About
As a Partner and Attorney with KingSpry’s Family Law/Adoption and Education/Special Educaiton departments, I understand that when it comes to legal matters, few areas are as personal and important to us as those that affect our children and our family lives. Issues related to custody, adoption, foster care, and guardianship require not only a highly effective legal expert, but a lawyer who can treat clients with compassion and understanding. This is what drew me to concentrate my practice in areas of law that address the needs of children and families, and this is what drives me to give every client personalized and exceptional service.I worked as a masters-level therapist for several years before returning to school in a dual degree program in law and psychology. I completed a second master's degree and additional clinical experience before deciding the practice of law gave me more of the kind of opportunity I was seeking to help people dealing with life transitions and family matters.This clinical background still serves me as a lawyer, giving me an insight into my clients’ lives and a broader perspective to draw from when helping resolve their legal matters. My studies in child development inform the guidance I provide to clients regarding how to safeguard the child’s best interest in custody and other issues.While I am always focused on fulfilling my obligation to pursue my clients’ goals, my passion for child welfare leads me to approach custody, foster care, and other legal issues with the best interest of the child in mind. I offer counsel that helps families consider how the decisions they are making will impact the children involved.My goal as a lawyer is to help my clients consider a broad range of options, make informed decisions, and achieve the quickest and best resolution to their legal matters as possible. To do this, I combine my strong legal expertise and clinical background with a passion for helping families through what are often very emotionally charged circumstances.

I hired Rebecca as my divorce attorney this year. My husband made the decision to leave our marriage and our two teenage sons and I needed to protect myself and my children. I knew that I wanted to make sure things didn't get ugly but also needed someone to stand up for my boys and I . Rebecca was the perfect choice. She listened to me and how I wanted to proceed with custody as well as division of assets etc. Communication with Rebecca and her assistant were spot on and I never felt lost or in the dark. Although divorce is a painful process , Rebecca ensured that I was good with all the proceedings. I am very thankful to have had Rebecca in my corner and would absolutely recommend ( and have ) her to others that may be going through a divorce.
Rebecca has been instrumental in supporting a comprehensive view of individual cases. Her technical expertise is well matched with an understanding and appreciation for the practical application of law at the classroom, school building and distirct level.
Ms. Young is very responsive to our school district's needs. She answers our questions/concerns in a very timely manner and seeks input from her colleagues when an especially challenging situation arises. Ms. Young works with us in a calm, matter-of-fact manner with fairness to both sides. Her legal advice has been accurate and thoughtful.
