Frustrating at times

The overall outcome was in my favor and I already recommended her to friends.

Best of the Best

My mentor once told me the two most important people in your life outside family is your accountant and attorney. Both can save or cost you thousands of dollars and have an enormous impact on your life depending on your choice. Being a business owner, I've had the opportunity to work with a number... lawyers regarding business and personal issues. I can tell you from personal experience there is a HUGE disparity between lawyers in all fields. Years of experience; school attended; reputation; office location and fees have little to do with the quality of their work. Your best bet is a personal reference from a trusted colleague. Failing this, I offer you the following: Rebecca Dougan is one of the best lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with. Although relatively new to the profession, she is highly intelligent, extremely well informed, hardworking and dedicated. Ms. Dougan's integrity is rare in a profession with a reputation to the contrary. Because of Ms. Dougan's compassion for her profession, I sleep soundly knowing she sits on my side of the table.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Rebecca for over two years. She is incredibly intelligent and one of the most resourceful lawyers I know. She is extremely conscientious and conducts herself with a great deal of integrity and professionalism. She is a strong advocate for her clients but yet does not lose sight of reality or what is reasonable when asserting her client's position in a family law case. Rebecca is a wonderful addition to the family law community!"
