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.

Great choice for an attorney

Rebecca has been very thorough and helped put my mind at ease with everything! She was very friendly and very easy to talk to! Rebecca has given me great advice on what she thinks would be best to do throughout my case. I will be recommending Rebecca to anyone I know in need of an attorney!

Great experience!

Rebecca was fantastic to work with! She helped us throughout the whole process and was very knowledgeable. Even during the shut down due to the coronavirus, she still was able to help us navigate through the adoption process.

Amazing to work with!

Rebecca is very knowledgeable about the law surrounding families. We put our trust in her and she did not disappoint! I would recommend contacting her for her services if they are needed. We used the services for a step parent adoption.
