Mrs. Emmons has served our company for many years with outstanding support and professionalism. As all businesses we run into challenges from time to time. She has helped us numerous times to navigate through the legal aspects that we faced. We are extremely thankful to have a talent available to us with Mrs. Emmons!

Ms. Emmons is not only my personal attorney, but I always rely on her for matters arising in my business. The real estate business has become more and more detailed and complicated over time, and Ms. Emmons always makes the time to take my calls, and more importantly she provides good, sound advice and counsel for pressing questions needing a legal opinion, whether they are complicated or more simple and straight forward. I have complete faith in her guidance, and that is why I ask her to handle all of my legal issues, both personal and professional.

Attorney Emmons handled multiple real estate transactions for us recently including property splits, sales and purchases. She was great with communicating any issues that arose and handling them quickly so as not to cause any delays. We gladly recommend her.

My veterans have employed Rebecca on numerous occasions ranging from a simple will to a complicated trust. Not only has she produced a superb document but she has discounted her rates for those veterans who could not afford an attorney. On one occasion, she had to do research on a veteran who died without a will and no known next of kin. Through her diligent efforts, she found a daughter living in France when all standard investigators were unable to produce a next of kin. This kind of effort is typical of her performance for the veterans I have referred to her care. I trust her implicitly and highly recommend her.

Rebecca represented me in a real estate transaction and provided great guidance. Having an attorney that is knowledgeable and experienced is a must; Rebecca is very knowledgeable, responsive and professional. She was honest and timely throughout the process. Rebecca has a practical and efficient approach to solving problems, and she answered my many questions in layman's terms, which made it easy for me to understand. I highly recommend Rebecca and would not hesitate to seek her services for future transactions.

I cannot speak highly enough about Ms. Emmons, initially working with her on a corporate level in real estate matters. I greatly respect her knowledge and professionalism, resulting in choosing her to handle my personal legal affairs. Additionally in heading a local non-profit, I selected Ms. Emmons to represent us. She gives us sage advise and does an outstanding job. It is with pleasure that I can endorse her services in corporate, real estate, non-profits and private matters.

I have worked with many attorneys in town however Rebecca is truly one of the best. She is intelligent, able to reach after business hours, has all the answers is there to solve the problems. She is humble, something that I think is lacking in attorneys these days. I have worked with Rebecca over 2 dozen times on Real Estate transactions and plan to continue a great relationship, and I give her my highest recommendations.

Rabecca is an intelligent, result oriented attorney. To date I have used her services with excellent outcome in solving Real Estate issues. I would not hesitate to have her work on general business problems. Her billing practices are very fair; a known rarity in this profession.
