About Rebecca
Biography
I was on Western Kentucky's Forensics Team (speech and debate) where I honed my love of research and writing. From there, I spent a year with a law firm before actually attending law school. During law school, I externed with a local family judge and decided this was the area of practice for me. I only pracitce family law and primarily practice in Jefferson and Oldham Counties. When I am not practicing law, I spend time with my husband and sons, play co-ed softball, and cook.
