon graduating, Rachael took the Florida Bar exam and passed in September of 2014, and was admitted to practice immediately thereafter.
Since becoming a member of the Florida Bar, Rachael has dedicated her career to advocating for individuals who have become incarcerated in violation of their Constitutional rights. Although Rachael originally had her eyes set on a career in family law, her goals shifted after she interned at a criminal defense firm in her second year of law school. Rachael witnessed the true injustices that her clients faced daily and the lack of representation available to them after their wrongful convictions. Rachael then spent the next decade with that same firm, fighting tirelessly to right countless wrongs.
In November of 2023, Rachael took a leap to begin her own law firm so she could focus even more of her practice on these specific areas. Rachael has helped dozens of individuals obtain relief by arguing that their constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel has been violated, or by arguing that similar rights were violated during the trial proceedings. Rachael has successfully overturned 15 life sentences, and plans to overturn many more in the future.
