My comments about Rebecca Covell

Rebecca is very professional, thorough and nice to work with. She has a keen understanding of both federal and state employment issues, which combined with her litigation background, make her an incredibly effective advocate. I also admire Rebecca's practical side and sensitivety to specific client c...oncerns.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Ms. Covell on labor and employment matters, and I find her to be professional, knowledgeable and communicative. As an attorney who represents small business, I like being able to tap Ms. Covell’s experience and knowledge to assist my clients in solving the day-to-day employment matters that come up, and I have referred her to my clients who need a more in-depth review of their employment practices. She is easy to work with, and provides practical answers to the daily challenges that arise in the employment arena."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Reprimand issued in AZ, 2018

updated on 10/10/2019

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
