Rebecca Bell-Stanton is a Partner with nearly twenty years of experience in representing both plaintiffs and defendants. Her primary practice at Carpenter & Schumacher, P.C. is in the class action litigation field, representing clients on a number of product liability and consumer claims across the United States.

Rebecca’s dedication to her clients in high-exposure and high-profile disputes in federal and state courts can be seen in both appellate and trial litigation in a broad range of catastrophic tort cases involving products, consumer rights, trucking, construction, deceptive trade practices, and personal injury matters.

Prior to attending law school, Rebecca was the competitive coach for the highly successful Speech, Debate, and Oral Interpretation team at Lee High School in Midland, Texas. Her competitive spirit began with her own successes in state and national speech and debate competitions both in high school and through college including a national win in student congress national qualification, Junior College National Champion and Debater of the Year.

Rebecca has handled complex multi-party cases across the United States including Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, and Arizona. Such cases include wrongful death lawsuits and catastrophic injury damages, including a verdict in excess of $10,000,000 in favor of her injured clients.

In addition to handling complex employment litigation on behalf of exploited workers from differing labor groups, Rebecca prides herself on the unique preparedness required to assist railroad workers in recovering compensation under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act.
