Rebecca’s Story:

When I was 8 years old my father was wrongfully charged with a Federal Crime and the effect on my family was infinitely worse than the crimes he was accused of committing. Thanks to the hard work of a skilled Defense team, a plea bargain was struck and my father was released after spending 15 months in confinement. Without such a competent legal defense team my father could have been imprisoned for up to 44 years. After this experience, my goal was to become a Defense Attorney in order to ensure that the best representation was available for people in similar predicaments. I fight every case as if the individuals and the families affected were my own.

Approach:

I begin my case handling with a realistic evaluation of the case file. My goal is to work with the client to identify issues, opportunities, and strategies that can help streamline the litigation process. I will be candid and sincere with my evaluation and suggestions, and devote the time necessary to understand the goals of my clients. I attempt, early on, to identify cases that are resolvable without protracted litigation, and search for strategies that bring such cases to a fair and prompt resolution. When a decision has been made to litigate a case to conclusion, I litigate the case aggressively.

Values:

I pride myself in providing excellent legal representation for my clients at very competitive rates. I enjoy getting to know my clients and their businesses. My goal is to help my clients as a partner, not merely provide a service as a vendor. My clients benefit from my commitment to use the latest law office technologies and systems.
