This attorney performed remarkably to say the least. I was issued a PFA following a domestic catastrophe. After 3decades plus of marriage, I find myself in court in an adversary scenario with my spouse. I was extremely discouraged, depressed, anxiety filled etc. Enter attorney Canterbury, file folder in hand. Her approach was determined but gentle. Humble. Obviously of serious intellect, but never advertising it. She spoke the common mans English ( with a shoeshine ) she IMMEDIATELY placed me at ease. She explained in great detail the course of action she had charted. My son was at my side and she made him all inclusive in the conversation. Ms. Canterbury displayed no ego, or the need to talk through or over us. She has an excellent ear, listening, absorbing and never interrupting. Patient. She assured me when all was said and done , we would be in a better place. When it was time, she made her way down the corridor to meet with opposing council to attempt to negotiate and settle the case. After a few tripsto the opposition and back, we had an agreement with conditions. I won't go into detail except to say the PFA was dropped and the additional conditions we could live with. beyond our expectations. This attorney delivered big time. I recommend her beyond recommendations. This case was no easy endeavor. She persevered with honesty, dignity, and maybe most of all, an unequaled bed side manner. I was so overwhelmed and impressed with her that I composed a little ditty before exiting the courthouse. Here it is. Council Canterbury came to town,documents in hand,resolution bound. She arrived with talent and pure social grace, her professional approach set the pace. The task at hand was a bit of a chore, she accomplished it and a whole lot more Experienced and wise beyond her years ,she calmed my spirit and alleviated my fears. The remainder of the mission is up to me, I ENDORSE Rebecca Canterbury whole heartedly.
I got a PFA against me from my wife. I am new to Usa and my hearing was 31st may. I tired many attorney and couldn't schedule an appointment with anyone since it was very close to my hearing date. Attorney Spivak scheduled an appointment on memorial day since my case was close to hearing. Rebecca and Spivak promised me that we will fight for this case to get dropped.
