Rebecca is the kind of lawyer who makes you believe the profession is in good hands. With over a decade of practice behind her, Rebecca brings to everything she does a rare combination of intellectual depth, personal integrity, and a genuine commitment to the law as a force for good. She is not simply experienced; she is the kind of experienced that only comes from having done the hard work, in real courtrooms, on real cases, for real people.
