Rachel Orosz

With over 14 years of experience as a paralegal, I bring legal knowledge and a client-centered approach to every case I support. I’m passionate about the legal field and committed to helping clients navigate complex legal processes with clarity and confidence.

I’ve assisted in preparing and reviewing legal documents, coordinating real estate closings, managing title work, and supporting comprehensive estate planning. My role bridges the gap between legal strategy and client understanding—ensuring that every detail is handled with accuracy and care. I take pride in being a reliable and resourceful team member who contributes to achieving positive outcomes for clients.=

I’m especially passionate about making the legal system feel approachable, helping individuals and families feel confident and informed during important life decisions. Whether it’s guiding a client through a home purchase or helping plan their legacy, I’m committed to delivering dependable, knowledgeable support every step of the way.

In my free time, I enjoy tennis, gardening, my dogs and spending time with family.

Assistant to David Watson

Julia Pawelec

With extensive experience in real estate management and office administration, I am dedicated to supporting the estate planning process by executing administrative tasks with precision and discretion, conducting thorough legal research, assisting in preparing and reviewing legal documents, and maintaining accurate legal records. I strive to create a supportive environment in which clients feel secure, informed, and at ease while making important legal decisions that affect their lives, families and futures.

While attending Marquette University, I concentrated my education in Political Science, which was driven by a strong interest in the legal field and in understanding the foundations of government, law, and policy. As I fostered my knowledge in that subject, I also began taking English classes as my electives and I became very interested in reading, discussing and analyzing literary works. Deciding to broaden my horizons, I pursued and graduated with a double major in Political Science and English Literature, two subjects that ultimately deepened and enriched my understanding of each other.

Outside of work, I truly love spending time in nature, especially at parks and lakes with my family and friends. I’m also very passionate about creative pursuits such as drawing, painting, baking, and writing, particularly poetry.
