Dedicated and Team Player

I’m very grateful for Deana Balahtsis legal representation and her Law Firm. Prompt, articulate, and always available to address my concerns questions. We reached a nice settlement with Family Court in my particular case. It was a challenge for the team and want to thank them for all their har...d work and wonderful services!!! Yes, I would strongly recommend. Her courtesy, professionalism, and "real" attitude is what is needed when all else looks like a terrible scripted drama.

BEST DIVORCE LAWYER IN TOWN! VERY PROFESSIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE!

I just would like to take a moment to thank God for allowing me to meet such an extraordinary Lawyer who had me ( and my daughter’s interest at heart) during our most challenging time of divorce. After meeting with Deanna, I was initially convinced and moved my case from a previous lawyer who did not... build that confidence in me. I can honestly say the change was a rewarding one. Deanna is an experienced lawyer at heart. She made sure I was making the right move and decision every step of the way and she and her team were always reliable in responding to my concerns and gave timely updates on the case. Many people who have been through divorce understand how traumatic it can become, especially when things can turn out in any directions. Deanna assured and proven to me that I was in good hands and her care was demonstrated the entire time of the divorce proceedings. The stressful time I was going through was made so much easier with all of you guiding me through the process, and I would definitely recommend your firm to anyone anywhere; actually I recently did just that with a friend who had divorce concerns. Upon settlement of my case, I felt that it was a fair settlement and that Deanna did everything in her power to ensure her process had truly been as smooth and comfortable as possible. Thank you so much for your help with our situation, you handled everything with professionalism, dignity and compassion, just what people need in stressful situations. Thank you again, for your time and your staff's time in resolving the case so quickly and in a professional manner. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

#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.
