Rachel Klubeck grew up in Norman, OK where she later graduated from OU and the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2018. While in law school, Rachel made the Dean’s Honor Roll and earned her certification from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, Division of Pediatrics, in Child Abuse & Neglect. ‍Rachel interned for the Oklahoma County District Attorney Special Victim’s Unit in 2015, and then for the State of Nevada’s top family law firm, Kainen Law Group, PLLC, in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2016 where she witnessed the legalization of recreational cannabis across the State of Nevada.

Nearly the same time Rachel passed the bar exam in 2018, the passage of SQ788 took place legalizing medical marijuana in Oklahoma. Rachel subsequently launched the concepts of Loud Consulting and Loud Legal PLLC - a consulting firm and law firm specializing in all things cannabis.

In 2020, her article “Waste Not Want Not” about cannabis waste was published in the first ever medical marijuana edition of the Oklahoma Bar Journal (March 2020), making her one of the youngest solo-published attorneys in OBJ history at age 27.

In 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Rachel was awarded the Super Lawyers Rising Star for cannabis law – a distinction only 2.5% of Oklahoma attorneys accomplish. Early this year, she joined a criminal defense firm where she practiced in downtown OKC to gain experience and better serve her clients, and has since returned back to solo practice.
