About Rebecca
Biography
I grew up in Maryland and am proud to be a first generation lawyer in my family. I really enjoy helping people. The greatest part of my job is taking someone who is scared, distraught, and sometimes even desperate and helping to give them peace and control. My clients regularly tell me they feel so much better after their first consultation with me, because I believe in sitting down with them, and figuring out a plan of action to address their particular problem right from the start. As a partner at Hirsch and Cosca, it is my responsibility to set the tone for how clients are treated, and our firm takes great pride in being caring, dynamic, and hard working.
