Not knowing how to navigate through and custody or divorce can be an emotional nightmare. I was lucky enough to meet with Deana and that she wanted to take on the challenge of my multi-state case. She took the case and along the way guided me through this journey that we never think would ever be our... own. She is your voice, when you didn't know you had one. She is prepared for every twist and turn. your case might take. She always had a plan b, but never needed to put it in play. Deana fights for what is right, for justice within the confines of the law. She is relentless I her persuit and successful in finding her clients a victory. Let's just say you need to hire her before the opposing party does. I can't thank her enough- I was in the best hands

I, unfortunately, was involved in a complex, multi-state, time sensitive, case involving two children which required emergency custody and jurisdiction, etc. It was a nightmare and seemed dauntingly hopeless. I was referred to Deana by another attorney and I cannot be more satisfied. She is incre...dibly knowledgeable and effective. In fact, and I know this may not have been appropriate but I'm a layperson so I get a pass, I ran into our presiding judge a few month after our case ended at a restaurant. I thanked him for his ruling and updated him on the success of the children. He remembered the case and complimented Deana - said she was a wonderful attorney and litigator. Fast forward years later, a friend of mine was in a similar complex custody situation so I referred Deana. Same awesome results. She is truly a gifted attorney and her drive for justice is unstoppable.
