Personalized experience

My husband and I were extremely impressed with Rebecca's down to earth approach as well with her keeping us up to date on the court proceedings. It was stressful enough during COVID and she make the experience seamless. She not only walked us through the adoption hearing but also what we needed to do... after the adoption. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a Family attorney.

Best adoption lawyer in town

We were dealing with a very complicated stepchild adoption. I have a lot of respect for Rebecca Zemmelman. Even before taking on the case she was so thorough and did extensive research to ensure that she did not take on a case that she would not have been able to help with. She was always very profes...sional and timely. She was always to warm and pleasant that we felt very comfortable with her. She is very knowledgeable and we trusted her expertise. In the end, we had a favorable outcome. Our family was blessed by working with her.

Competent and Kind

I hired Ms. Zemmelman for my divorce. She was very knowledgeable and efficient. She did not waste billable hours and was able to provide me with both legal and strategic advise. My case was rather unique and she was able to not only research but also consult with her network to gain insight. She is ...extremely kind and thorough. Her paralegal is extremely experienced and easy to get in contact with at any time. I highly recommend Rebecca in any divorce, especially one including children or special circumstances.

Out of state adoption

Another attorney referred Rebecca for her experience with out of state adoptions. From the first time I spoke to Rebecca, she helped put me at ease. She was very knowledgeable and diligent throughout the whole process; staying connected with us, which was very reassuring We knew we could count on h...er to follow through and guide us. I highly recommend Rebecca.

Step-Parent Adoption

I would definitely recommend Rebecca Zemmelman for any case she is willing to accept and if given the option I would rehire her again. Zemmelman was able to secure the outcome that I wanted and was upfront with all obstacles that I may encounter along the way. Not only is Zemmelman an exceptional law...yer she is knowledgable and passionate about fighting for her clients. She is young and fresh and you can tell that she loves what she does and cares about the outcomes of her cases and is willing to fight to get what she wants. On several occasions in my case Zemmelman was put in a stressful situation by another professional that would have rattled anyone else but she was able to remain calm and collected and turn the situation to our favor. I would highly recommend Zemmelman for any complicated adoption case. Not only did she anticipate the next step but also planned for step 3, 4, 5 and 6. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for your best outcome, is highly professional, intelligent and driven she is the one to hire. Her rates are fair, reasonable and clearly spelled out. I would recommend her to my friends and family and I would hire her again. Thank you, hope this helps on your journey!

Avvo Rating

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.
