Excellent Lawyer!

Deborah gets the job done! We found Ms. Rosenthal to be knowledgeable, ethical, reliable and very professional. She is also accessible, always returns calls and messages promptly. We had a long and difficult journey and Deborah guided us through all the twists and turns and the end result was what w...e hoped for. Thank you, Deborah for a job well done!

Outstanding and the absolute best!

Deborah has represented me for several years now. She is the most professional attorney I have ever dealt with and the most dedicated to her work. She is ethical and has had excellent communication with me through all of the work she has done for me. I would very strongly recommend Deborah Rosenthal ...without any hesitation. She’s absolutely the best!

Totally Wonderful Experience

My Brother passed away suddenly & I was appointed Executor of his estate. Dealing w/ a complicated Last Will, acquiring Letters of testamentary, amazingly detailed estate accounting, interaction/negotiations w/ 'other' lawyers, Deborah Rosenthal handled it all so professionally, She was always av...ailable to take your calls, answered all emails promptly & always so fair in the billing . I highly recommend her .

Estate settlement with my sister

Last year I was in the middle of a four year battle with my sister who was challenging our father's Will / Trust. Suddenly my lawyer passed away due to a tragic accident, and I needed to find new counsel. I did a search for lawyers with expertise in settling Will / Trust / Estates. I viewed sever...al websites and when I came upon Ms Rosenthal's I knew I had struck gold. I learned of her thirty years of practice, and that her peers gave her outstanding marks, and clients gave her excellent reviews. I also learned that Deborah was past president, and current vice-president of N.Y. Women's Bar Association, and I was further impressed by her community service. I called Deborah, explained my predicament, and was relieved to hear her compassion, understanding, and optimism to reach a settlement which would honor the intention of my father's Last Will. After our first meeting, in which I gave her the four years of documents, Deborah quickly formulated a proposed settlement. The first offer she made was so powerful and convincing, that when my sister made a counter offer, the result was a 90% victory for my side, which we accepted, and the battle was over with dad's Will being fully realized without litigation, and amicably for both sides.

Long distance Estate handling

Having to handle my mother's Estate from Chicago it was important to find a good reliable attorney. Ms. Rosenthal came highly recommended. There was no time wasted in preparing and filing the proper paper work, resulting in a quick turn around from the State. The communication was exceptional. Her ex...pertise made the entire process including the sale of the house painless. I am very grateful she came highly recommended and I do not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation. Thank you Deborah and Kim.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
