Compassionate and Supportive

I am so grateful for all Rebecca did to facilitate my dissolution. Not only was she professional and knowledgable, she went the extra mile to make sure I was doing well too. I am very thankful for her kindness and genuine care.

Guardian Angel!!

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.

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.

Hire her.

Rebecca treated my case with utmost sensitivity and patience as we worked through a divorce process. She worked to protect me and my assets every step of the way. She responded with calm, clarity, and compassion when raw emotions clouded my judgment and the situation. I enthusiastically recommend ...Rebecca should you find yourself in this or any other legal situation where you require expertise, finesse, and attention to detail.
