Rachael A. Berg is a dedicated Estate Planning Attorney serving individuals and families throughout San Diego and Ramona. As a contract attorney with San Diego Legacy Law PC, Rachael specializes in crafting comprehensive trust and estate plans that protect legacies and provide peace of mind for the future.
What truly sets Rachael apart as an attorney is her personal devotion to family. She understands that estate planning is not just about assets; it is about protecting the people you love. Rachael is happily married to her husband, Nels, and together they have raised a beautiful, large family. They are now delighting in watching the future generation grow, focusing heavily on family values and nurturing their relationships. This deep personal investment allows Rachael to approach every client’s plan with the same care and foresight she would apply to her own family.
Rachael’s professional background is uniquely enriched by her dual licensure; in addition to being an attorney, she has been a licensed California General Contractor since 2007. This rare combination gives her a real-world perspective on property, construction, and asset management—an invaluable advantage when advising clients on trusts involving real estate.
Since 2019, Rachael has operated as a solo practitioner, blending her transactional expertise with broad civil litigation experience. Having represented clients in construction defect, insurance defense, and general liability cases, she possesses the foresight to anticipate potential legal challenges and structure estate plans that proactively avoid them.
Rachael earned her J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2017, graduating with honors that underscore her expertise in this field, including the Jefferson Medal for Excellence in Wills and Trusts and the Witkin Award for Academic Excellence. She is an active member of the Probate Attorneys of San Diego and the California Lawyers Association Trusts & Estates Section.
