Great Lawyer and Great Person

I hired Rebekah's firm for criminal defense of made-up charges (I know, aren't they all??). Rebekah was very responsive and easy to talk to. She was reassuring, yet honest on my options and how to proceed. Following her advice all the charges were thrown out. I would STRONGLY advice you to contac...t Rebekah immediately.

Very patient & sweet

My 2nd dwi case went on for over 2 years and Rebekah was so patient and sweet the entire time. She steered me in the right direction the whole time and I finally ended up winning with a "not guilty" I couldn't be happier with my choice with her as my lawyer! Thanks a million Rebekah and putting up wi...th alllllll my questions

A heavenly blessing

Ms. Rebekah Perlstein is a true blessing to my life. I hired her when my husband had a second DWI. I and my family were in a deep crisis since my husband was not entitled for a bond because his first DWI was a felony. My husband was in jail for 10 days and I never thought he can come home soon. Re...bekah fought for him with her intelligence, experience and above all, compassion and humanity. She gave me and my family good advises from her abundant experience as a public prosecutor and as a criminal defense lawyer. She was very compassionate and optimistic from the very beginning, and she was never judgmental. She will be always on your side and work for your best. She did an amazing job in helping me to go through the difficult situation. She explained me what exactly I and my family have to do for the best of my husband. I am amazed by her promptness in answering phone messages, texts, and emails. She has” Great “interpersonal skills. She is very reasonable and understanding in case of finances. She is very friendly and very professional. I strongly recommend her to anyone who looking for a defense attorney who can work for them. I am highly obliged to her.

A True Blessing!

Rebekah Perlstein and Scott Palmer were truly a blessing to me when I was arrested for a DWI with a child under the age of 15 in the car which carries a felony charge and mandatory jail time. Both Rebekah and Scott realized that there were extenuating circumstances in my case and went above and beyo...nd what any other attorneys would have for me and my children. You see I am a single mother of two and there was no way that I could serve any jail time. I also hold degrees and certifications in fields where a felony would have destroyed any possibility for my ability to provide for my children. Both Rebekah and Scott were there for be in the very beginning all the way to the end of my case holding my hand and protecting me through the entire process. Never having been in trouble my entire life, I was terrified for myself and how it would affect my children. I had their emails, work phone numbers, and cell phone numbers that were given to me directly from them, and trust me I used them. They were there for me no matter the time of day or night and responded immediately. With their constant reassurance and straight forward approach that they have with their clients; I knew I would be okay. When all was said and done, we reached a plea agreement of a Class B Misdemeanor – with 2 year probation, fines, and a few classes my case was closed. I would highly recommend either Rebekah and/or Scott to anyone that is facing an uphill battle, need someone to fight and protect your rights, and need a “friend” that will be by your side through the process no matter who you are.

Good lawyer

Our lawyer always kept us up to date with what was going on with the case. She kept informing us of things that needed to be submitted in a timely manner. We were always able to reach her by email or phone when we had questions. The case result was also better than we expected due to the good team ...we had.
