Best decision I made during my separation & divorce

Rebecca made me feel comfortable from our first meeting. She cares about her clients in a way I didn't expect. Divorce is an emotional time in anyone's life. Rebecca was always there to listen and provide sound guidance. Her experience and guidance helped me remendously during mediation...to make... smart decisions on issues that would impact my life in the long term. She was and is just wonderful!

Rock Star Attorney and Firm

Rebecca was referred to me almost 2 years ago by BDO Sideman. While on Active Duty, my wife filed for divorce after 29 years of marriage. As you can imagine, I was devastated. After speaking with Rebecca, she explained her years of experience and unique approach to representing her clients. I was ...convinced that her firm was the right one to represent me through an almost 2 year long divorce. Along the way, she helped me to understand the Serviceman’s Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and the Federal laws that we could apply throughout this process. Her team approach to representing me is truly innovative allowing me to take advantage of resources in her organization without having to pay higher rates when not needed. A huge Bravo Zulu to Rebecca and her team of outstanding people. Thank you Rebecca!

Exceptional attorney

I first met with Rebecca when I was interviewing attorneys for my divorce. I was particularly interested in the collaborative divorce process. Of the five attorneys I interviewed, Rebecca was the only one who took the appropriate amount of time to understand me, my situation, and my concerns. Once sh...e had an understanding of my specific situation, she carefully detailed the process. At that point, I knew she had a keen understanding of the process and of my needs. Once I hired Rebecca, she worked very well with the members of the collaborative team, including opposing counsel. She helped make a very difficult, emotional and painful situation as smooth and seamless as possible. While the divorce process is never easy, I look back on the process as a learning and growing experience and I have Rebecca to thank for much of that.
