Rebecca Ann Zemmelman

Rebecca did a wonderful job for me . A child custody case of my 2 grandsons. It was a little more difficult than most. My daughter was killed in a car accident on Columbia Parkway in Nov of 2020. The father of the boys decided he wanted them. He also hired a attorney a good one I might add. I will sa...y it made me nervous. Rebecca did a great job with representing me. I will say I was very anxious at times . The outcome was great , she represented me very professional but with compassion and letting me know I will be ok. I would recommend her most definitely.

Because of Rebecca, I received the outcome I set out for: Full custody and a massive change to our parenting time schedule (going from 50/50 parenting time to my ex having every other weekend and a mid week dinner)! Rebecca represented me in a post decree modification for change of custody and par...enting time of my two children, ages 8 and 9. My case was quite complex, and my ex husband and I had been involved in and out of the court system for a few years. I agreed to continue shared parenting with my ex because I was fearful of the court's outcome prior to retaining Rebecca as my attorney. My ex husband and I adopted our children as toddlers, and they have had a lot to navigate, coupled with the high conflict divorce situation. Rebecca agreed to take on my active court case, thankfully, because she has made all the difference in the results. From the moment I hired her, I immediately felt like I had an attorney on my side that was ready for the battle to come, and knew that I would be represented strongly in court. My ex and I had tried mediation, with no success. I needed an experienced trial attorney that would take the time to read through the massive amounts of documentation and use it to our benefit. She not only did that, but has far exceeded my expectations in and out of the courtroom setting. She set me up for success from the start with giving great guidance every step of the way to ensure the most important details of my case were brought to the court's attention. Having experience herself as a Guardian Ad Litem, Rebecca helped me understand exactly what I needed to share and communicate with the GAL, which ended up being a very important component of our case. Not only is she knowledgeable and experienced, but she also has an upbeat personality to go along with it, which made me feel so comfortable sharing difficult information with her. I have never experienced anyone who is so dedicated to her clients as Rebecca. I don't know when she sleeps! She is timely in her responses, and is wise with advice well beyond her years. I know that my case was won because of Rebecca's knowledge and expertise. This is one of the most important life decisions to be made, and I'm forever grateful that I put my trust and faith in Rebecca, as she more than came through for us. I have the utmost respect for her.....compassionate and kind, and a strong advocate in court...she fights for what is in the child's best interests. She did for us and she will for you.

We hired Rebecca after a recommendation to help us adopt our niece, whom we had custody of for the last 2.5 years. It ended up being a contested case, but she took the time to make sure we completely understood all of the steps involved and suggested everything we could do and gather to make our case.... We went in more than well prepared and we won! Communication was very easy any time we had a concern or question (which was often), she wouldn't hesitate to answer or explain. Thanks to Rebecca, we now have our forever family that we've been wanting for many years!
