About Rebekah
Biography
I truly like my job, my clients and the practice of law. I have years of civil litigation experience including complex litigation, discovery, depositions, use of expert witnesses and trial, having practiced almost exclusively as a medical malpractice defense attorney right out of law school. This experience has afforded me a general civil litigation skill-set and foundational understanding of the law that is invaluable with respect to my current practice areas such as divorce and family law.
Not all legal matters, or even most, end up in trial. But it’s always best to begin the process with an eye toward trial. It helps you to prepare your case for the absolute best settlement posture, which is in everyone’s best interests. And if you do end up at trial, you’re ready for that as well.
In addition to being an attorney, I am a mom and a former professor of law. While I consider my three kids to be my greatest accomplishments, I am also very proud of my students, some of whom I see in court. Being a mother, I have a very child-focused approach to family law matters and I take my responsibility toward children personally.
I came to the practice of law a little bit later in life, after having other jobs (including being a medic for 10 years) which is how I know that law is absolutely the right occupation for me. I have met many burned-out attorneys who hate what they do. I love my work. I feel passionate about the practice of law and I take my responsibility to my clients seriously. In my career, I have had the unique opportunity to practice in many areas of law, as well as exposure to interesting legal problems and the privilege of solving them for clients from all walks of life.
I bring a "problem solving" attitude to each new case, and I am pleased to say that I have helped many fine people settle matters rather than litigate. Being inquisitive, I tend to look more deeply into an issue and for that reason, I have experienced much success with legal problem solving and I look forward to each new legal challenge, and to helping each new client.
I hope that you never need a lawyer, but if the time comes when you do please give me a call. I look forward to meeting you.

My Divorce Gone Bad
This is the first positive review I have ever written about an attorney that I did not hire. My Family Law Case, ongoing for 5 years, has turned for the worse as a result of lawyers that could not or would not follow thru with their promises of help. Ms. Main followed thru with an in-depth cons...

Replied last April 06, 2019Thank you very much for this kind review. I am honestly sorry that I could not see a way to help you, and could not therefore take your money. I wish you had hired me at the beginning of your divorce and I do sincerely wish you well! Take care. Rebekah Main
Posted by anonymous | May 05, 2018 | Family
Very helpful
Rebekah was very helpful and patient with my questions about the minutiae of ex parte filings in family court (the kind of thing that's like kryptonite to me) and put in more effort than could reasonably be expected to help me understand. If my ex ever slips up and allows me to retaina few bucks, I w...

Dissolution of marriage
I hired Rebekah back in 2013 to handle my divorce & child custody matter. Mine was unfortunately the type that carried on for several years. I cannot express my gratitude for having her representation during this extremely stressful time..as an attorney, she is extremely professional, knowledgeable, ...

Replied last April 08, 2018Thank you so much for this very kind review! I decided a long time ago that I did NOT have to be typical in the practice of law, focused only on the money. You are an excellent example of why! If you are who I suspect you are, I am so glad to hear that the children are thriving. and I am honored every time a client (or judge, or opposing counsel, and even sometimes opposing parties!) recommends my services. Thank you. Rebekah Main

Awesome.
Rebekah is an amazing person. I had previous attorneys that represented me in a divorce/custody and domestic violence matter and there is no comparing Rebekah to those other attorneys. Rebekah listened to fears and my concerns and provided me comfort and reassurance throughout the process ... and a...
