Rachel R. Aronov

Senior Associate

Since 2009, I have built my legal career on advocating for individuals who have suffered injuries due to negligence. As Senior Counsel at Silver Law Group, I am committed to ensuring my clients receive the compensation they deserve. My approach is rooted in tenacity, a deep understanding of personal injury law, and an unwavering dedication to justice. Having personally experienced the challenges of recovering from an accident, I understand the difficulties of seeking treatment, obtaining payment for lost wages, and rebuilding life after an injury. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping clients navigate the legal process with confidence and support.
