Posted by Patrick | February 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Service

I hired Rebecca to represent me in my divorce and she did a fabulous job. She took the time to explain the divorce process, provide insight on how to handle my emotions and insure my best interest was first. Another benefit was she did not nickel and dime on fees and was fair in her billing settling ...my case in an acceptable fashion. I would definitely recommend Rebecca for any legal needs.

Great lawyer!!

Rebecca was great! I had a complicated case and she knew exactly what to do. She kept me informed throughout the process. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Rebecca

Outstanding service! Will hire again!

I was very impressed with my experience with Rebecca! I highly recommend her! She was very delightful and personable. Always on top of things and made sure I was prepared and went over everything! When she first represented me in court I was blown away! You won't be disappointed! I was happy with m...y end results in court and I couldn't of got them without her being there and representing me!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
