Deborah G. Fiss

Debbie is the best you can get. She is knowledgeable, personable and strategically oriented throughout my consultation. I consulted with other attorneys before Debbie and she was the only one who really cared on a much deeper level, and actually wanted to help you get through this painful chapter of your life. She truly listened to my complicated case and all my needs and tailored specific strategies on the case accordingly. After the initial consultation, Debbie quickly moved forward with our action plan. Everything went accordingly to what she had predicted (the filings of the papers, the serving of the documents, etc), and they were done timely, effectively and efficiently. More importantly, since she owns the service company, there is almost no worries in terms of how and if the papers can be properly served. Debbie is always responsive during the whole process, and believe me, if you are calling because you are worried about something, she has already covered it. Debbie was also absolutely fantastic in court. The stark contrast between Debbie and the opposing counsel really proves that she is the best in the business.She followed up before the court appearance, literally held your hands during the court, and her connections in Queens goes a long way as well. And on top of that, she doesn't over charge and the fees to acquire her services are more than reasonable and definitely worth every penny. Looking back, going to that consultation with Debbie was probably the best decision I have ever made. I am really glad I have her on my side. I honestly can not imagine how things would turn out without her.

Through her compassion, knowledge and persistence Deborah Fiss saved my sanity and brought closure to the most difficult time in my life. She picked up the pieces from my first attorney's mess and got more done in 2 months than the first attorney in 18. Ms. Fiss built relationships in the Queens court system which is very important when hiring an attorney. She is an outstanding communicator whether email or phone - during nights and weekend alike. She offers "tough love" when necessary but is only steering you in the right direction, she won't tell you just what you want to hear but will be completely honest. I wish I would have hired Debbie from conception. I highly, highly recommend!

Deborah went above and beyond my expectations. Her representation for case was outstanding. Her performance was top natch and she fought for my son as well as my rights. Deborah was fair, honest and definitely get the job done. I would definitely use Deborah services again.

Searching for a divorce lawyer is something you don't always plan for, but goodness gracious was I happy to have found Debbie Fiss. She had all the attributes I was looking for in a divorce lawyer and then some!! Not only is Debbie very knowledgeable, experienced, fierce litigator and negotiator but she is also an amazing human being. She is a calming voice of rational thought while other lawyers are quick to exploit your emotions (And cash in $$$), Debbie is not afraid to keep you focus on whats most important. (In my case my children) I appreciate how Debbie positioned my case by paying attention to details, providing counseling and advise while not dragging out the case. Debbie genuinely cared about me and my children and helped us navigate around some very special circumstances. What was the end result of working with such a caring, attentive and lovely woman like Debbie? Well aside from the security of having someone on your side to safe guard your future and interest you also are guaranteed to make a lifelong friend. Thank you Debbie for helping us all grow!! (Yes even my ex as well!!) Best advise I can give someone that hires Debbie as their lawyer is once the relationship feels right (and it will!!) place all your trust in her because she truly knows what she is doing. P.S. I can't forget the entire office staff which were always ready to help, quickly respond to all my emails and calls!! Love you all!!

After searching for a lawyer and reading numerous reviews, I came across Debbie’s reviews and knew right away that she was the one for me. You see, I’m the type of person that likes to deal with people who are lively and have some spunk. Going through a divorce is tough enough, having a lawyer that’s mundane makes it tougher. Debbie was everything I needed and more. On my way to meet her for our first appointment, I thought I was surely going to have an emotional break-down in front of her. But the opposite happened. She made me feel empowered, and did so every time I met her thereafter. When I was unsure about how to handle things, Debbie talked me through (without being pushy) and kept the ball rolling. Being a good lawyer is one thing, having a great personality puts her over the top. I’m happy to have met her during this difficult period in my life and while I hope to never see her again under the same circumstances, I’m happy to know that she’s just a phone call away.

Divorce is hard so having an attorney who cares makes all the difference. From the beginning Debbie has aligned my needs and her goals, and every step of the way it has been evident. Her experience handling the courts, the opposition and even her client is why she is the best. Thank you Debbie! -jf

Debbie is FANTASTIC ! If you are reading this right now in search of an attorney you can stop now. She is it ! Debbie is knowledgeable and as everyone else here says no- nonsense. I couldn't have been happier with her representation. From the moment I hired her she went right to work, same day. I wish their were more honest, hardworking and most importantly trustworthy attorneys like herself. I personally hired Debbie after trusting her fantastic reviews online. I am happy to say they were all right. Good luck and to whoever reading this trying to find a starting point for a divorce proceeding, I would suggest looking no further and retaining Ms. Fiss ASAP !!!!

Deb Fiss showed us such kindness and respect. She made us feel as if we were the only one she was working for! Her persistence and attention was second to none. Thank You Deb for making this long awaited divorce possible!!! Don't waste your time with anyone else, Deb Fiss is the one and only. Thanks again Deb JV&VC

During the time in which Debra G. Fiss represented me in my child custody case, her hard work and dedication was clearly evident from Day One. Because of Debra's strong work ethic and vast knowledge of custody litigation cases, she was able to provide my family and I with the ability to share our child and maintain her in the home she always knew. As a concerned father who cares immensely for his one and only child, it meant the world to me to have a lawyer represent me as Debra Fiss did. I truly cannot express the gratitude we have for Debra. She is a true professional, who is very detailed in presenting all aspects of the case while ensuring her clients are fully prepared and having the patience it takes to ensure we, as her clients, are prepared. Lastly, she has a great sense of humor!!! Thank You Debra!!!

If there could be one person in my corner for a difficult divorce case, this lady is it! Debbie is an amazing attorney - caring, attentive, warm, and very detail-oriented. Her knowledge of the Queens court system is a huge asset, and her experience with both divorce and family law - and being an advocate for me was truly outstanding. I trust her legal advice, and will definitely rely on her judgement and expertise on other minor details re: the divorce. Her efficiency and effectiveness led to a satisfactory resolution.

Deborah Fiss is equally invested in all aspects of her clients: what's best for the children involved, above all, as well as both financial and emotional health. She works hard for her clients because she cares about them. And as sweet and sassy as she is on a personal level, she is assertive yet respectful during negotiations and in court. An additional benefit in my case is that while my now-ex-spouse paid triple my retainer fee for what he thought to be a hotshot firm in Manhattan, Debbie proved to be in the stronger position because our divorce was filed in Queens, and she knows all the players in that courthouse. I am absolutely satisfied with her professional results and hope to maintain a personal relationship with her as well.

I hired Debbie Fiss as my divorce attorney in September 2016. I highly recommend debbie. You will never find better service anywhere else . She is extremely prompt in getting back to her clients . She is warm with her clients and aggressive in court , the perfect combination . Most impressive is the swiftness in which she moves . She is action oriented , which will save you money in the long run , as she keeps the process moving along. Hire her . You won't regret your decision !

I had started divorce discussions with a Manhattan Divorce lawyer because I thought someone good and close to work would work best for me. My Manhattan lawyer recommended I use Debbie because she knows what she's doing (he recommends her to his friends and family) and she knows all the players in the Queens system - all of them (Judges, mediators, appraisers, etc). My ex was very combative but Debbie was still able to help us unwind 18 years of marriage and custody of our two kids in under a year. I got better custody arrangement than I expected, better child support arrangement than expected and finished proceedings just under the budget I set. I would absolutely hire her again (but hope I don't have to).

Deborah Fiss was my 1st attorney back in 1985. She dealt with several issues, and won it all for me. She was amazing. Now she will be dealing with a new issue for my family again. She's the best. I was so happy to meet with her again. I would absolutely recommend her. She stays on top of everything, and has always been great with my family.

Deborah is caring, passionate, dedicated, knowledgeable and excellent attorney to have represent me in my divorce case. She deeply care about the case, she cares about me as a person and how I am was handling it all. She is definitely someone you want on your side to help you through. Always keep you updated with progress of the case and the price was right.
