Our Legal Team Puts People First

Why I Do What I Do: My life has been inexplicably marked by a passion for justice and truth seeking for as long as I can remember. As a first-generation college graduate and lawyer, I know the meaning of hard work and tenacity and identify with hard working people. I have witnessed with clients that they are worried, feel intimidated by the complexities of the legal system, and are also going through tragedy from an injury. I have the privilege of tenaciously and relentlessly advocating for members of my community who have been injured and oftentimes, wronged. I treat every client as if they were my own family facing such a hardship and devote my time, energy, and education to producing the very best result possible. My mission is that every client we represent feels fought for, but also feels heard, seen, and cared for. Rebecca received her Juris Doctorate from Elon University School of Law where she was an active member of the Moot Court Board and received awards such as Top Oralist. She served as a leadership fellow, peer mentor, admissions ambassador, and most prominently, as Student Bar Association president. She received the Distinguished Service Award for her involvement and advocacy for her peers. She is also a member of the Order of Barristers and received the National Trial Lawyers Association Award for excellence in court room advocacy. While Rebecca presently dedicates her legal advocacy to representing injured Plaintiff's, she has previously engaged with various sectors of the legal field including volunteering at the Wills for Heros clinic, writing a court of appeals brief for the Guardian Ad Litem program, and spending her winter residency with a general practice firm. She also worked with Safe Alliance advocating for clients as they navigate the legal system seeking protection from domestic violence. Rebecca spent her summers during law school with Shankle Law Firm, devoting her career path to learning not only the practice of injury law but also the attentive care and fierce advocacy that Owner Maggie Shankle embodies. Now, as an attorney, she hopes to emulate those same principles. Rebecca is an active member of her church, proud wife to a law enforcement officer, and dog mom to a German shepherd and Husky. In her free time she enjoys Pilates, gardening, thrift shopping, and trying new coffee shops.
