Client

If you need a qualified attorney, I highly recommend Rebecca Zimmelman. She is an exceptional lawyer for any family law needs. I hired Rebecca for a custody/child support issue. Rebecca was always honest and upfront. It might not have been what or the way I wanted things to go but I knew the fac...ts and never felt unprepared. She is very knowledgeable in her field and always prepared me for what to expect. Rebecca was responsive and took the time to answer questions and concerns throughout my entire court proceedings.

Cincinnati Adoption Finalization Success

We hired Rebecca for the finalization of our daughter's adoption last year in Ohio, and we'd highly recommend using her for this purpose or any other. We were told that it was mostly just a paperwork thing on her end since we didn't need her to file for ICPC (we were New York residents at the time), ...but I think it ended up being more than that for her in the end, unfortunately. We learned later on that our adoption agency was a nightmare to get a hold of, took numerous back and forths to get information Rebecca needed, and had a number of delays with filings with her and the court. Rebecca knew that we had a tight timeline with a move coming up, and thanks her persistence, relationship with the court, and great communication skills we were able to keep our date for finalization, even though our agency took their time the whole way. Rebecca was a pleasure to work with, and she even hung around to help take pictures after the hearing!

Recommendation

We hired Rebecca to represent us for our private adoption. She was so warm, knowledgeable and attentive - and walked us through exactly what we needed to know and when. When our big day before the judge arrived, we felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Couldn't recommend her more!

Excellent Attorney!!!!

Rebecca helped me tremendously with custody and parenting time modification with my son. She was very easy to work with and knew when we needed to be more aggressive and when it was best to just sit back and wait. The resolution was very much to our liking. She was professional, knowledgeable an...d dedicated to receiving the best outcome. I would highly recommend Rebecca.

Those hero doesn't wear a cape

I'm not sure where to begin. My wife and I struggled for weeks looking for a family attorney for our custody battle and eventual adoption of my step daughter. We told Rebecca our story and to our surprise, she listened. Every other attorney we spoke to, either said just give up or find a different at...torney. Rebecca took all of the information we gave her and our custody battle began. She prepped us thoroughly and gave us the confidence we needed. Judgment on our behalf! After that, we moved to the adoption phase. Again, Rebecca made things extremely simple. Albeit, lots of time and information was needed. Fast forward to our best interest hearing. We all gathered and when we were called in, Rebecca spoke introducing all of us. She asked questions to each of us that covered everything and more. The judge decided that not only was the adoption in the best interest, but that she was going ahead and finalizing the adoption! We absolutely couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Rebecca. We truly won't be able to thank you enough!!
