The BEST Attorney

​Selecting Alethea K. Rebman, Attorney at Law is the right choice. Your divorce attorney can significantly affect the outcome of your case and the overall experience during this challenging process. Alethea is known for providing dedicated legal representation, she offers extensive tax & retirement... knowledge and experience in family law, aiming to resolve cases efficiently for the best possible outcome. Alethea's deposition uncovered diverted funds, which I had no idea my spouse was hiding. She worked tirelessly on all the details, including the appraisal on my home. My spouse had paid an appraiser to overvalue our property in order to lessen my share of the assets. She was so compassionate with my financial situation. I'm a realtor, so I paid her only when I made a sale, which removed a lot of stress from my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today. She has become a TRUSTED friend and advisor. If you want a fair settlement, she will fight for you, her ethics are stellar.

Just extraordinary.

Alethea Rebman is simply the best attorney ever. She's responsive and fierce and patient and specific, exactly the kind of person you'd want in your corner. She assisted my fiance with a motion for post-decree relief after his divorce, and we will absolutely not hesitate to hire her if we have need o...f her services in the future. What a great advocate.

An amazing attorney

I was searching for an attorney for a post divorce issue when Alethea Rebman was highly recommended to me by a friend. My original attorney had proved to be incompetent, and another well known attorney I contacted declined my case, telling me I would not prevail. When I contacted Alethea she took t...he time to thoroughly listen to my case, ask relevant questions, and then she agreed to represent me. It was a particularly hard time in my life as I had a family member ill with cancer and another with a serious drug addiction. Alethea was always compassionate and concerned with my well being. She is extremely smart, focused, and impressive in the courtroom. She fought tirelessly for me. By the end of my case, which she brilliantly won, I felt she was not only my attorney but also a trusted friend. I highly recommend Alethea Rebman and her firm.

Divorce case for disabled spouse

What can I say about Alethea and her entire office that would express how much of a positive difference to my life they made. I was facing a life broken by my husband’s second affair yes, but I had suffered through a terrible medical emergency that left me unable to work even part time. My healt...h was our focus and the M&R team worked tirelessly to obtain a settlement for me that would allow me to heal and someday be employable again. The settlement was generous yet fair to both parties, neatly dividing the marital assets. Her counsel during this time was invaluable in helping me to keep my poise, and to keep my conscious clear of anger or bitterness. Alethea is family (no we are not blood related) but I would do anything for her and it would not begin to show the gratitude that I have for the life she obtained for me. Hire M&R; you will be so glad you did.

Simply The Best lawyer!

Alethea is much more than a lawyer to me. She became like a family to me, and her law firm feels like an extended family. Seven years ago, a friend of mine recommended Alethea as a great divorce lawyer. She met with me, and she agreed to take over my case from another lawyer who was OK, but I needed ...someone who can understand me better. I needed a woman to represent me and fight for my children and me. Every divorce is painful, especially when the children are involved, and when one of the sides starts hurting the children to destroy the other side. That was extremely difficult for me. Alethea was there for me every step of the way. She would respond to my calls at any time of the day or night, and we went through some challenging situations that involved life and death situations, TRO, and many more. Throughout all that time, I knew I could count on Alethea and her team. Her partner Dyan was there as well. She would step in when needed, with all her expertise. Her paralegals are kind and willing to help all the time. They became so familiar with my case, and they were living through each heartbreaking motion and unfortunate event with me. I am an immigrant and alone on the island without family and support. Alethea was, and still is, my family and my biggest support. Honestly, if it was not for here, I am not sure I would be here today. The words cannot describe how thankful I feel for having her in my kid’s and my lives. I was scared, insecure, emotional wreck, and did not know what to do next. Alethea and her team helped me regain self-confidence, strength, and support I needed when I did not have where to turn to. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a divorce lawyer to chose Alethea and her firm. You will be thankful forever. She is brilliant, sharp, knowledgable, organized, understandable, loyal, supportive, a BIG heart, kind, and she will fight for you like she is fighting for herself. She knows when to act and what to do. I was dealing with an extremely difficult ex-spouse, but Alethea helped me to get the 100% physical and legal custody for my children. If it were not for her, the monster of the family court system would eat me alive. Last but not least, whoever reads this, it means you need help. Go ahead and chose Alethea and her team. Choose Alethea because she will HEAR you, she will be there for you, and she will be your (and your children’s) rock and protector to receive the justice you deserve. Thank you, Alethea, and the team. Borjana.
