A passionate attorney, Rebecca Rhein represents corporate clients, small business owners and entrepreneurs at Cummins Law LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio. Practicing business litigation, she handles complex commercial disputes, contract disagreements, partnership conflicts and corporate risk management. She combines strategic legal analysis with a practical approach to protect her clients' business operations and financial interests. She works tirelessly to resolve commercial challenges efficiently while advocating for her clients' long-term commercial goals.
A graduate of the University of Dayton, Ms. Rhein holds a bachelor's degree in political science with a minor in human rights and criminal justice studies. While attending the University of Cincinnati College of Law, she obtained a limited license to practice in Ohio, allowing her to work at the office of the Hamilton County Public Defender. She received her law license in 2022 and has since stayed committed to winning suitable outcomes for her clients.
Ms. Rhein’s litigation record demonstrates notable results across complex commercial, ownership and vexatious proceedings. In 2024, she helped secure a $25 million settlement, acquiring a minority business share, followed by a $950,000 pretrial settlement resolving a breach-of-agreement dispute. She also obtained an emergency temporary restraining order in Kenton County, Kentucky, removing an adverse 50% partner for $0 and successfully argued to designate a pro se plaintiff as a vexatious litigator in Ohio, earning a 2026 appellate affirmance.
Her litigation approach combines rigorous legal preparation with decisiveness, allowing Ms. Rhein to build high-impact tactical strategy. Whether securing immediate emergency relief in court or preserving major trial-level victories on appeal, she approaches every dispute focused on leveraging strength to force outcomes that align with the client’s goals. By combining creative problem-solving with an aggressive advocacy mindset, she protects her clients' financial interests, neutralizes operational threats and delivers swift, definitive results across high-stakes corporate and partner conflicts.
