Best of the Best

When I met Rebecca Simms my husband and I had already had a bad experience with other attorneys and was basically told we had little chance of winning a custody case. From the moment we sat with her, shared our story, reviewed our potential case, we knew she was the one to help us through what would... be a four year battle for justice. Rebecca quickly proved herself to be impassioned, dedicated, and brilliant. Never for a moment did she let us think we might not win, and the odds were definitely stacked against us. When things looked bleak she assured us with confidence. For those years we worked together as a team, she gave us extraordinary support and attention, treating us, our case, as if we were her sole focus. She always had time for us, and we never waited more than a day for a response to any question. She put her heart and soul into this case. So many moments felt like divine intervention as she put the team of experts into place, but it was her hard work and determination that kept us moving forward. We won permanent custody that led to adoption because of her, her shear expertise and instincts. I know the outcome of our case could not have happened with anyone else, and I am eternally grateful. I have, and will continue to, recommend Rebecca first and foremost to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Great Lawyer

Mrs. Simms helped us with our adoption. She was professional, knowledgable, flexible and responded quickly. We were very happy with her services and would highly recommend her to others.

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.
