Excellent Lawyer!!

Rebecca was amazing. We had a complicated situation with my father and she was professional, compassionate, responsive and helpful. I highly recommend her and her services.

BEST FAMILY LAW LAWYER

Rebecca is the best family law attorney I've ever encountered. She's very personable and goes out of her way to accommodate any situation that came up during my custody case. Any question I asked of her; she came with the answer within the same hour or at the most the same day. Preparing for court is... always a lot to deal with but she is so prompt and tedious to the smallest of details that no question went unanswered in court. She communicated with me EVERY step of the way. No matter if it was late at night or early in the morning. Even when she was out of the office she still managed to fit my life into hers. I am very appreciative and grateful to have such a professional lawyer like her standing beside me in court! The compassion and empathy she showed for me (a single mother going through a divorce and custody battle) was BEAUTIFUL! She changed my life and my childrens lives. Fighting in court is very stressful. The way Rebecca Zimmerman moves through the court room and fought for us is everything I could've ever asked for & more in an attorney. She's the BEST and I say that with the most confidence because I've dealt with quite a few family law lawyers in the Richmond area and none of them even compare to the type of attorney she is. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you've done for us ‼️

Knowledgeable, understanding, professional… exceptional attorney!

Words do not express my gratitude for the skill and professionalism with which Rebecca handled my case. Throughout my divorce and custody battle Rebecca was easily accessible, patient and extremely knowledgeable about my case. She explained everything to me clearly, and always made me feel like a pri...ority. She truly cared about my case and she worked tirelessly to produce a positive outcome for myself and my children. Rebecca remained calm and seemed to think of everything during settlement discussions with opposing counsel and a deposition of my ex-husband that was (to say the least) tense. Going through a divorce and custody battle was the hardest thing I’ve ever endured, and I don’t know how I would have survived it without Rebecca’s compassion and guidance. She tells you everything you need to know, kindly and with your best interests in mind every time. If you find yourself in need of an excellent family law attorney, I highly recommend Rebecca Zimmerman.

Highly Recommendable Attorney

Rebecca was excellent! She assisted me after my daughters dad took me to court for a visitation schedule. She provided great legal guidance as well as ensuring we had a very detailed visitation order taking into consideration my daughter's needs and feelings. I have never had to seek legal help and s...he did an amazing job at explaining everything to me as far as the process, legal fees, set realistic expectations and ensuring I got the end result I wanted that would most benefit my daughter. She was extremely responsive, courteous and definitely made me feel secure through out the entire process. Reaching her was never a problem and she always had an answer for me. She even went off on Maternity Leave and her entire team she works with made sure I was taken care of. Upon her return i heard right back from her and I would highly recommend her. I appreciate all the help she provided!
