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!!!

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.
