Excellent Divorce attorney
From the moment I called for a consult with Tanis, I felt sure she was the right attorney for me. Having been through a divorce before, I knew what I wanted and needed. She provided excellent advice, realistic expectations, and all with timely responses, a comforting demeanor, and great negotiating skills. I was extremely satisfied with my settlement and would highly recommend Tanis Deitch for anyone going through the unpleasant experience of Divorce. Tanis made it MUCH easier, is empathetic and understanding, highly experienced and works hard for her clients. Her support staff is great at getting back to you quickly, explains everything clearly, and also made the process that much easier.

Divorce/ realestate
Tanis, with her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those who I care about most. She helped me through a bad divorce 23 years ago, a multitude of sound advice throughout the years, and a recent dragged out realestate closing she and her wonderful team got me to the finish line! My family and I are eternally grateful for your services! I highly recommend Deitch & Perone! Luanne Kiyler

Happy condo seller
It was a pleasure having Tanis as my lawyer for my real estate closing. She was thorough, knowledgeable and easily reached. She is also very pleasant to deal with. She was great at being in touch with the buyer's attorney and with the real estate agent. She made the closing stress-free and easy for me. I highly recommend Tanis Deitch as an attorney.

Excellent Service!!
From the start of my divorce process Tanis was the utmost professional. This attorney takes pride in being efficient. Her team is very reliable and always there to help. I never did feel that I was in jeopardy of a bad outcome with her and sure enough, I could not have asked for a better one. Thanks Tanis for your professionalism.

Satisfied Divorcee
I was referred to Tanis by a co-worker after learning that my wife was filing for divorce. Tanis is extremely knowledgeable and is well respected within Family court. She was able to get me what I wanted as far as custody and visitation with my daughter. Tanis has gone above and beyond what my expectations were, answering questions even after my final judgement of divorce was given. She made the process easier. I trust Tanis with any issues regarding family court manners.

Tanis Deitch review
My first exposure to Tanis and her staff was an adoption of a child. Through this process all steps were done both efficiently and methodically which is a testimony to her abilities as an experienced attorney. That said, it was not just the process and the favorable outcome that would keep me going back for future legal needs. I feel tremendous courtesy and comfort while dealing with Tanis and her staff, which is something that is welcome when dealing with complex legal issues. Tanis will listen to you before rendering her opinion, and will continue to discuss alternatives with you to reach a sound objective and potential solution. I highly recommend Tanis and her office for your legal needs.

Amazing Lawyer
Tanis significantly helped me in my son's special immigrant juvenile case. We went through multiple lawyers who told us that our situation did not meet the criteria for the sij status even though it did. Tanis said with confidence that we not only met the criteria but we had a great chance of winning the case. She clarified all of our concerns and explained everything that needed to be done. Tanis is highly knowledgeable and very kind. Debbie was also a great help! She kept us updated and in touch with Tanis and she also assisted us in any way she could. Both Tanis and Debbie were very comforting and kind. I am extremely grateful for her help. I would highly recommend Tanis!

Amazing! I hired her to represent me in a closing , I’m a physician and experienced professionalism at the highest levels with Tanis and staff, especially Arlene. Tanis walked me through the process with clarity , professionalism and patience throughout. She and Arlene answered ALL my questions and quickly too! Returned all my calls and emails. They never made me feel like I was bothering or annoying them, on the contrary, they kept saying don’t hesitate to call or email us with questions. Tanis alleviated the stress I was experiencing to the point I felt like I was on auto-pilot. Tanis and her staff eased my anxiety, not just with kind words but with actual information from her vast knowledge of the law. I can’t say enough! Not just in the field of law but in any professional discipline I’ve been involved in, Tanis is at the top with her staff members , Especially Arlene. Tanis stands up for you as though you were a member of her family. I hope for her and staff many many years of success!!!

Excellent Attorney
I would recommend Tanis to anyone. I hired Tanis over 3 years ago for a post divorce alimony issue with my ex husband. For various reasons, things dragged on for over 3 years. Tanis was there for me every step of the way and fought for everything I asked her to. We were in court several times for regular hearings and an appeal. Then we had a plenary hearing and finally mediation. No matter what road block my ex or his attorney threw at us, Tanis handled it professionally and was very understanding to my feelings and frustrations. My case was finally settled at the end of May. My only regret is that I didn't know about Tanis for my divorce, or I would have definitely hired her back in 2003.

Expert Giudance in Family Matters
This is the second time the Tanis, Arlene and Debbie team worked with me to reach my goal to help my family members (first my parents and now my son) step into the future more successfully. I know my parents would have approved of our most recent purchase. The legal guidance I received through every unexpected step was greatly appreciated. Looking forward to working with them again in the near future!

Divorce and Custody case
Tanis is a fantastic lawyer! I moved here from another state and contacted Tanis after finding her on this site. With in a few months we were able to get a child support order and custody order in place. Since I had just moved up here I had to wait 12 months before my actual divorce. Tanis really took the time to hear my concerns and address them. She fought for what I deserved not what was being offered by the other party. When it came time for the actual divorce proceedings, all of the details were done. Custody, Visitation, property, child support, all of the things you might not even think of were taken care of in a timely matter. I have heard some people say that their lawyer is only interested in the money, but that is not Tanis. She really cares about you as a person and helping you through your situation. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce, especially if custody is involved. She will push for what's right, but she will also advise you when to compromise. Ultimately though she will let you make the decision. Tanis and her staff really made a difference in my life and guided me through a emotionally charged situation with grace and class. She made my divorce an easier process than I had anticipated.

An excellent attorney
Tanis has been my attorney since my divorce in 2007. I had to retain her again in 2012 when my ex husband sued me for full custody. It was the most difficult time in my life and she was so caring and compassionate. She is not the typical attorney who is just concerned with racking up a bill. Tanis advised me and cared about my well being during a very difficult situation. I would recommend her to anyone because she is an excellent attorney and really cares about her clients.

Tanis is in it for the long haul.
I hired Tanis Deitch in August of 2015. She helped me every step of the way with my divorce. She was available to answer all of my questions. If she wasn't in the office she would call me back within hours. My divorce was final in September of 2016. She worked with my X's attorney to get a fair settlement so we didn't have to spend excess money on a drawn out court case. The final PSA was fair. Unfortunately, my X did not hold up his end of the bargain. She was there every step to ensure that I got what was owed to me. She made sure she was in court and conversing with the judge about what was occurring. Had she not been there I would not have gotten my settlement due to me. I've heard horror stories of attorney's dragging their feet and not filing paperwork in a timely fashion. Not Tanis! Tanis and Debbie (her secretary) always filed documentation and kept me informed. Tanis continually monitors the progress of my situation and genuinely cares that I am receiving my payments and documentation. I would recommend Tanis in a heart beat and I'm so glad so is my attorney!

Tanis Deitch is an excellent attorney. Her strong intellect, in-depth knowledge of the law, and impressive lawyering skills, make her one of the most skilled attorneys in her field. She handled my case perfectly and kept me informed every step of the way. What I didn't understand, she explained clearly to me. Her paralegal support staff is also excellent! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Divorce Attorney
After meeting Mrs. Deitch for our consultation, I knew then and there that I was in good hands. She was very professional and forthright with me. I was kept abreast every step of the way. Divorce is a very emotionally draining undertaking and having an attorney like Mrs. Deitch, made my process less stressful. I could not have chosen a more dedicated and compassionate attorney and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking representation.
