“I love the diversity of family law. It’s never the same day twice.”

Rebecca grew up in Lebanon, Kentucky, and later attended Western Kentucky University, where she competed on the internationally renowned WKU Forensics Team. After spending a year working as a receptionist and legal assistant at a law firm, she enrolled in Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. At Brandeis, Rebecca excelled in both Trial Practice and Constitutional Law I, earning the highest grades in those courses. She also founded the school's first team for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, competing in Vienna, Austria.


 With over 15 years of exclusive experience in family law, Rebecca focuses on high-asset divorces, domestic violence cases, and adoptions. She is also trained in Collaborative Law, offering clients an alternative to litigation. 


 Outside of her legal work, Rebecca treasures time with her family and plays volleyball.
