Kind and easy to work with

Rebecca and her colleague, Jen, handled our divorce case. She referred us to a great mediator and afterward managed all of the documents for the court. She guided us step-by-step through the process and made what seemed difficult and overwhelming very easy and uncomplicated. It could not have gone be...tter and we were lucky to have them.

Innovative Law Services

I highly recommended Innovative Law Services Firm for people that are seeking a professional, detail orientation, and follow through service. Rebecca and Jennifer have been helping me significantly with difficult divorce process. Even after the divorce is final, they both still offer similar manner ...of professionalism. Rebecca is very compassionate and listens to her client’s concern. She is always there for her client whenever her client needs her advice. Together with Jenn, they both make a great team!

Thank you, Rebecca

Rebecca helped guide me through a difficult divorce a very tumultuous time in my life when everything seemed to be falling apart. She continuously kept the big picture in perspective. She and her assistant/sister Jen are sweethearts. They were supportive and encouraging throughout the entire pr...ocess and kept me focused on what really mattered. They enabled me to stop getting distracted by the minutia, focus on studying for (and passing) boards, keeping the cost of divorce affordable, and maintaining my personal dignity. She helped me rise-above my ex's manipulative techniques-- and on the rare occasion when he took his intimidation tactics too far, she served as my advocate/guardian angel-- making sure I felt safe and protected by the law. Rebecca is a calming breath of fresh air. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her during this process. She has excels at what she does and has a tremendous gift when it comes to working with people/understanding the law. Rebecca maintains a calming and positive presence, despite having to deal with difficult people on a daily basis. Her energy is contagious and her outlook on life is inspiring. Thank you , Rebecca & Jen, for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm forever grateful to you wonderful ladies.

Exceptional lawyer, handles tough cases well

Rebecca is a one of a kind lawyer who will work tirelessly for a good outcome. She was able to help me with a high conflict situation, finding non- confrontational ideas that worked well for both parties. She is incredibly innovative, helping me on many occasions to find solutions when other lawye...rs had thrown up their hands in defeat. If you care about your children, as well as the best way to handle a divorce without creating unnecessary rancor and damage, look no further than Rebecca Tooman. Your children and even your spouse, will likely thank you one day for handling this most painful of life experiences with dignity and fairness. Thank you Rebecca!

Capable and Caring

I appreciated Rebecca handling my divorce case. I was a mess and she was very patient with me. She gave me a folder with everything I needed laid out for me to follow in step by step order; something that was extremely helpful. Rebecca was knowledgeable and fair; she knew what was important to me ...and explained how she was going to go about getting me what I wanted most. She answered my calls in a timely fashion. I can't say enough about the treatment I received from her.
