Professional representation!!!

Rebecca represented me in my divorce and custody situation. I faced a very complex situation and had to go up against my high conflict ex wife and her very aggressive attorney. Rebecca keeps things simple and her communication is to the point. She produces where it counts, in the court room. R...ebecca went up against my ex wife's prominent attorney in a hearing in Douglas County. In the court room she asked all of the right questions and was able to have a manipulated 2nd business valuation thrown out. She was reasonable in price and is flexible in payment plans. I am grateful for having found Rebeccas services and cannot say thank you enough for a very positive outcome that will change the course of my family and businesses destiny.

Great experience

I hired Rebecca to represent me in a divorce/child custody case. My husband and I ended up reconciling before our divorce was finalized and she was supportive and educated me even when I let her know I was going to possibly dissolve the divorce. I would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone. Thanks ...Rebecca!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Rebecca is hands down an amazing attorney. We had spent years in and out of courts in a custody battle with an alcoholic mother. Each time she was able to chip away at the restrictions with our other attorney. As soon as we got Rebecca on the case it hanged immediately for the better. I would recomm...end her to anyone and think she knows the issues at hand but also how to communicate thoroughly through the process. She is amazing!

I have recommended her to all my friends!

Rebecca took over my child custody case, after I had to fire a lawyer who was milking me for money. The case was somewhat contentious but she laid out the facts and got it resolved quickly, in my favor all the way. She is no-nonsense, knows how to fight if needed, extremely efficient -- amazing all a...round! I have recommended her to many friends and will use her for any needs I have down the line...

Great Attorney!

Rebecca represented me in a very difficult divorce case where spousal maintenance had become a major issue because of income disparity. Today the case finally closed and I can't wait to write Rebecca's review. She had been a pillar of support and collaboration through this emotionally tumultuous tim...e. She was very professional in her advice that I found practical and pragmatic. She never made false promises and was extremely prompt in getting her job done. She is meticulous and diligent in her drafts and very prompt in responding to her client's queries. She always kept me in the loop about the progress of the case and never failed to consult me before responding to the opposing party's counsel. She is a great resource to have on your team. Her professionalism and collaboration helped to settle the case on my terms in the shortest possible time. She is also very mindful of the cost and never bills without reason. I can't thank her enough for all her help and support.
