Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Rebecca Hope Fischer is the Founder of Rebecca H. Fischer, P.A., a private practice dedicated to Collaborative Process family law, family mediation, estate planning, probate, and guardianship. A Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator and Collaboratively trained and accredited attorney, Rebecca is widely recognized for guiding families toward peaceful, out-of-court resolutions that preserve dignity, reduce conflict, and support long-term stability. Her practice places particular emphasis on families with children who have special needs, with a focus on minimizing emotional disruption while promoting continuity, security, and well-being. Her work is grounded in enduring values of family first, kindness, strong relationships, honesty, integrity, fairness, and justice.
With more than four decades of legal experience, Rebecca earned her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles in 1982 and has practiced law for over 43 years. She began her career in corporate and banking law before establishing her own firm in 1993. Over time, her practice evolved from employment discrimination law into estate planning, probate, guardianship, and family law. For the past 20+ years, her primary focus has been on Collaborative Process and mediation, emphasizing resolution over litigation and helping families reach constructive agreements outside of the courtroom.
Rebecca’s professional excellence has been consistently recognized throughout her career. She is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell and has been selected for inclusion in Florida Super Lawyers for more than ten years. She has also received numerous regional and national honors acknowledging her commitment to ethical practice, client-centered advocacy, and leadership in alternative dispute resolution.
In addition to her legal practice, Rebecca is deeply engaged in professional leadership and community service. She has served as Immediate Past President of the Collaborative Family Law Institute (Miami), Past President-Elect and Board Member of the Florida Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and is an active member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, as well as the Florida and California Bar Associations.
Her volunteer leadership spans decades and reflects a strong commitment to community development and education. Rebecca has served as Past President of the Broward County Jewish National Fund, Chair of the Central Arava Task Force for Jewish National Fund, Past President of the Women’s Division of the Broward County Jewish Federation, Past President of the Broward County AIPAC, and Past President of Kesher School, a Jewish day school serving children with special needs. Through these roles, she has supported initiatives focused on education, advocacy, cultural connection, and services for vulnerable populations.
Rebecca attributes her success to a deep commitment to her clients and a genuine passion for her work. She is driven by a desire to serve families with honesty, integrity, and compassion, while remaining consistently informed on advancements in Collaborative Process to ensure she delivers the most effective and thoughtful support possible.
The best career advice she has ever received is to find a balance between work and family and to keep friends close. This guidance has remained central throughout her career, shaping both her professional decisions and personal priorities.
To young women entering the legal profession, Rebecca encourages them to prioritize family, choose a practice area that supports balance, and establish clear boundaries to protect long-term well-being. She also recommends exploring Collaborative law and mediation, which provide meaningful, client-centered work while offering a more sustainable and fulfilling career path compared to traditional litigation-heavy practices.
Rebecca recognizes that one of the greatest challenges in her field is maintaining balance between family life and the demands of a legal practice. The emotional and mental intensity of the work requires structure, boundaries, and intentional self-care. At the same time, she sees a meaningful opportunity to model a healthier and more sustainable way of practicing law—one that supports professional excellence without sacrificing personal well-being.
The values most important to Rebecca in both her professional and personal life are family, kindness, fairness, and justice. She believes strong relationships are built on compassion and respect, and she carries this philosophy into every aspect of her work with clients and her broader community involvement. Leading with empathy while remaining grounded in integrity remains at the core of her practice.
Through her legal practice and extensive volunteer leadership, Rebecca Hope Fischer continues to strengthen families, promote peaceful resolution, and build more compassionate and resilient communities across Florida and beyond.
