"Having worked in the area of adoption law for 33 years, I have had several occasions to work directly with Rebecca. She is extremely competent and experienced and as important, add a very high level of compassion for everyone involved. Assisting with adoptions involves the very highest level of emotions. Rebecca does a remarkable job of helping everyone manage their personal emotions while maintaining the highest standards of diligence and ethics. I love working with Rebecca and look forward to many more opportunities going forward."
