Great Lawyer

Rebecca has been irreplaceable in helping me feel protected and heard throughout family court proceedings. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are comfortable and understand all next steps with exceptional communication. She is a fierce advocate for her clients and I genuinely don't ...know how I would have gotten through the process without her.

Highly Recommend

When my wife and I needed an attorney to help us navigate a challenging legal custody issue, I set up an intake meeting with Rebecca Zemmelman at The Family Law and Fertility Law Group. Having gone to school with Rebecca almost a decade ago, I knew her to be brilliant, reliable, and empathetic, with ...a profound ability to make even the most complex concepts seem approachable. I figured that if her professional brand was anything like her personal reputation, I'd be in good shape. (I was correct.) As a client, it was clear to me that Rebecca possesses a highly sophisticated knowledge of the law and a nuanced understanding of both the formal procedures the informal practices relied upon in the court where she practices. As our attorney, Rebecca was able to move us quickly towards a resolution by proactively identifying and mitigating potential procedural hurdles. When faced with less foreseeable obstacles, both procedural and factual, Rebecca readily adapted to new information to ensure that we were able to continue moving forward without delay. It is more than just her technical knowledge that makes Rebecca such an effective attorney. Through her client centered approach to practice, Rebecca ensured that we always felt informed, empowered, and supported. Not only was Rebecca was transparent about the full scope of our options, she patiently helped us weigh the risks and benefits associated with any given path forward. Her clear communication, paired with thoughtful and thorough responses to the many questions we asked, allowed us to know and understand exactly what was happening at every stage of our case. With this kind of case, there are (we learned) a lot of different stakeholders, with a range of seemingly conflicting and overlapping interests. With Rebecca representing us, however, we never had to doubt that our voices would be heard by the court. By working directly with the attorneys of the many interested parties, Rebecca took what could have been a hugely contentious case and turned it into a collaborative effort to support the best interest of an incredibly special kid.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Rebecca Zemmelman is an absolute amazing lawyer and person. Caring, kind, intelligent, professional and really all you could ever ask for when looking to be represented. From the very first moment of speaking with each other she was on it. Broke down everything with me and we went over everything tog...ether and made sure we both were on the same page and understood all there was to know on both sides. I honestly could not have asked for a better attorney and person to help with my custody case. Whenever I needed council, had a question or was ever confused about something, Rebecca was there to help. She always made a point to make sure we were always on the same page so to speak and most definitely handled my case the way I wanted it to be handled. With care, class and professionalism. Again, she is the absolute best!

Wonderful experience

Rebecca was there to answer our questions and reassure us regarding the adoption process. We appreciated that she took the extra time to make sure we understood the procedures.

Excellent

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.
