Biography

I earned my bachelor’s degree in English and Political Science from the University of Florida in 2003 and obtained my Juris Doctor from the Penn State Dickinson School of Law in 2006. As the spouse of a Navy active-duty service member, I have over twenty years of first-hand experience with the challenges of military life. This experience has fueled my passion for advocating on behalf of military service members and their families, working to ensure they have access to the resources and support they need. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and four children to explore all 50 U.S. States. I am also a devoted Florida Gators fan.

Thank you ProVet legal with representing me on a HLR! The team did everything right, professional, and well communicated. Did not drag out the process, my appeal was decided within four months. Thank you for accepting my claim and doing your best! Highly recommend a flawless process dealing with the VA.

I was at 90% with the VA giving me the run around. I reached out to ProVet Legal and Rebecca was able to get me over the hump. I’m now rated at 100% P$T with 3 years of back pay. I highly recommend Rebecca.

The ProVet Legal team and Rebecca did an absolute amazing job for my family’s case. She went above and beyond what I’d expect for an attorney. She kept us involved every step of the way and gave us monthly follow-ups about where in the process our case was. Definitely give them a call and talk to their team of professionals!

Many veterans earned disability benefits, we make sure they get them.

I founded ProVet Legal, P.A. to provide top-notch service to veterans and their families seeking disability and survivor benefits from the VA. My mission with ProVet Legal is deeply personal. I am the granddaughter of three veterans, including my maternal grandmother, who served in the Waves before women were able to join the Navy. I met my husband in Afghanistan when I served with the U.S. Department of State to support our military’s efforts with Operation Enduring Freedom.

I understand the physical and mental stresses of training and deployment, as well as the unparalleled sense of purpose and camaraderie that can only be forged in a combat zone. When my husband retired, I got accredited with the VA’s Office of General Counsel to represent Veterans with Service-Connected Disability claims. I began by helping my husband and some of his buddies navigate the VA claims process. I quickly realized that the benefits system is complex and can be confusing, even for an attorney.

Veterans navigating it on their own can get lost in all the paperwork and often walk away from benefits they deserve out of frustration or fear that the VA might take away what they have already won. Since 2019, I have been representing veterans and their families full-time, successfully helping hundreds of veterans win their VA claims. I take pride in helping veterans tell their stories in a way that the VA will understand and appreciate. I look forward to the opportunities to continue to serve those who have risked everything to serve our country.
