Rebekah Atkinson Frye

Rebekah has been my attorney for 3 years. She knows what she’s doing. She knows the Judges and they respect her. We have been able to settle a few issues and she is an effective and aggressive negotiator. On the other hand, we’ve gone to court several times and she is a pro. She has great courtroom e...xperience and awareness. She’s fun to watch. She’s been very successful when we go to court. Rebekah’s staff is extremely helpful, especially her paralegal. Very knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend Rebekah and her team.

Rebekah has been working with me for the last 2 years through an extremely contentious divorce and custody battle. She is always very professional and well prepared for court. She has been successful in making my points heard and I am very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Rebekah Frye to my... family and friends.

I retained Rebekah Frye after interviewing two other experienced and respected family law firms in Palo Alto and San Jose. She was the only attorney who was confident (without guaranteeing it) that she could obtain a protective order for my child and me at the start of my divorce proceedings. She bac...ked up her assessment with the most current legal precedent and a knowledge of trends in this area, and she was right. Custody is her passion and I don't believe that anyone else could have achieved the result that she obtained for me and my child at that crucial stage. Over the course of the proceedings, which my ex and his attorneys delayed, Rebekah was caring and patient with me, but highly focused and aggressive in court. She never overpromised what she could do, and she set my expectations about what outcomes were likely and unlikely before every hearing and trial. And she did not drive up legal fees by having paper wars with the other side, or by allowing them to engage her in tactical games. She is practical, smart, and fearless in court. Divorce proceedings are horrible, and attorneys in this emotionally wrought area are not miracle workers, especially if you hired another attorney first, and the new attorney is tasked with trying to fix something the previous attorney did. So I recommend not depending solely on website reviews, because you don't know the full story. Get recommendations from divorced people you know personally, some of whom may be in online divorce support groups where attorney recommendations are shared. Then interview the attorneys. Ask the same tough questions to all and compare the responses. Also make sure you feel comfortable with the attorney as it's your finances and children at issue and along with health, those are the most important issues in your life. A good fit for one person may not work for someone else. I did careful vetting and found the right attorney for me.

When I was looking for an attorney, Rebekah Frye's name came up repeatedly as knowledgeable, highly respected by judges and her peer's in the community, and very successful in winning cases for her clients. As my attorney, I found her to be a fierce and ethical litigator. I have followed her recommen...dations and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case. She is passionate about what she does and takes a personal interest in her clients. Rebekah has done a phenomenal job and I recommend her to my friends and anyone looking for a family law attorney.

At first I was very happy with Ms. Frye. She assured me that I was not alone and that she and Eber team were there and that I had a very winnable case. But gradually it seemed like she lost interest. She bragged about calling opposing counsel a b$&?! And hanging up on her. Didn't follow through, di...dn't return calls or emails. During court appearances she would spend down time chatting with the other attorneys even though that was my only opportunity to discuss the case with her since she was so elusive outside of court. She made a three hour appointment twitch me to prep me for trial and changed it to a quick 30 minute lunch meeting at a restaurant. Prep consisted of telling me I would be fine on the stand. Changed major trial strategy while i court giving me no opportunity to object. After she lost the case she dropped me. She wouldn't even answer any important questions about next steps, options etc. She added pain and stress to an already horrible situation.
