Rachel E. Gusman

Rachel E. Gusman is a partner with Graves McLain Injury Lawyers. She is a committed and passionate advocate for her clients’ rights, concentrating her practice in the areas of medical negligence, motor vehicle accidents, personal injuries, vaccine injuries, and civil rights litigation.

In 2012, Rachel secured an $11 million settlement, through the National Vaccine Compensation Program, on behalf of a child that suffered injuries as a result of routine vaccination. In just seven years of practice as a personal injury attorney in Tulsa, she has also procured millions of dollars by verdict and settlement on behalf of clients that have suffered injuries as a result of excessive force, wrongful death, dog attacks, and unsafe premises.

Since 2012, Rachel has consistently been recognized as a Rising Star in Super Lawyers® for her professional achievements and industry recognitions.

In addition to the zealous representation of her clients, Rachel volunteers with the Lawyers Fighting Hunger Spring and Thanksgiving Drives which have fed, and continue to feed, thousands of families across Oklahoma. She is on the Board of Directors for Iron Gate, Tulsa’s largest stand-alone soup kitchen and food pantry with the mission to feed the hungry and homeless of Tulsa every day. Rachel also volunteers with Tulsa Lawyers for Children (TLC), which works to ensure quality legal representation of Oklahoma’s abused and neglected children.
