Partner, Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders

Rebecca Fleming is an experienced litigator and partner at Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders. Her litigation practice focuses on Family Law, but she also has experience in the areas of personal injury, insurance defense and general civil litigation.

Because of the sensitive nature of the family law practice, Fleming has developed a unique appreciation for the emotional complexities of family law issues, whether the case involves a divorce after several decades of marriage or an unmarried couple with a child in common and treats all clients with the utmost respect and dignity while they face the most personal issues that a court case can involve. Believing that the parties are in the best position to make determinations regarding their children and the division of their assets, she explores settlement options, including mediation and collaborative practice, prior to trying a case.
