REBECCA CARLSON | Co-Founder & Equity Partner
Attorney Rebecca Carlson is a powerhouse in family law, widely recognized for her sharp litigation skills, strategic negotiation, and unwavering dedication to her clients. After making a name for herself as one of Nevada’s top family law attorneys, Rebecca expanded her practice to Southern California, bringing her passion for advocacy to families in Oceanside, Carlsbad, and throughout San Diego County.
Unlike many attorneys who practice across multiple areas of law, Rebecca Carlson devotes her practice exclusively to family law. This focus allows her to stay at the forefront of custody disputes, divorce proceedings, child support matters, and spousal support cases, ensuring her clients receive the most informed and effective representation possible.
As a result of her dedication, Rebecca quickly rose through the ranks at Carlson & Work, earning name-partner status in less than three years. Her reputation as a skilled trial attorney and fierce advocate has set her apart as a leader in the field.
After years of success in Northern Nevada, Rebecca made the decision to open Carlson & Work’s Southern California office—not just to expand the firm’s reach, but to be closer to her family and the coastal lifestyle she loves. Now based in Carlsbad, CA, she enjoys helping local families navigate the complexities of divorce, child custody, and high-conflict family law cases with the same tenacity and commitment that built her outstanding reputation in Nevada.
Rebecca Carlson was born and raised in Las Vegas. She attended the University of Nevada, Reno, graduating cum laude with a dual degree in Communications and Political Science. She went on to earn her law degree from Chapman University, Dale E. Fowler School of Law, where she attended on an academic scholarship and specialized in alternative dispute resolution and mediation.
Rebecca is licensed to practice in both California and Nevada, giving her a unique advantage in multi-state family law matters. She has successfully litigated at both the state and federal levels and has worked as an associate attorney for a multi-state law firm.
When she’s not advocating for her clients, you’ll likely find Rebecca soaking up the sun at the beach, hiking the California coast, or spending time with her two beloved dogs. A true outdoor enthusiast, she loves exploring new trails, enjoying the Oceanside shoreline, and spending quality time with family.
Rebecca’s dedication to her clients is unmatched, and she takes pride in providing personalized, results-driven legal representation to families throughout Oceanside, Carlsbad, and the greater San Diego area.
