Debra is professional, compassionate and very thorough. I retained Debra for my divorce 11 years ago. She responds to questions in a timely manner, understands the client\'s concerns and provides excellent service.

Great Lawyer

I originally hired Debra about 10 years ago to handle my divorce. Since then she has handled child support and college tuition issues for me. Debra is very dependable and professional. She is a compassionate person and truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend Debra.

Avvo Rating

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.
