About Rebeca

Biography

Let Us Be Your Voice- In legal proceedings, it is important to have qualified and knowledgeable representation. This is especially crucial in immigration, where notarios (public notaries who have no legal training or authority) often try to offer advice unlawfully and at great harm to you!

UNDECIDED

ALTHOUGH SHE IS A GREAT AT BEING KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT THE LAW; SHE SEEMS TO BE MORE ABOUT THE MONEY THEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE CASE/CLIENT. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER IF THE CLIENT HAS $$$ IF NOT SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE HELPFUL.

Posted by Shirley | April 19, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Pésimos valores, solo quiere presionar con dinero

Siempre presiona con acuerdos de dinero y por el más mínimo retraso o desacuerdo en alguna diferencia toma medidas extremas claramente ella siempre obteniendo el beneficio. Nada de confianza ojo cuidado

Sra Shirley, Lo siento que te sientas de esta manera. Entiendo que es frustrante pagar mensualmente, pero es una servicio que estamos offreciendo (sin intereses) por un trabajo bastante dificil. Imigracion hace dificil el proceso que la gente se den por vencidos, pero nosotros siempre persegimos, incistimos a lado de nuestros clientes para que tengan el mejor beneficio. Le deseamos lo mejor.

Estimada Sra. Fannery, Es difícil para entender la inmensa complejidad de un proceso legal. Nuestro equipo preparó todo para protegerla y lo necesario con la corte en 48 horas. Aunque hubo un cambio de opinión de su parte, eso lamentablemente no puede pasar por alto la cantidad de trabajo que nuestro equipo dedicó a luchar por usted. Se le cobró una tarifa justa por todo el esfuerzo y trabajo realizado en tan poco tiempo. El contrato que firmo era claro con respecto a la tarifa fija y que no se daría ningún reembolso. A pesar de eso, todavía se le emitió un monto reembolsado. Aunque el trabajo entre nosotros ha llegado a su fin, todavía le deseamos todo lo mejor en su futuro. espero que usted mira bien y cambiar su opinión. Con cuidado.

AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

This lawyer was not good for me and my children. She promised things she DID NOT deliver what she promised she would. I would not recommend her to anyone because she is greedy and awful. She told me that I would win lots of money and then I didn't and then she took my children's monies to live from ...the settlement because she lost and lied to me. She is not a good attorney who only cares about herself.

Dear Anonymous: It always saddens me when I see these random and nameless comments as I wonder if they are true and it deprives me the opportunity to try and resolve what must be a miscommunication. I am sorry if you truly were a client of our office. Our firm does not "win" money, nor do we ever work on percentages. What we always do, for every client, is present their case in the most ethical manner possible. The outcome is always in the Judges hands and often times both parties are displeased, especially in divorce when emotions are on edge. Still, if you were our client, please do call and speak to me directly so that we can work to help resolve some of your confusion.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
