About the Author

After working for foreclosure firms for about two years and seeing the

real-life impact of foreclosure on individuals and families, Rebecca A.

Taylor decided to put to use the knowledge she had gained of the foreclo-

sure system for the benefit of the people.

Ms. Taylor grew up in Newark, Delaware. She obtained a B.A. de-

gree from Rutgers College in American Studies. After college, Ms. Taylor

moved to New York City and began work as a paralegal in 1997. She

completed temporary assignments with some of New York’s top law firms,

such as Sullivan & Cromwell, Skadden Arps, and Rogers & Wells. Ms.

Taylor served in the 82d Airborne Division of the U.S. Army from 2000

to 2001 and received an honorable discharge.

Ms. Taylor entered Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law

Center in 2001. She earned her J.D. degree and was admitted to the Florida

Bar in 2004. Ms. Taylor earned the top award for pro bono service at

graduation for her services as a summer law clerk with the Palm Beach

Circuit Court. Over her career as an attorney, Ms. Taylor has focused on

litigation, practicing in family law, landlord-tenant law, commercial liti-

gation, guardianships, appellate work, property rights, consumer advo-

cacy, tort law, and foreclosures. Ms. Taylor currently resides in the Phila-
