A Great Lawyer for High Stakes Litigation

As the GC of a large organization with complex legal issues, I’ve hired dozens of lawyers for all kinds of cases, big and small. When the stakes are high, you want someone like Becca. We first hired Becca to replace a large national law firm years into a complex lawsuit that presented an existentia...l risk to the company. Within a short time, Becca produced a strategy and avenues for success that the entire team of lawyers we had employed for years never presented. The result was that the case was settled with terms favorable to our company and the end of the lawsuit that had hung over our head for a long time. As a former litigator with a great deal of experience in the courtrooms of this state, I can tell you that Becca is on a different level than just about anyone you encounter. She also happens to be a wonderful person. I would recommend her unreservedly.

10 star attorney!

I had the pleasure of working directly with Rebecca since 2017. Since then, Rebecca and her partner James Quadra became two of the attorneys I trust the most, especially when it comes to litigations. Around 2017, my company was having a shareholder dispute that later escalated to a full lawsuit. ... My previous attorneys that I hired before meeting Rebecca were not able to resolve the case and only seemed to have escalated the lawsuit. After the case going no-where for several months, I luckily stumbled upon Rebecca and James Quadra. Rebecca took the time to listen to my case, gave me great advice on how to best proceed, and worked diligently to defend the company and our point of view. She's also a phenomenal writer, which is an extremely important skill set for attorneys, as a lot of opinions/arguments are presented to the other side/judges over writing. Unlike my previous attorneys that I worked with, Rebecca was not only a better writer but also a lot more efficient with the entire process, where she would complete work 2-3 faster than the previous attorneys I've worked with, and also knew how to be aggressive toward the other side when needed. I also felt like she really genuinely cared about me as a person and was really seeking out the best interest of myself and the company. I can go on and add why working with Rebecca was amazing! Overall, because I met Rebecca and James, we were able to resolve the lawsuit successfully and achieve a great outcome for myself and the company. What the other attorneys could not resolve in a few years, Rebecca and James resolved in a matter of months. In a lot of ways, I feel like I found lifelong attorneys that I can completely trust, especially when it comes to litigation. If I could rate them on a scale of 1-5, they truly get a 10!

Rebecca Coll is an aggressive, knowledgeable, intense lawyer that you will be thrilled is your advocate and not on opposing side

Rebecca Coll was incredibly proficient, efficient and wonderful to have on my team during a particularly difficult time in my life when I realized I had been the victim of fraud. She is very no nonsense and direct in approach and gave me great insight into the legal issues regarding my case, as we...ll as, spot on description of what to expect. I felt at ease for the first time in months when I finally had my first conversation with her about the case. My father is an attorney as is my uncle so I've been around the legal profession all of my life. It's extremely important to get the best lawyer you can find and afford--Rebecca was without a doubt an excellent lawyer and adversary. There is a seriousness about her that can be slightly intimidating. I knew I was in great hands from the start and really enjoyed watching her intimidate the hell out of the perpetrator of the fraud.

A job well done!

Rebecca was great! She understood the magnitude of my issue, was well versed in the technical as well as legal aspects of my case, was highly communicative - keeping me informed regularly - and, while appearing to be soft spoken, was able to get tough when needed. I am very impressed with her profe...ssionalism, understanding of the law, and technical ability to understand the numbers.

Highly Recommended and very Professional Attorney

I was first introduced to Rebecca Coll when I engaged the services of Calvo, Fisher & Jacob. I was involved in a trust management case, and Rebecca Coll was part of the team that worked for me. My first impression upon meeting Rebecca was that she was extremely competent. I find this to be the mo...st important quality in an attorney, as you need to immediately feel that trust in their capabilities from the onset, and Rebecca made me feel just that. What I didn't understand about lawsuits, is that it takes specific areas of expertise from specific attorneys in the legal process, in order to facilitate a winning strategy. In this particular case, I worked primarily with two attorneys, Rebecca Coll and James Quadra. While James Quadra was the lead litigator and who was equally superb, it was Rebecca Coll who provided the very intelligently written briefs. Prior to this experience, I did not realize the importance of such writings, and the crucial part they play in the whole process. This has to be one of Rebecca's strongest qualities. Her superb writing skills are amazing. I have learned that it takes a special finesse to eloquently surmise in a brief the essence of what the issue of the case is all about, particularly to put it in your favor. Rebecca's critical thinking process that she displayed in her briefs, allowed the whole team to pull together a very clear and strong case, which in turn, provided me with the very outcome that I hoped to achieve when I engaged their services in the first place. In short, I got what I wanted. What was also impressive, was Rebecca's constant communication. This was an attorney who I felt was working for me 24 hours a day. Rebecca never made me feel that there was another client who was more important or more derserving of her attention. Everytime I contacted her, she responded immediately and always in a very positive manner. Lastly, the one thing that was truly reassuring, was that Rebecca Coll, and the whole team of Calvo, Fisher & Jacob for that matter, never made me feel like this was just my problem. On the contrary, Rebecca and the team took all of the pressure off of me, and placed it on themselves. I felt as though they were equally involved in the case as much as I was, which is something I never experienced before. For anyone who is in need of such legal counsel, I would highly recommend Rebecca Coll and the entire staff at Calvo, Fisher & Jacob for their superior legal capabilites.
