Lockard Rebecca L

Made an appointment to talk with her for my wife and I. Her administrative assistant was giving legal advice over the phone and was very negative about our chances. He however is not an attorney and broke the law by giving Legal commentary as well. When we showed up we were given a clip board requesting social security numbers, wage and employer information, children’s social security numbers and a slew of other personal financial information....all of this to just meet with this woman and decide if we were a good fit. We told the receptionist that we were not comfortable providing our financial documentation for a consultation until we determined she was the right lawyer for us. Her assistant ( an unkept man in wrinkled pants and a campaign shirt who was very effeminate) came out and rudely asked why we wouldn’t fill out the paperwork. We replied that it was very invasive and presumptive until we agreed to hire her. He replied well you don’t see a Dr without giving this information. I replied well all due respect she isn’t a dr. He waved his hands and said ok goodbye were done.....my wife and I were like damn right we are skippy...Avoid this Attorney at all costs. Very shady very unprofessional. I believe the positive reviews are friends and family trying to counter the large number of poor reviews. Seriously we drove an hour to meet this woman and agree to her $300 an hour cost......why would I give her my personal financial info just to meet with her?

Rebecca, and her associate John, were extremely professional in helping me file my divorce. Rebecca ensured that I was fair to myself when it came to the division of assets. She is an excellent advocate for her clients and John does an outstanding job ensuring that clients understand the legal processes involved. Rates and fees are very reasonable, they are an absolute pleasure to work with.

Her assistant is great but she is lazy. Will absolutely not fight for you. I think she takes to many cases and can’t stay organized. Plus we waited 6 hrs on a judge that never showed up. She charged me $250 an hr the entire time!

She is super on the ball and an amazing human as well.

Don't bother taking proof, documentation, signed contracts or anything to mediation. She will not even look at it.nnHer mediation style is highly offensive. I am not a confrontational person at all, which is actually one of my biggest weaknesses. She made me feel like I HAD to defend myself, instead of being a neutral arbitrator like she says she is. And by defend, with her refusal to look at any proof and documentation, it basically is her assumptions versus what you know and can prove, and she doesn't really care what you can prove. Oh, and her neutral, she only came into the room to yell at me, whereas she was socializing with the other party enough to look at pictures on their phone. She let a diagnosed Narcisstic Bipolar schizophrenic feel like he's now at will to do whatever he wants because he had no negative consequences at all for his actions. Because of her suggestion that my parents would forgive the $35,000 loan, he now has NO intentions of repaying the loan, thus forcing me to repay it because it HAS to be paid.nnThanks Rebecca. I appreciate the forced misery you've enabled for the next 3 years. :/nnI would avoid her if at all possible.
