Deborah G. Fiss

Deborah is a hard working and effective counselor. She is well known in the New York City Courts, and enjoys a good a rapport with judges and court personnel. Deborah is practical, smart and knows the law. She also is a quick study of people. Results-oriented, she resolves as many matters as possible... outside the courtroom; however, when the situation demands it, Deborah can stand toe-to-toe with any adversary, and do it extremely effectively. She always maintains a professional demeanor, but she does not back down if the situation requires it. Aside from her legal ability, Deborah brings her enthusiasm for life and compassion for others to the very difficult and highly charged family law area. She is a not only a good lawyer, but a nice person. I am a small business owner, and suggest Deborah for anyone who seeks my recommendation for a family lawyer who handles cases in the five boroughs of New York City.

Miss Deborah G Fiss, Esq. was referred to me by another very experienced attorney who is no longer attending the Queens county family court. I feel I am so fortunate from the bottom of my heart to have Debbie representing me in the family court for my son's custody. Debbie is very experienced attorne...y in the court system and she always answer and reply my question and concern immediately, I was surprised that one time she replied to me right away around 3am after I wrote her a email. She taught me a lot what is right and what is proper in the court system. Most important she is always on the positive side to view everything, guide me with bigger picture in future and best interest for my 2 yrs old son, helping me to go through the most difficult time in my life. Debbie always keep my expenses low to make sure that I don't waste unnecessary money in the court. I see Debbie in two sides which I love both, she is totally a Dragon Lady when she is court fighting for me and she becomes a sweetheart once she is not in the court with her smiles and her caring. Debbie taught me to take one step back that we can see a bigger and beautiful world in front of us which will benefit me the rest of life. I was worried and crying when I was in her office second time, and now I am much more confident and relax. To me, Debbie is an Angel! Debbie makes me have joy tears when I see her smiles. She is supporting me in every possible way. Also I want to mention Debbie's office assistants Anita and Ingris are so nice and make me feel very comfortable and very supportive when I called and when I was in Debbie's office. If anyone seeking an attorney in the family court, Miss Deborah G. Fiss, she is the One and she is the Best!

I retained Debbie to represent me in my divorce, and immediately she protected my legal rights, and I feel she will continue to look after the best interest of my child and I. Since my first meeting with Debbie I was convinced that she was going to be my attorney. Debbie is a personable, compassion...ate and positive person. She genuinely cares about her clients. She will not promise you the world but she will be realistic and her clients’ interests are always paramount. Her dedication to her clients is unwavering. You definitely want her to represent you and be on your side, and not as the opposing attorney. As an attorney, her confidence, experience and efficiency speaks volumes. She is able to assess a situation logically and quickly and then provide the appropriate legal advice. Debbie also established respectful and professional working relationships with opposing attorneys. It also speaks volumes when her opposing attorneys like and respect her (her AVVO peer endorsements and client reviews are spot on!). Therefore I think that Debbie is like the “divorce attorney whisperer”—she can be persuasive and achieve a desired end result that is fair and respectful to all involved (although I have seen her claws come out when it was necessary). She also has an equally caring and dedicated support staff. It is apparent that her staff enjoys working for Debbie. Moreover I was able to directly observe Debbie teach a new support staff person. Debbie genuinely wants her new hire to do well and succeed. In fact, her paralegals have worked for her for over 10 years. I feel confident that Debbie will continue to represent me well in my ongoing divorce matter. Her practice is solely dedicated to family law (divorce and separation) and child custody. She is unlike many others attorneys that are “jack of all trades,” who will take your divorce case and provide inadequate legal representation. Therefore, I recommend Debbie Fiss for any matrimonial and custody matter without reservation.

Debbie was recommended by my friend, who has experience with Queens Court System. She guides every aspect of my case with care, backed by her experience. Truly professional. She is also very fair and realistic in terms of expectations, yet always willing to go the extra mile to meet my goal. She has ...always been responsive and prompt to answer questions. Her office staff are very supportive as well. My biggest gain is, Debbie not only helps me deal with the court matter but also helps me grow as a person throughout the difficult time. She really cares. She is the right lawyer for me and I feel fortunate that I was able to find the best lawyer for my family law needs.

I went into Miss Fiss' office just about crawling. My whole life had fallen apart. She was so confident and strong and encouraging. She guided me through every step of the process and even gave me emotional guidance. I had been to another attorney who was never available and could not have cared ...less about me. Miss Fiss turned out not to be just a great lawyer but she actually cared about my case and more importantly about my children being well taken care of. I never doubted her for a minute. I saw how respected she was in the court house and that also gave me a sense of security. I am glad this whole divorce is behind me, but I never could have gotten through it without her law knowledge, her caring and the strength she kept giving me to get through this difficult time in my life.
