Hiring her? Might as well light your retainer fee on fire

Ms. Rowland’s practice of law appears less rooted in advocacy and more in abusive process. She weaponizes protective orders as if they were personal vendettas, not legal instruments. Her filings are rife with retaliatory intent, forum shopping, and misrepresentations that would make even a first-year... law student blush. If there were a statute for ‘frivolous litigation as a lifestyle,’ Rebecca Rowland would be the test case. Proceed with caution: retaining her is less about securing justice and more about underwriting her next baseless filing.

Words could never descride how great she is

I was referered to Ms.Rowland by a another attorney who felt that she was a better fit for my case. My case started out as a CPS case with a protection order later added. Ms.Rowland on our 1st court date won and my custody order remained unchanged. Then instead of having to attend court the next day ...over a protective order she was able to get that withdrew and held mediation instead which resulted only in minimal changes. Ms.Rowland was always very upfront with me and always gave me the choices of very best outcome or the worst outcome. She was always a phone call away no matter the day or time. As a mother also she would sit and let me cry and just listen she truly understands and is truly all in with her clients. Her fees are reasonable and she explains that fully in your consultation. If you are in need of a family attorney and someone who will listen and fully represent you in court then Ms. Rebecca Rowland is your attorney.

Excellent Attorney

I spent several weeks researching family law attorneys. I spoke with several of them by phone and even had a consultation with one. I was about to give up on my search and go it alone until I spoke with Rebecca Rowland. Our initial conversation by phone was very professional and she actually spent mo...re time with me by phone then another attorney had done in a face to face consultation. She asked all the right questions and her compassion was genuine. When you discuss your case with her you know without a shadow of a doubt she knows family law! She was very honest about what I could and could not expect with my situation. She made sure we had both reviewed all aspects of the case and knew what outcome we wanted. Ms. Rowland kept my best interest at heart and she fought for what was fair. Her rates were reasonable and her hard work and compassion was outstanding!!

Failure to Represent

I hired Rebecca to represent me in the probate of my late father’s estate. I engaged her and paid the retainer invoice within two days of receipt. I experienced extreme difficulty reaching her through multiple modes of communication right from the outset and had to proactively initiate requests for u...pdates. After finally receiving a drafted probate application I had it executed, notarized and returned back to Rebecca electronically within 24 hours. The last communication I had from Rebecca was that she would e-file the application that day (June 14). She never actually filed the application with the court and I haven’t heard from her since. I have reached out via phone, online client portal, and certified mail yet still have not received any response weeks later. I officially terminated the client attorney relationship in accordance with the legal services agreement on July 2 but still have not received any communication. In addition she still has possession of my father’s original will to this day (July 13). I cannot caution any prospective clients more as you consider Rebecca as an attorney. My family and I are already experiencing stressful times and I had hoped that hiring Rebecca would help alleviate that stress. Unfortunately, the opposite has happened.

Family Law Attorney

I can’t express Enough how Rebecca helped me get more than I could ask for in a child custody case. She extremely amazed me of her knowledge and ethics and her willingness to fight for me . To my knowledge she is a attorney that cares and she’s not out to over charges her clients . A five star rating... is underrated. I give her a 10 ⭐️
