Jokinen assists families with the legal steps involved in administering estates and planning for the transfer of property. Her practice includes wills, estates, probate-related matters, and succession work, with an emphasis on helping clients understand Louisiana procedures and move important family and property matters forward in an organized way.

Jokinen earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Tulane University and later received her Juris Doctor from Tulane University Law School in 2021. During law school, she worked as a student attorney in the Civil Rights and Federal Practice Clinic and argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Before concentrating on succession and estate matters, Jokinen gained experience involving wills and estates, insurance liability, divorce, child custody, and property partitions. That broader civil background helps her recognize how family relationships, ownership questions, and procedural requirements can intersect in succession matters. Her work now centers on guiding clients through estate administration and planning issues while addressing documents, court procedures, and practical questions that arise during the process.

Rachel Jokinen brings a litigation-informed perspective to estate planning and succession work in Louisiana. Her Tulane legal training, federal appellate clinic experience, and prior exposure to family and property disputes support a careful approach to estate matters. She helps clients navigate succession procedures, prepare for future transfers, and address the legal details connected to wills and estates with clear, practical guidance tailored to the circumstances of each matter.
