Ethical, Professional, Highly recommended

I had in the past terrible experiences with divorce lawyer. Changing lawyers every time and having a detailed list of services/expenses made for my case never happened. Thus, yes I got ripped off several times. I could name the lawyers here, but this is not the place. Deborah was prompt to give me a... call. Straightforward with fees. I received a detailed bill every time with all expenses. Provided me the opportunity with an arranged payment plan and most important finalized my Divorce immediately, which others didn’t because they wanted to keep getting more money from me, eventhough the case was fair square (mutual agreement). I highly recommend her services. Her charges are average, and worth every penny spent knowing you will get results. I you are looking for a successful ethical lawyer, retain her services. You will not regret it .

Trustworthy Divorce Attorney

I would give Deborah 10 stars if there was an option. She was referred by a friend who also used her legal services, and I am so glad I trusted this referral. Deborah has been steadily working on my case for over 2 years. My case is complex and time consuming, but Deborah has never wavered in her co...mmitment to it. She is accessible and gets back to me readily, even on nights and weekends. She is consistent, patient, thinks outside the box and truly captures all the nuances and details of my complex case. Most importantly, Deborah prioritizes what is best for my children and I. I highly recommend Deborah!

A Great Family Lawyer

From the beginning Deborah was concise and at the same time interpreted the law to me. I was six years into a divorce with another lawyer who used me for a cash register, finally using his only out, “your difficult”. Deborah saw right through the problems with my prior attorney and proceeded to comp...ile the details of my case like the real and true lawyer she is! Deborah sifted through my case looking specifically for an end result that would clearly examine the facts and present them to the court. I lost my kids, my house, my car, hundreds of thousands of dollars, personal and family antiquities, because of the first Lawyer, the wrong Lawyer!! And then there was Deborah Zitomer!! With clear experience and a gift of personal connection, exactly what I needed for a Family Law Attorney after going through the “ripper offer”. Deborah led the way and cleared all the road blocks my ex’s attorney throughout to delay the process.  She was instrumental in finalizing all of the details, for example the proceeds from the sale of my home, the transfer of marital retirement funds along with clear explanations, the other sides lawyer was baffled and stunned by Deborah's expertise. Please understand me clearly, I am a true survivor of divorce for one reason only and her name is Deborah Zitomer

Great attorney

I thought I was in a cookie cutter custody case until my ex pulled out all the stops and I found myself with effectively no custody. For the past three traumatic years, Ms. Zitomer has been a tireless advocate on my behalf, not once giving up on me. Her memory is iron clad, which is extremely helpf...ul now that I have three years' worth of events accumulated. I didn't think I needed someone of Ms. Zitomer's caliber, but it turns out that I very much did need her!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Having practiced nearly 30 years, I believe the most important aspect of Courtroom work is preparation. Having had numerous Family Law matters working against and with Deb, I can state with certainty that no other attorney will be better prepared than she. Additionally, she is extremely bright, is a quick learner, and has a very good working knowledge of many non-family areas of the law which impact upon her representation of clients in Family Law matters. I would not hesitate to recommend a potential client to use her."
