About Attorney Rebekah Ryan Main
Ms. Main has years of civil litigation experience including complex litigation, discovery, depositions, use of expert witnesses and trial, having practiced almost exclusively as a medical malpractice defense attorney right out of law school. This experience has afforded her a general civil litigation skill-set and foundational understanding of the law that is invaluable with respect to other practice areas such as family law. She brings these problem solving skills to every case.
Firm Philosophy
At Law Offices of Rebekah Ryan Main we believe that “Knowledge is Power.” With this in mind, we have developed a client-centered practice that strives to ensure that our clients are well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. We will never forget that you had your choice of attorneys when you chose us.
As a client of this firm, you will be kept well informed, you will be treated like the important client that you are and you will be billed fairly and only for work necessary to protect your interests or represent your claims. In other words, we’re not like other law firms and we like it that way.
We’re pretty sure that you’ll like it that way, too.
I've been Served!
Being served with legal papers can be stressful and frightening. Whether you’ve been served with divorce papers, custody or support papers or a lawsuit, the clock starts to run from the moment you are served.
Remember - Knowledge is power.
In most cases, you have only a limited time in which to respond (usually 30 days) and if you don’t respond, your legal rights may be affected. An early consult with a knowledgeable attorney will help you to understand your rights and your options after you’ve received legal papers.
While all legal papers can have far reaching consequences, you should be particularly careful with Restraining Orders, Contempt, Support Requests, and any Civil Complaint demanding more money than you can comfortably afford to pay. In all of these situations, a properly prepared response or answer is absolutely necessary to protect you from the consequences of default.
Even if you think that the papers were improperly served, do not simply ignore it. Seek legal advice immediately to avoid losing important legal rights.

Not all legal matters require hiring a lawyer. “Unbundled” services and limited scope representation allow you to hire a lawyer for limited purposes - such as to review a settlement agreement or to help you work out a custody and visitation schedule - without the expense of retaining an attorney to represent you for all purposes.
Give us a call today to discuss whether limited scope or “unbundled” services are appropriate for your matter.

Ms. Main “has a keen, analytical mind and a tenacious personality... There can be no doubt as to the degree of dedication she brings to her profession. Were I in a position in which I needed to hire someone upon whom I could not only depend on for high quality work but also to provide me with the unvarnished truth, I could not do better than” Rebekah Ryan Main.

Attorney Rebekah Ryan Main
On a personal note...
I truly like my job, my clients and the practice of law. I have years of civil litigation experience including complex litigation, discovery, depositions, use of expert witnesses and trial, having practiced almost exclusively as a medical malpractice defense attorney right out of law school. This experience has afforded me a general civil litigation skill-set and foundational understanding of the law that is invaluable with respect to my other practice areas such as divorce and family law.
Not all legal matters, or even most, end up in trial. But it’s always best to begin the process with an eye toward trial. It helps you to prepare your case for the absolute best settlement posture, which is in everyone’s best interests. And if you do end up at trial, you’re ready for that as well.
In addition to being an attorney, I am a mom, a grandmother, and a former professor of law. While I consider my three daughters and three grand children to be my greatest accomplishments, I am also very proud of my students, some of whom I see in court. Being a mother, I have a very child-focused approach to family law matters and I take my responsibility toward children personally.
Finding myself with some extra time in April 2020, I took the opportunity to continue my education and became certified as minors' counsel - an attorney who can be appointed by the court to represent children. This education includes child development, child psychology, and other areas that are useful in helping children during very difficult times.
I came to the practice of law a little bit later in life, after having other jobs (including being a medic for 10 years) which is how I know that law is absolutely the right occupation for me. I have met many burned-out attorneys who hate what they do. I love my work. I feel passionate about the practice of law and I take my responsibility to my clients personally. In my career, I have had the unique opportunity to practice in many areas of law, as well as exposure to interesting legal problems and the privilege of solving them for clients from all walks of life. I hope that you never need a lawyer, but if the time comes when you do please give me a call."
Medical Malpractice
Is it Malpractice?
Malpractice occurs when a medical professional (doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider) fails to comply with the standard of care and causes the patient to suffer legal damages. If you think that you may have experienced malpractice, an early consultation with an experienced attorney is absolutely necessary to ensure that your rights are protected. The statute of limitations (“deadline”) for filing of a medical malpractice complaint in most cases is only one year from the time the injury occurred.
Why Rebekah Ryan Main?
Not every bad outcome or unsatisfactory experience is malpractice. It takes experience with both medicine and the law to sort out which criticisms are actionable and which are not. That’s why choosing an attorney with both medical and legal experience is a very good idea.
The practice of law is not Rebekah Ryan Main’s first profession. She began her professional life in 1987 as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) – D, gaining both medical knowledge and patient care experience in diverse and interesting settings.
Her passion for medicine, and the “art” of emergency patient care, led her to a teaching position as an EMT skills instructor at a private college in 1995. This position afforded Rebekah the opportunity to continue learning, as well as to teach. Her desire to increase both her skills and her education resulted in additional training in defibrillation and, ultimately, a phlebotomy certification. Ten years of patient care, medical training and experience made a legal focus on medical malpractice a natural choice. Years of medical malpractice litigation experience makes Rebekah Ryan Main an excellent choice for your malpractice claim.
What to do if you think you have a claim
- Make sure that your medical needs are taken care of, seek a second opinion and get the immediate care you need.
- Gather your medical records from all providers, including doctors, hospitals, radiology and laboratory records, ambulance and physical therapy providers, etc.
- Make an appointment with an experienced attorney to discuss your case as soon as possible.
