Jennifer Applegate

Firm: Family Law Office of Jennifer J. Applegate
700 College Ave. , Santa Rosa , California 95404
Practice Areas: Family
Jennifer Applegate has been practicing family law in Sonoma County since 2008. After spending several years as a partner in a small firm, she now runs a solo practice out of a charming downtown office. Jennifer has a reputation as being a lawyer who's good at settling cases, and someone you don't want to go up against in court. She's committed to reaching a fair and equable settlement with a minimum of litigation, but when it's required, she goes to the mat for her clients! Jennifer understands the most effective way to present facts and arguments in court, and has a good reputation with my judges, commissioners, and colleagues. Most of all, she levels with her clients, telling them what to expect and which issues aren't worth fighting over -- so you get good value for money, and you don't make litigation even more contentious.. Consultations are offered at a reduced rate.

Rebecca Abraham

Firm: Beki Berrey Family Law
3558 Round Barn Blvd. , Santa Rosa , California 95403
Practice Areas: Family
I have always wanted to help people.  But after many years as a mid-level accounting supervisor, I felt completely unfulfilled and decided it was time to follow my childhood dream and go to law school.  I attended Empire College School of Law, in Sonoma County, California, and graduated in 2011.  I took the California State Bar Exam in July 2011 and was admitted to the bar in December 2011.. I have been a single mom for most of my children's lives.  I have been through divorce and I have been through custody cases.  I have a first hand perspective of what it's like to be a family law client.  Having this experience allows me to truly understand you.  It also allows me to have a real perspective on not only what you are going through emotionally, but also what you can expect throughout the family law process.. I record a weekly video on YouTube where I answer family law questions or give helpful tips about family law related matters, called Coffee Breaks with Beki.  I keep the videos between 10-15 minutes, so that you can watch them on your coffee break!. When I'm not practicing law, I enjoy watching my son play sports or going on hikes / adventures with my husband.  I hold state records for powerlifting in the USAPL for my age/weight class and enjoy body building.

Practice Areas: Business , Family , Insurance , Real Estate , Real Estate, Real Estate
I love living and practicing law in Sonoma County! I have been practicing law since 2002. I grew up in Novato, CA and attended Santa Rosa J.C. then transferred to Arizona State University studying English and Political Science for upper division and then staying for law school, but I always knew I would return to the Bay Area after law school. I enjoy all aspects of litigation, but my favorite part of practicing law is the research and writing. I enjoy exploring Sonoma County and Northern California with my husband Steve. I love traveling near and far when I can (trying to get at least a few days of Snowboarding in each season), but also enjoy weekends at home with movies or a good book.
