Rebecca M. Perkins

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 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.

Rebecca came to the rescue, She came highly recommended by my co-workers whom have seen her work in many cases. I called her and the very next day Rebecca called back. I explained the situation between my boyfriend and his ex-wife. She listened to me and told me she will take our case. With very shor...t notice she appeared in court and took care of our concerns. We are very satisfied and feel blessed with the outcome. I

Rebecca Perkins is a stellar Attourney, someone who truly cares and will focus 100% on her clients case. My personal experience is that when I started my divorce, I had retained John Mcgill. I had such a negative experience with him that after a year and a half, I fired him. My sister had retained Mi...z Perkins as counsel. I was immediately impressed with Miz Perkins' focus and determination, nothing slipped by her. If an issue arose, Miz Perkins was onboard finding a solution and providing stern yet comforting support. I retained Miz Perkins after a year and a half long battle and it was the best decision I had made for the best interests of my children. Once I had my first meeting with Miz Perkins, I knew I had made the right choice for council. I finally felt confident in my case. My previous Attourney made no effort to guide me or keep me in the loop, Miz Perkins has open communication with me and is not apprehensive about her assessment and guidence. Miz Perkins is appropriately respectful and cautious in her interaction with judges and other attourneys and is very good at adapting to changing situations. As in every field, there are good and bad representatives of thier respective careers, Miz Perkins is deffinatly one of the best in my experience. As I have said multiple times, I would not want to be on the opposing side of Rebecca Perkins. I am so grateful to have her representing myself and the best interests of my children, anyone who retains her will feel the same gratitude if they are reasonable and wanting the best for thier children.

Like most people, I don’t like to spend any more money than I have to, and a divorce is an expensive proposition. You know how sometimes you find a deal on something and you can’t believe you only had to pay X to get Y? I’ve had that happen in the past with guitars. I was pleasantly surprised to find... the same kind of deal in my legal representation. Ms. Perkins became my attorney midway through my divorce. I was frustrated and worn down both by the process and what I perceived as the apathy, lack of follow through and uncommunicative nature of my previous counsel. At the beginning, she told me what my expectations should be: that she would always be available, that she would communicate, that she would work hard, and that she would always be honest whether I wanted to hear it or not. She fulfilled all of those expectations. I’m pretty sure opposing counsel liked Ms. Perkins more than he did his own client. And while I certainly couldn’t blame him, there were real benefits for me beyond confirming my opinion that no one in their right mind could stand my ex. The respect that she obviously had from both opposing counsel and the judge made the process more pleasant and created a more favorable environment for me to get what I wanted. At the end of the day, your attorney’s ability to get you what you want is the only true measure of their value. I came out ahead, and I don’t think the other side is even aware of it. That’s quality work. I never got the sense that Ms. Perkins had any agenda other than to get me the best deal possible, and I always felt that she was looking out for my best interests. She was creative and energetic in her approach, diligent in her execution, and thorough in her follow-up. My case took a fairly long time to resolve and as you might expect in such a protracted process there were highs and lows. Ms. Perkins steady counsel kept me grounded during the highs and supported during the lows. She was genuinely sympathetic- you can tell when it’s honest- and that manifested itself in what I thought was extra effort, but she might always work that hard. I’ve already recommended her services to a friend and I would be more than happy to use her again. Not that I plan on getting any more divorces, but as I understand it she does estate planning as well.
