I am a current client. She got me probation for a petit larceny case that I would have gotten a violation for if not for her assistance. I liked her services because she kept me calm and didn't scare me into hiring her like other lawyers do. She did her job well.

Professional, kind, honest and tough as an old boot.
I knew, from the very outset, that I made a wise decision when I engaged Ms. Blum. She is the consummate professional, she really cares about you and will go to the mat to defend you. She is kind and compassionate, but she WILL be direct and give you an honest assessment of whatever the nature of you...

Beyond a attorney, an amazing person !
I worked with Deborah for over three years on my custody case and she guided me through the process, which times was extremely painful, but in the end , my trust and faith in her, provided an amazing result! I recommend her 100%
