Highly Recommend!!

I cannot speak more highly of Rebecca and her team. Not only is she straightforward in terms of expected outcomes, but she is personable, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. She represents clients from the heart, is very smart, and is a go-getter. Highly recommend her!

Effective and compassionate

I hired Rebecca after consulting with at least 5 other employment lawyers in the Bay Area. She was highly recommended and wonderful to work with. She helped me successfully navigate a separation from a hostile company. She was instrumental in setting expectations, prioritizing, navigating communicati...on with bad faith counterparts, and ultimately securing a reasonable outcome. Throughout she remained compassionate, focused, and responsive. I could not recommend her more highly.

Professional and Respectful

Reaching out to see legal guidance is not always an easy endeavor; usually it comes at a time of immense sadness and uncertainty. Rebecca immediately put me at ease with her compassion, respect and genuine interest in helping me find a reasonable resolution.

Educator & Spiritual Director

Rebecca is an incredible lawyer and an inspiring person. She took my case and helped me find my way through a very difficult departure from my work place. In addition to her excellent knowledge and intelligence in legal matters she related to my husband and I with such kindness, humility, and compa...ssionate listening. I strongly recommend Rebecca Kagin.

Posted by anonymous | February 05, 2019 | Wrongful Termination

A Fighter for the Underdog with a Clear Sense of Right and Wrong

I consulted with Rebecca on my case of termination with my company and was astounded by her knowledge of how to best focus my efforts in moving towards finding the right person for the job. While Rebecca's schedule didn't line up exactly with mine, her expertise in helping me find the right way forwa...rd on consultation has been invaluable. She has an open and compassionate ear for people stuck in terrible situations, and her reputation extended to a network of AAA lawyers that were able to step up and move forward with me towards a positive resolution. I'm incredibly thankful to have met Ms. Kagin, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any case you might be struggling with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
