This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Consummate Professional

Rebecca is ethical, very thorough and methodical in the intake process of prospective clients. She sets herself apart from her peers by setting realistic expectations with her potential clients so they understand the relationship they will enter with her. Privilege between client and attorney and str...ategy is emphasized. She is not a flat fee attorney, but remember flat fee attorneys must make a profit and may short you in effort beyond a certain point. She is not a second rate attorney, and she selects her cases. This absolutely necessary because if she believes in the case, her passion becomes a distinct advantage. It was immediately apparent she expected effort on our part, which pays off in the end.

Unfortunate Encounter

Dealing with Mrs. Creel was one of the bigger unfortunate events in my family court dealings. I think if Ms. Creel had been up front and honest that may have changed her being hired but unfortunately she was wasn't and my children and I paid the cost for her lack of attention to duties and the case.

Bedside Manner Could Use Work

Won't ever receive the money or time back that spent in dealing with Mrs. Creel. Pretty unresponsive to most emails unless it's convenient for her it felt like. Just wish I could have gotten out of my dealings sooner rather than later.

Great Lawyer

I had the most amazing experience with Rebecca, considering the circumstances. She made me feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable about the law and very passionate about her job. She told me the truth through the whole process. I feel so much better today and I feel my children received the best rep...resentation that is possible in Columbia.
