Rebekah and her staff were highly professional, well-organized, thorough, and kind through the handling of my divorce. They explained my choices and their consequences clearly so I could make good decisions. Her streamlined processes resulted in the divorce being finalized in 10 days from retaining her office to being finalized by the court. Would highly recommend Rebekah and her office!!

It is with great pleasure that I get to spend time with my son today thanks to Rebekah Brown-Wiseman and her legal team. I really didn’t want to hire a lawyer as most men think we can handle everything on our own but I'm glad I did. The amount of time I saved by not having to deal with all the massive amount paperwork, lost time at work, headaches of going to the courts, etc. it is priceless. Did I mentioned that the whole process is extremely easy with Ms. Wiseman? As an experienced lawyer, she handled the whole case over the phone / zoom (my preference - I also could have come into the office in person) and I never left my house! She also saved me almost half of my previous child support payment. My case took a few months and now I get to enjoy shared custody with my son. I sincerely want to thank Rebekah Brown-Wiseman and I highly recommend her for your family case.

Having Rebekah represent me in my divorce was a great experience. Rebekah has an excellent understanding of law and what I was entitled to. I felt consistently informed and prepared throughout the entire process. Rebekah always made herself available and was prompt in responding as well as in attending to issues at the arose during the legal process. She’s a very calm demeanor and kept me focused on what was important. Her vast knowledge and experience in family law provided quick results in my favor. At the end of my case I felt so empowered and relieved. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebekah to family and friends looking for experienced divorce attorney.

Rebekah Brown-Wiseman is an amazing attorney! She is knowledgeable, punctual and straight to the point. I needed to relocate with my child to another city but at that time my options looked very limited. I felt confused and overwhelmed. Luckily, I was able to find Rebekah. She handled my child custody case in the most efficient way. From the start of my case to the very end of it she stayed on top of the game and got me the results I wanted. What I really appreciate about her is she will try her best to save you money because things can get pretty expensive if you have someone who doesn’t know what he/she is doing. I will definitely refer her to my friends and family!

I don’t remember how I found Rebekah, but I am glad I did. I started out with another firm who was money hungry and to me seemed incapable of handling my case. When I stumbled upon Rebekah, I booked for a consultation and after speaking with her immediately felt like she would be able to handle my case. Her experience and knowledge in custody cases had me in awe because for the first time in dealing with my battle I felt like I was finally speaking with someone who knew what they were doing and would get me the best possible results. Rebekah knew I was a single mom and a student so she tried her best to keep the cost down all while still keeping me up to date on my case. From the beginning, she told me I could just sit and doing nothing with my case until the other party made a move, and even though I was anxious to get it over with, that advice was the best because in the end my case was dismissed due to the other party not following through. I definitely recommend Rebekah 10/10.

The Law Firm was selected after a diligent search for a Family Law practice with experience in Alimony Reduction cases. After the initial meeting, I determined Rebekah Brown-Weseman was fully qualified and experienced in handling my case. The Firm represented me in a very Professional manner and was extremely responsive to all the case questions and required petitions. I am happy to report due to Rebekah Brown-Weisman and her Staff, the firm closed my case within 5 months of filing and the Outcome was extremely beneficial in my favor having settled for exactly what the reduction in Alimony was proffered in the original Petition. The Attorney and her Staff was responsive and all Fees were reasonable and accurate from the Retainer Agreement through the Final Billing. I wholly recommend this Law firm for any Family related representation. Efficient, Professional and most important Won my Case.

Hiring Rebekah Brown-Wiseman as our attorney for our Step-parent adoption was the best decision we made. Our case was a difficult one as I had an uncooperative out of state parent that we had no contact with nor did we have a present address. Rebekah and her team worked diligently on our case and made sure we followed every procedure to make this step-parent adoption possible. She was very understanding, knowledgeable, thorough and kept me in the loop of every step we had to take. There was no surprises explained every task and once it was completed. She even worked with us to find a lower cost to certain things which we are so grateful for. If we had a question we could call/ email her and received a response the very same day. The day of our hearing she represented us with professionalism ,responsive, detailed orientated and with her knowledge of family law. Our case came back victorious the judge ruled in our favor and this just wouldn’t of been possible with out all her hard work
