Amazing Attorney

Debra handled my case in Family Court for an issue that was very daunting for me to resolve. Her attention to detail and communication as well as her understanding meant more to me than words can express. Having an attorney who not only cares, but will address all issues for you is priceless during a...ny litigation. Thank you Debra for all you’ve done! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an attorney with unsurpassed knowledge of the law, is fair and represents her client beyond measure.

Excellent attorney

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of attorneys. After being burned by other attorneys I retained Ms. Welsh. She represented me fairly and I prevailed with her help. She did not nickel and dime me to death. Professional in every manner. She answered her phone and returned emails and she never blew me off. Un...like other attorneys, she never acted like she was better than you and always listened to my concerns and explained everything in detail. Very professional!!

Professional attorney, attentive and delivering quality work and legal advice

Debbie was a great addition to the Petroske Law Firm. She was assigned my case from the lead partner and quickly familiarized herself, showing strong leadership. She was extremely diligent, detail-oriented, maintained an open line of communication and kept me abreast of any issues arising and needin...g attention. She was pragmatic and ultimately worked out a settlement , thus avoiding a protracted and painful litigation. I was delighted to have her as my attorney over the last few months.

My divorce lawyer...

Going through a divorce is not only difficult, painful and expensive.....it is overwhelming....Ms Welsh was great about explaining all the details in a way I can understand them. She constantly had to deliver news that was unwelcoming, as it is in most divorces. She showed compassion, empathy and m...anaged to "cool" me down. She was very reachable, which to me was comforting and important, I never had to wait long for responses. This process is long and at times excrutiating....and Ms Welsh was my calm in my "personal" storm. She helped me "see" reason time and time again in very unreasonable circumstances. I would highly recommend her services.
