The guidance and expertise needed

From 2008 Deana has continued to guided me through the custody and child support proceedings. As life continues to change, Deana seamlessly represents me in a professional and courteous manner; both in the courtroom and during our discussions. Her assessments and recommendations have proved to be a...micable and attainable for both parties. Ultimately enabling my child to be raised in the best environment possible. I absolutely recommend her services for custody and child support.

Always in your corner

My Aunt and I found Deana through reviews online after being extremely dissatisfied with the attorney we had hired to represent me in my case for child support and primary custody. Our first meeting with her really opened our eyes, and knowing my child's future was on the line, we put our deposit dow...n that day. Deana set realistic expectations for how long the matter would take, which was disappointing, but accurate. The difference between Deana and the "other guy" in court is that she's more experienced, more aggressive and smarter. Outside of court she's a loving mother just like me, and called me the first weekend my daughter was away to see how I was doing. If you have already been to family court, you know how the most minor, ridiculous, things can throw your case back for months. There has been more than one instance in which Deana has refeused to charge me for her time. Deana will use every dollar honestly to fight for you and your child.
