Meet Rachael Berg

Experienced counsel.
A personal connection.

An estate planning attorney who understands that the most important part of your plan is the people it protects.

Planning with purpose.
Practicing with care.

Rachael serves individuals and families throughout San Diego and Ramona, crafting comprehensive trust and estate plans with a focus on family, property, and the future.

Her approach is shaped by her own life. Rachael and her husband, Nels, have raised a large family and now enjoy watching the next generation grow. That devotion to family informs the care and foresight she brings to every client’s plan.

Since 2019, Rachael has practiced as a solo attorney, combining transactional work with broad civil litigation experience. Her work in construction defect, insurance defense, and general liability matters gives her a practical perspective on anticipating potential legal challenges.

A different perspective on property

Alongside her legal career, Rachael has been a licensed California general contractor since 2007. This background brings real-world insight into property, construction, and asset management—particularly valuable when an estate plan involves real estate.

Rooted in the San Diego community

Rachael serves as Of Counsel and a contract attorney with San Diego Legacy Law, PC. She is an active member of the Probate Attorneys of San Diego and the California Lawyers Association Trusts & Estates Section.
