Rachel Rose (formerly Hammond)

Managing Attorney | Seattle, WA

Rachel Rose is a managing attorney at S.L. Pitts, P.C., where she represents clients in all areas of family law, including complex parenting disputes, high-asset divorces, and post-decree modifications. She is known for her calm, strategic presence and her ability to guide clients through difficult transitions with clarity and compassion.

Rachel brings both litigation skill and practical problem-solving to her practice. She is an experienced courtroom advocate but also values resolution outside of court whenever it aligns with her client’s goals. Whether negotiating a parenting plan or litigating a contested support issue, Rachel is focused, prepared, and attuned to the emotional and financial realities her clients face.

Before becoming an attorney, Rachel worked in the nonprofit sector managing programs for at-risk youth. That experience shaped her commitment to helping families navigate challenging systems with dignity and support. She went on to earn her law degree from the University of Washington, where she focused on public service and family law and clerked for a Superior Court judge before entering private practice.

Clients describe Rachel as direct, thoughtful, and deeply invested in their outcomes. She takes time to understand each client’s goals and crafts legal strategies that are both realistic and effective.

Prior to joining S.L. Pitts, PC, Rachel served as a Law Clerk for Judge Eric Z. Lucas at Snohomish County Superior Court.
