Outstanding Service

Mrs. Emmons has served our company for many years with outstanding support and professionalism. As all businesses we run into challenges from time to time. She has helped us numerous times to navigate through the legal aspects that we faced. We are extremely thankful to have a talent available to us ...with Mrs. Emmons!

One of the Best and Brightest

Ms. Emmons is not only my personal attorney, but I always rely on her for matters arising in my business. The real estate business has become more and more detailed and complicated over time, and Ms. Emmons always makes the time to take my calls, and more importantly she provides good, sound advice ...and counsel for pressing questions needing a legal opinion, whether they are complicated or more simple and straight forward. I have complete faith in her guidance, and that is why I ask her to handle all of my legal issues, both personal and professional.

Knowledgeable and Professional

Attorney Emmons handled multiple real estate transactions for us recently including property splits, sales and purchases. She was great with communicating any issues that arose and handling them quickly so as not to cause any delays. We gladly recommend her.

Working with Veterans

My veterans have employed Rebecca on numerous occasions ranging from a simple will to a complicated trust. Not only has she produced a superb document but she has discounted her rates for those veterans who could not afford an attorney. On one occasion, she had to do research on a veteran who died w...ithout a will and no known next of kin. Through her diligent efforts, she found a daughter living in France when all standard investigators were unable to produce a next of kin. This kind of effort is typical of her performance for the veterans I have referred to her care. I trust her implicitly and highly recommend her.

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.

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.
