Excellent, professional, efficient

I would highly recommend Rebecca Zemmelman for your legal family needs. She shepherded our adoption case in quick order with no issues, and she did it with a positive attitude that went a long way.

Amazing Work

I had shared parenting through Hamilton County for the past 8 years, give or take. My son was at my house one weekend and had explained some things going on at his Mothers that I didn't know about. I started to Google for custody lawyers and Rebecca's name came up with great reviews. Within 48 hours ...of making initial contact with her, I hired her and we were in front of a magistrate for the first of two emergency custody hearings. I left that day with emergency custody and the following week I had interim emergency custody. We had everything in place as far as evidence against my sons mother, so until the trial started we worked on evidence to help myself. Rebecca had binders for everyone involved in testifying, color coated for the magistrate and made sure my sons best interest was taken care of. Shared parenting can not just be stopped, it has to be looked at by a couple different points of views. Rebecca argued both points and used an existing case still ongoing. She steadily stayed on top of getting any information we needed that I could not get myself, even after subpoenas were sent. I would definitely recommend Rebecca and will more than likely using her service for my wife and stepdaughter as well. Thank you Rebecca, and Essig & Evans.

Shared Parenting - Seriously the Best Lawyer

Rebecca is one of a kind. We faced a lot of challenges with the opposing party as we attempted to settle a shared parenting plan for our 7YO son (they refused to attend settlement conferences, her counsel's communication was at times nonexistent, and there was unfortunately a long backlog of cases th...e magistrate could see). We ended up working with Rebecca for over a year. Despite the challenges, we always knew we were in excellent hands. Rebecca consistently went above and beyond, made herself available after-hours (even on her vacation!), provided guidance on the process, and counseled us on priorities. It was our first attorney relationship and it was not what we expected - in a positive way. Rebecca felt like an extension of our family. She was equally as passionate about our priorities and resolving the case; she was patient with the opposing party's counsel, despite how unreasonable and frustrating they were. She knew the best approach to take and it played out in our favor. Rebecca consulted her peers when necessary and kept the long-term goal in site. I can't say enough good things. She is genuinely a wonderful person. In what can appear to be a cerebral profession to someone not in the field, she's brings a genuine and human approach to her work. That's not to say she isn't stern and strong in front of opposing counsel. While we don't hope to ever have to be back in court over this matter, I wouldn't blink an eye before calling Rebecca.

Custody of Grandson

Ms. Zemmelman assisted us in getting custody of our grandson. My daughter and her husband had their son removed from their home by CPS. It was a very stressful and emotional time for my husband and I. Rebecca was very knowledgeable and explained exactly what was happening every step of the way. W...ith her assistance we now have custody of our 10 month old grandson. We are very thankful for her help and would highly recommend her.

My Hero

Rebecca Zemmelman is an outstanding attorney. I valued her ability to see things with an open mind. She was very resourceful and solved my situation without it needing to go to trial. Her perseverance and perspectives are off the chart. This women is definitely the last of a dying breed. Not only di...d she take the time to know me personally but she also took time to know my children. I never felt my family feel so protected before until I met this very unique and rare lady. Hands down she did an exceptional job and well beyond the call of duty. If looking to have outstanding representation and all worries put to rest i personally refer Rebecca Zemmelman to hired as your attorney. She is a perfect example of making families great again. Thank You so much for your kindness and your work. I dont think they invented a word for how happy I am with everything you done for me. Stay Blessed and Thank You once again.
