Rebekah E. Heilman

Rebekah E. Heilman is a New Jersey family law attorney at Petrelli Previtera, LLC, serving clients across New Jersey in divorce, custody and complex family matters. With nearly two decades in the law, her background spans appellate practice, public defense, service as a Deputy Attorney General and court administration, which gives her a well-rounded view of how family cases actually move through the system.

Rebekah believes a well-informed client is an empowered client. She takes time to explain not just what is happening in a case, but why, so clients can make decisions about their future with real information in hand. Her appellate work shapes how she prepares for trial, and she is known for meticulous case preparation and persuasive legal writing.

She is also an adjunct professor at Kean University, where she teaches Negotiation Strategies and Conflict Resolution. Born and raised in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Rebekah has lived in New Jersey since law school and now lives in Monmouth County, where she serves on the board of and volunteers for Freehold Area Open Door, a nonprofit food pantry serving more than 5,000 families a month.
