Review Rebecca Baer

Classy and Diligent Representation

Posted by

I was fortunate enough to have Rebecca as an attorney for a few years. She represented my family with care and respect, particularly once she understood the dynamics of the situation well enough to see clearly through what was often a mire of lies and deception by the opposing council and their client. I am thankful for Rebecca's legal support through the most difficult of times, and recommend her expertise wholeheartedly to anyone who would like to be represented by an attorney who consistently acts in an upright manner. If your case is about parental rights, you can rest assured that Rebecca will consistently place the best interest of the child(ren) first, and if you are like me, that will put your mind at ease when leaning on her council.

I was referred to Rebecca by a friend who hired her to assist with divorce and child custody matters. My friend could not say enough about how Rebecca made the entire process so much easier for her and in her words "Rebecca made me stronger and helped me have the backbone to stand up for myself". I took my friend's recommendation and now have worked with Rebecca on two separate occasions to make modifications to my parenting plan and custody agreement. Rebecca is professional, sharp and always made me feel as though she truly was on my side and cared about doing right by my children and I. I can't imagine going through the process without her by my side and would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking counsel on family matters.

Rebecca has worked with me for several years with my case! During a time in my life I felt hopeless and lost she was always there to help guide and steer me in the right direction! She made me feel like she cared deeply for my situation and I was not alone in the fight. I couldn't be more grateful for all the hard work and time she dedicated to my case. Highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly use her services in the future again if need be. You are in good hands!!

I hired Rebecca for my Divorce. She heard and understood my Challenges for the Divorce and took effective measures to deescalate and resolve it amicably but the other party wont listen. Rebecca was professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I recommend her.

Child Custody and Divorce Lawyer

Rebecca was referred to me by two separate previous clients of hers. I went in there already feeling confident in her ability and was not disappointed in this case. It was a sensitive and difficult matter for me to address and Rebecca was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. We were successful in the end and I would highly recommend Rebecca Baer if anyone is struggling to protect and safeguard their children's well being.

Best choice we made was to hire Rebecca!

Our step-parent adoption was a tricky situation. Rebecca was there every step of the way providing valuable guidance, advice and always answering every question with verified facts, clear mind and professional yet friendly responses. We met with her FAR in advance of when we finally decided to proceed and her patience and explaining of the process was superb! I would highly recommend her!!!!!!

Rebecca helped me through a difficult divorce and many difficult child custody factors. She was not just a lawyer but also a huge support and I would not have made it through the last year without her! She dealt with difficult opposing counsel with grace and humor. The documents drawn up for separation, custody, and divorce were perfectly worded and covered all the legal bases that I didn't even know I needed to think of. She was quick to respond to any help or advice I needed and was with me every step of the way. I simply cannot recommend Rebecca enough!

I have no hesitation recommending Ms. Baer to anyone looking for an effective family law advocate.

C Jensen, Family Attorney on Feb 22, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have worked with Rebecca on a rather contentious and unsettling post-decree matter. Through all our interactions, Rebecca maintained steadfast advocacy with diligence, compassion, and professionalism.

Danae Woody, Divorce and separation Attorney on Oct 26, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Rebecca is a strong advocate for her clients and also looks out for what's best for the children involved in her cases. Her approach is positive and refreshing. Rebecca is a valuable attorney to have on board. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer.

William King, Family Attorney on Oct 12, 2016

Rebecca is a wonderful attorney to work with, and I endorse her skills as they relate to her collaborative divorce law practice.

Lisa Frigo, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 31, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I had the privilege of working with Rebecca on an APR matter, and had a great experience with her as opposing counsel. She communicated effectively, always responded to me in a timely manner, and was just all-around pleasant to work with. I truly appreciated the professionalism she displayed at all times. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone seeking help in the family law arena, and look forward to working with her again.

David Littman, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 25, 2016
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

Rebecca is a senior associate in our firm. I have had the pleasure of working with her for almost three years. She is exceptionally well prepared as she does her homework necessary to understand both her clients' needs and the applicable law. She is impressive in her courtroom demeanor as she relates well with judges and magistrates. Her ability to help her clients tell their stories is top notch. When she much cross examine the opposing party or a witness, she quickly and decisively is able to bring out the weakness in the other side's case. Her strong focus on problem solving for her clients, helps them to avoid the stress and uncertainty of court when this is possible. I do not hesitate to refer our clients to Rebecca in any divorce or family law matters.

Andy Goertzel, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 25, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Rebecca was the opposing counsel in a recent case of mine. I found her to be straight forward, smart and a zealous advocate for her client. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking counsel in a family law matter.

Erica Jacobson

I worked with Rebecca on opposing sides of a post-decree case. She was a strong advocate for her client, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody seeking a family law attorney.

Zachary Smith, Divorce and separation Attorney on May 4, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have had the privilege of knowing Becky for almost ten years and wholeheartedly recommend her as a family law attorney. I practice almost exclusively in family law, and very much appreciate other attorneys who take a realistic, intelligent, and compassionate approach to cases, which Becky certainly does. If I knew someone in Colorado who was in need of legal help, I'd refer them to Ms. Baer without hesitation.

Phillip Geigle, Criminal defense Attorney on May 3, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Having been opposing counsel with Rebecca, I saw first-hand the competence and professionalism that she displayed. I don't hesitate to refer questions and cases to her, and wholeheartedly recommend her any individual seeking assistance in a domestic proceeding.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Rebecca is intelligent, compassionate toward her clients and well respected among her peers. I highly recommend Rebecca for any family law matter.
