About Rebecca G.
Rebecca G. Pontikes earned a B.A. in political science from Lasell College in 1990 and completed her J.D. at the University of Michigan in 1994. Her undergraduate studies grounded her in the mechanics of government and policy. Law school deepened that foundation and introduced the skills central to advocacy: legal research, brief writing and oral argument.
She is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions allow her to represent clients in state courts and to handle matters that proceed to the federal appellate level. Admission to the First Circuit also shapes the procedural and strategic demands that appear in her work.
Pontikes built her practice in the private sector and now works from Pontikes Law LLC. Her practice brings together courtroom work and appellate procedure. She prepares pleadings, manages case development and files briefs when appeals are required. The mix of trial and appellate responsibilities affects how cases are investigated and presented from the outset.
Her background in political science and a Michigan legal education inform a methodical approach to cases. She emphasizes careful fact-gathering, clear legal analysis and written advocacy. On procedural questions she draws on experience in both state and federal settings, and she adapts filings to the differing rules of courtrooms at each level.
Clients see a lawyer whose practice is concentrated in Massachusetts and who can act on their behalf before the First Circuit when a matter reaches federal appellate review. She maintains a private practice at Pontikes Law LLC, where she concentrates on representing clients in Massachusetts courts and on matters before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
