A "PitBull" to represent you!

My case was a long and grueling case, however Rebecca stood in the for me and represented me until the very end. I didnt feel condifident as a father in the courtroom honestly. Rebecca reassured me that us fathers have a chance at getting what we want and what we need when it pertains to a relationsh...ip with our children. If you need a "go-getter" in the courtroom, I would highly suggest her.

Most knowledgeable attorney I have ever met

An absolute fighter in the courtroom. Actually knows the law and applies it to the facts of the case as well. Has a breadth of knowledge that is unfortunately very rare in the field these days. Highly recommended.

A great attorney

Retaining Rebecca McLaws is the reason i have my family today. I hired her for my divorce and custody case. At the time in which she was retained, my actions had put her in a tough place for a successful pleading. I had been fighting in court for years with my now ex-husband. His attempts to keep... my two young boys away from me were vindictive and unrelenting. His abuse carried from every aspect of the marriage onto the divorce. He knew my weaknesses and my past all of which he used to against me. He had manipulated the system and used my extensive criminal history due to my addiction to his full advantage. It was Rebecca's offensive actions that finally put an end to his schemes and won for me full custody of my children. She is smart and more importantly has a firm grasp of the law and was able to combat my husbands team that had beaten other lawyers I had hired. I am very grateful to Rebecca and appreciate all her help.

A+++ Divorce Attorney

When I first met Rebecca she was going to law school and working as a paralegal for the attorney I hired to represent me in my divorce. It didn't take long to realize that Rebecca was the brains of the operation. She kept everything flowing, doing most of the work, and helped me keep my head at the... same time. After my divorce was finalized I had trouble collecting the settlement from my ex. By now Rebecca had switched law firms and it was very clear that with her gone it was time for me to switch law firms too. My lawyer was completely ineffective without her. It took some effort to track her down, but it was well worth it. With her back on the case I finally got some results. Rebecca is highly intelligent, an outside the box thinker, and very aggressive in defending and protecting her client. She also has the unique ability to be empathetic and compassionate which is important when you are going through the worst time of your life. I would and do strongly recommend Rebecca to anyone in need of an attorney.

"I have known Rebecca for nearly 15 years now. I first met her when she was a paralegal at a established law firm in Marietta. I quickly learned that her knowledge of family law actually exceeded that of many of the actual attorneys in the firm. I suspect she knew this to be true as well, which is why she heard her calling to go to law school and earn her law degree. Althought she only recently earned her law degree, Rebecca has been an outstanding attorney for over 15 years. Her knowledge of the law and integrity is extraordinary and I am proud to have her as a fellow member of this profession."
