Rebecca M. Perkins

I hired her to defend me in a case she stated that I was being setup I didn’t realize it may have been her setting me up . After I gave her a retainer fee she did a horrible job negotiating , I had to fire her. I negotiated myself and got a way better agreement. After I fired her I believe she contac...ted the other lawyers and started and illegal investigation and defamation campaign . Don’t advise worse mistake ever.

A difficult divorce is hard enough to deal with. Dealing with an attorney like Rebecca Perkins who behaves like she is doing you a favor to work for you and can "fire you" at a moment's notice makes one of the toughest experiences you can face even tougher. My strong recommendation is to find someone... else to help you, no matter how tempting Rebecca's skills may seem. Here's my story. I have a lifetime of business and negotiating experience, just so you know who's writing this. I hired Rebecca because I strongly believed she had the ability to help me in a tricky divorce situation, and she indicated she felt the same way. I gave Rebecca the benefit of the doubt when she IMMEDIATELY shifted me to Courtney without my knowledge or consent, who I never met on day one. Courtney seemed competent but lacked Rebecca's fighting spirit which was why i hired Rebecca, but again, figured Rebecca knew the best path forward for my situation. After just a few months, apparently Rebecca and Courtney parted ways, but the notification process was misleading and shady (my opinion). Without input from Rebecca, Courtney took her own path to my case which has proven completely ineffective (demonstrably). Courtney and I agreed to part ways amicably, but now I am in a bind with court dates coming - I need a quality attorney who can be strong and strategic at a critical time. I still believed Rebecca could be that attoney. I called Rebecca and asked her to resume her role as my attorney. Rebecca said she "reviewed my file" and has decided not to take me on as a client. Interestingly, I should still be her client as I just paid a good size bill. She'll likely say I signed a change of attorney form and so I should only blame myself, but that change was presented by Courtney as "allowing Courtney to handle more matters directly". I never heard from Rebecca during their "transition process" at all. I had to pry it out of Courtney that she was no longer affiliated with Rebecca. Long story short. Stay away. Too much risk you won't make the cut as someone she is willing to help--even after she takes you on as a client!

I came into contact with Rebecca by accident. I am dealing with a high-conflict child custody case in San Diego County. Very serious events have occurred which I do not want to share publicly that required assistance from Rebecca. Rebecca represents the Mother of a child my ex-wife has allegedly k...idnapped. The child has been missing since November and is still missing. There are many different law enforcement agencies involved, as well as three different courts in three counties regarding child abduction. Rebecca has gone above and beyond to research issues related to this case and provide me and her client with guidance as it relates to informing the court of the facts and getting all counties and all law enforcement on the same page. Rebecca is intuitive and very smart. She is honest and exercises integrity when dealing with me and other people. Rebecca can be curt and straight to the point which initially threw me off. I felt her tone was aggressive with me. Then when I realized who she was and what part she plays in these cases; I understood her intensity. She literally cross-examined me when she found me. Yes, she found me! While doing research on her kidnapping case she traced several relatives of the alleged kidnapper. Rebecca has laser focus. I can imagine that is offputting to sensitive people who need hand-holding. Despite her initial aggressive and curt demeanor she has a huge heart and has the children's best interests at the top of her list. Due to her call, her conversation with my attorney, and her efforts to this day, I have full custody of my son after being alienated for over 6 months

I hired Rebecca to represent me in a high-conflict child custody case in Riverside. I was looking for an attorney that would stand up for me, and make all of my evidence known to the Judge. Rebecca filed motion after motion for me until the court finally made a decision in my favor. I am dealing wit...h a severe parental alienation case. Rebecca fought hard so that the court would HEAR what I was trying to say. Communication with her office is very easy. The office’s procedures make it efficient and quick to get questions answered and get updates on my case. All documents are forwarded to me for review. The only issue is that Rebecca is on the pricier side. However, her reputation in the community, her relationships with everyone from the court staff to the janitor, make the court appearance so much less stressful. You really do pay for what you get. My prior attorney charged much less but I ended up paying just as much as Rebecca charges because their office was inefficient, disorganized, and just not up to my standards. It seems like that is the norm for most firms. Not Rebecca’s firm. Those girls are a team and it is evident that they work very well together. Rebecca knows the law cold. She thinks quickly on her feet and does not give up. Highly recommend.

Generally, I do not post personal detailed reviews, but Rebecca and her team deserve to be recognized for their tireless efforts. Just over a couple years ago, I frantically called for a semi-emergent after-hours consult, expecting to hear back from her the next day. Thankfully, Rebecca immediately... sprang into action, responding later that day. With a few factual details, she knew exactly what to do and began handling my intense situation. I was scared and unsure of what I was doing but Rebecca and her firm guided me throughout the entire legal process. Rebecca was honest and compassionate but more importantly provided me the tough reality I needed to face. Rebecca and her amazing paralegal, Lisa, have maintained the same honesty, toughness, and compassion people need when they are going through a family law matter. Some things were tough to hear but this firm, there is no BS. Rebecca's focus has never dulled, even when there were legal roadblocks, the covid crisis, and inconvenient telephonic hearings. After the frustration, fear and tears on my end, Rebecca and Lisa helped me see things clearly and together prepared a settlement that finally put my nightmare to an end. I cannot thank Rebecca & Lisa (& Nicole!) enough, for being amazing and attentive to my situation. I strongly recommend hiring Rebecca for any of your family law needs. Her honesty, compassion, toughness, legal acumen, and no BS mentality will put you in a better position to put your family law issues behind you so you can start the next chapter in your life.
