Rebecca is happy in her work as a family and Collaborative Divorce attorney. She has always been keenly aware of other peoples' emotional states and needs, and has always strived to help them solve their problems. This desire to understand people and their needs make her uniquely suited to help clients navigate through the overwhelming process of a family law matter, such as a divorce, a custody order, or a modification of a parenting time order. She loves breaking down the process of family law issues and educating her clients about their options, which gives them agency and empowers them to make informed decisions about their cases.
Rebecca is trained in Collaborative Divorce and she loves sharing her excitement about this area of family law practice that gives clients even more agency and options for resolution of their unique issues than are presented in traditional family law practice.
Fun Facts:
Rebecca's day is fueled by music (preferably the Beatles, old country music, and classic rock) and good food.
