 Becky was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She settled in Sonoma County after obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University. Becky completed Empire Law School in 1996 and was admitted to the California Bar in 1997.
Becky has practiced Family Law exclusively since June 1997. She is a member of the Sonoma County Bar Association, the California Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and Sonoma County Women in Law. She served as President of Sonoma County Women in Law in 1999 and as Chair of the Family Law Section-Sonoma County Bar in 2002.
In addition to serving on various boards and committees, Becky also serves as a Fee Arbitrator for the Sonoma County Bar, a volunteer at Sonoma County Legal Aid, and a volunteer in Judge Rosenfield's family law courtroom.
Family law is complicated and misunderstood by most participants. Unfortunately, the people who need family law help the most usually cannot afford it. The end result is that they try to handle their case themselves. These individuals are called "self represented" litigants or "pro pers". Even if a self-represented litigant reads the most current book about handling his or her own divorce, the content of that book is most likely out of date. Family law changes daily and there is just no book available to replace a family law lawyer.
Becky understands the realities of family law litigation and the fact that most participants cannot afford legal representation. In May 2005, Becky established the Family Law Center. The Family Law Center was established to fill the specific need of providing family law legal assistance to individuals who otherwise could not afford an attorney. The Family Law Center is designed to accommodate those individuals who need legal assistance on a limited basis. Becky continues to provide full service family law representation to those that need it and can afford it.
When Becky is not practicing law, you will probably find her on the softball field with her daughter or participating in some other "kid friendly" activity. Family is what matters most. It IS possible to dissolve your marriage or relationship and still raise happy, healthy children in the process.
