Debra Rae Mehaffie

This lawyer practices on her own, and cannot handle the workload and her personal life. She took short cuts that made her workload easier, but allowed my ex to move to another state with my children. Often she would complain about her personal family life while discussing the case. In the end I had t...o fire her and find a new attorney. However, the incompetence she showed had already damaged my case.

Since my initial consultation for separation and divorce in December 2014 through the present custody issues Debra mehaffie continues to consistently provide effective efforts and advice in my case. Each step in the process she has made sure I get the most value the best use of her time. Debra's expe...rienced advice allowed me to confidently make the many heavy decisions required during difficult circumstances for my family. We achieved great results. Specifically : - I secured a PFA against my now ex wife - I retained occupancy and possession of the family home. - I got 50/50 physical and legal custody of my children. - I was advised and protected from an unfounded investigation from Child and Youth Services, Dauphin County - I received a fair reduction in support amount and expenses in response to a filing with the Domestic Relation Office for an increase. Debra has demonstrated not only her knowledge of the legal requirements but also a familiarity with the individuals required to carry out the tasks. This is valuable to all her clients. I'm very happy to have Debra Mehaffie representing me.

Attorney Mehaffie has proven herself an excellent choice in handling my divorce. When selecting an attorney I had great concerns regarding my custody rights, financial issues and costs. Attorney Mehaffie was able to address these concerns to my satisfaction. In practice and proceedings, she has bee...n able to represent my rights with great care and thoughtfulness. I have been repeatedly impressed with her professionalism, timeliness, advocacy and concern for my case. I personally recommend her as counsel for anyone who finds themselves facing a family law issue.
