What Others are Saying

Rebecca expertly guided me through the divorce process with dedication and compassion. As a highly skilled negotiator, she was able to strategize for the best possible outcome while considering multiple scenarios. Rebecca was professional, responsive and thoughtful. I was more than grateful to have her in my corner!”

-Melinda, Client

Rebecca was asked to take over my custody case mid-stream and she was great. She listened to me and really heard what I was saying, set realistic expectations and explained her methods and reasoning. I was very hands-on with my case and Rebecca worked well with me. I felt very well represented both in negotiations and in the courthouse.”

-Alex, Client

I felt well-ushered throughout the project, and walked away feeling confident and covered, knowing my wishes will be well-represented when the time comes to implement [my estate plan].”

-Kathy, Client
