Excellent Lawyer

From the first meeting with Deana, I was completely comfortable with her ability to handle my case. She was compassionate, informative, knowledgeable and above all else, available at all times via email and phone when the need arose. I have since referred Deana and her firm to other potential clients.... Deana made a difficult decision alot easier to navigate with her knowledge of the Law.

Gets the job done

Deana is very knowledgeable in many areas of law. She is trustworthy and very thorough in her work. She helped my family through very tough times. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family attorney.

The Calm in my Storm

Finding yourself in the position to need the services of a family attorney is never a pleasurable experience. This experience can quickly turn catastrophic if you make the unfortunate decision of choosing the wrong attorney. With 100% confidence, I can say that selecting Deana as your attorney will... be the best decision you ever make...she will be your calm in the midst of your storm! Her knowledge of family law is second to none, and her application of this knowledge to your case is unparalleled. Everytime I was threatened to be swept away by my anxiety and emotions, she kept me sane and grounded. She was attentive to my concerns and empathetic towards my fears. Deana approached my case as team and included me in the process. She gave me as many (or as few) details as I wanted. Her collaborative approach resulted in my firm belief that she was not just fighting for "my" family and children...she had a vested interest in my case, as my family had become her family. If you want an attorney with the perfect balance of knowledge, tenancity, attentiveness, and emphathy, Deana is the attorney for you!! Thank-you, Deana...my entire family thanks you!!!

#1 Professional Custody and Divorce Lawyer…..

Professional, polite and punctual. Deana was referred to me from my business lawyer and I am grateful for this introduction. We sadly fought a very difficult custody battle and divorce. I realized that if a lawyer gets you what you want this is not what makes them a great lawyer. Their guidance a...nd knowledge of the law becomes the tools that they must know how to deal with thru this system. Deana not only guided me through this but suggested many options of how to approach everything we needed to deal with. I highly recommend Deana as a divorce attorney and especially for her to be on your team when it comes to your children.

Incredible

Hiring Ms. Balahstsis to represent me in a complex case was hands down the best decision I could have made. Throughout my trial she was knowledgeable, hard working and persistent. Ms. Balahstsis was mindful of my dollars and always put the interest of my child first. Ms. Balahstsis came highly recomm...ended by one of the top firms in the city that I could not afford to hire and I was grateful she took on my case. She is excellent at what she does.
