Rebecca’s Story
Discovering her passion, Rebecca was fortunate to work with prominent Delaware lawyers for over six years at a multi-state law firm, contributing significantly at its Lewes, Delaware office. There, she broadened her expertise in estates, trusts, and business law, while delivering premier services to clients. Throughout this period, Rebecca had the honor of building friendships with prominent attorneys and professionals across various practice areas statewide and was recognized as a Delaware Today Top Attorney for five consecutive years, from 2019 to 2023.
After considerable thought and planning, Rebecca decided to establish Doyle Law, LLC, which officially opened its doors to the public in February 2024. Rebecca aimed to gather a team of like-minded, compassionate, and diligent professionals to deliver effective, efficient, and empathetic estate, trust, and business legal services. Her vision was to benefit the community and positively impact the lives of her friends and loved ones who chose to join her in this endeavor.
At Doyle Law, LLC, we are confident that our culture resonates with our clients, who regard us as their trusted legal advisors.
