About Rachel

Rachel Peraza is an associate attorney at Bucelo Diaz Law, PLLC, where she focuses her practice on Florida estate planning, probate administration, and trust matters. She joined the firm in 2025 and has been a core part of the team since, working directly with founding attorney Alexis Bucelo Diaz on plans, probates, and the day-to-day legal work that protects Florida families.

A native Spanish speaker, Rachel counsels clients in both English and Spanish and is known for the patience, clarity, and follow-through she brings to families navigating estate and probate matters.

Why Florida Families Work With Rachel

Rachel meets every client where they are. Estate planning and probate are not abstract topics; they involve a home, a parent, a spouse, the next generation. She takes the time to make the law feel approachable, walks clients through their options in plain English (or plain Spanish), and stays available throughout the engagement so families never feel handed off.

What clients consistently note about working with Rachel:

  • Plain-language counsel in English and Spanish. Difficult concepts explained without jargon, in either language.
  • Responsiveness. Calls and emails returned promptly, with clear timelines on what comes next.
  • A litigation-trained eye on planning work. Rachel began her legal career in civil litigation, which sharpens the way she anticipates disputes when drafting wills and trusts and when administering estates.
  • Generational fluency. Rachel works comfortably with both older clients planning for the next generation and adult children navigating a parent’s probate.

Education

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.), St. Thomas University School of Law, 2022
  • Bachelor of Business Administration, Florida International University, College of Business

Professional Experience

  • Associate Attorney, Bucelo Diaz Law, PLLC (2025 to Present)
  • Attorney / Law Clerk, Bucelo Law Group (civil litigation, personal injury)
  • Legal Assistant, Legal Armor (insurance litigation, contract law, civil litigation)

Rachel’s prior litigation work, before her transition to estate planning and probate, gives her a useful perspective on how legal disputes actually unfold. That perspective informs her drafting: she thinks about the people who could one day question a document, not just the people sitting at the table when it is signed.
