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 have never needed a lawyer before, Rebecca is a godsend to my child and I. I have had the privilege of having Rebecca as an attorney in my domestic violence and child custody case for 2 years. It is an enormous emotional battle, my needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a num...ber. Rebecca is your person when you are stuck in an abusive relationship, desperately asking for help. She is honest, intelligent, creative, trustworthy and very straightforward. I so appreciated her knowledge, claiming presence and no nonsense attitude. I witnessed her toughness and aggressiveness during my 4 days domestic violence trial and many times after that. She was thorough, articulate and won every single time we went to court. Rebecca is polite and respectful in the courtroom. You need to trust her, let her do her job and work with her. Her fees are very reasonable for her service. My child and I are eternally grateful for Rebecca.

Rebecca Perkins has restored my faith in Attorneys on many levels. She will not take your case or your money if she doesn’t have confidence in a favorable outcome. You need to have realistic expectations and be willing to trust her approach to your case. I spent a considerable amount of time eval...uating my options when deciding on a family law attorney to pursue a spousal support modification. My second choice was a distant second. As a result I was extremely happy that Ms. Perkins was willing to review and take my case. I have so many positive things to say about my experience. But I want to make this review the most beneficial for others seeking an exceptional family law attorney. I also want to give some additional tips to make sure you have an equally positive experience if you decide to pursue your case with Rebecca Perkins. The first couple points serve to reinforce previous comments. 1. Be certain to do your homework and come with realistic expectations. 2. Whether you have a phone or office consultation, take the time to prepare and write down your goals and basis for your goals. Write down all your questions and try to organize them in order of importance to you. This will serve you both well. This limits frustrations and keeps the cost lower throughout the process. 3. Try to leave your emotions and aggressions at home. It is an explosive issue no matter which side you are on. 4. Stick to the facts and be honest at all times. Rebecca will be honest and to the point while showing empathy for your concerns. Based on the fact that I was in a long term marriage I will likely be working with Ms. Perkins off and on for the next decade. As a result this it is not a review where I can declare a full and final victory in my case. But I can say that together we achieved my initial goal, and was accomplished without breaking the bank. If I could give 6 stars I would. I will come back in the future and add to this review. When it is time for the next phase of my case I will only proceed if represented by Rebecca Perkins.
