Deborah G. Zitomer a true counselor

Deborah is representing me during my divorce process, pre through - post divorce. She is very smart, knows the law and proper interpretation. She seems to be well liked and respected by her peers whom we have met through the process (not necessarily opposing counsel however). I also like her as a per...son as she is real and tells it as it is. Deborah is a true counselor with great advice on when to be aggressive and when to let things slide based on intelligent analysis vs. emotional responses. She is also very computer savvy both for research and communication. I highly recommend Deborah for who she is and what she has done for me and not based on the outcome/results of the divorce as that is not controlled by your attorney.

Outstanding !!!

I retained Deborah Zitomer to defend me in divorce complicated by a long marriage, many children, business ownership and previous (abandoned) divorce filings. Prior to selecting Deborah Zitomer, I interviewed several lawyers who, during my introductory interview, concluded the matter had a foregone ...outcome which was not acceptable to me. Deborah Zitomer discussed everything with me with an open mind and provided detailed explanations and advice in a language I (a layman) could understand. On her website and placed in her office was the motto, "Divorce with Dignity." She upheld this philosophy at every stage of my case. I was never asked to degrade my spouse, children or my relationship with them. At each hearing, Deborah Zitomer did a stellar job which I believe was the result of her giving my case detailed examination and expertly applying her extensive knowledge and experience to the specific legal issues while keeping the process respectable. I was never asked to stoop to the degrading approach practiced by the opposing attorneys. The complicating circumstances of my case involved issues far outside divorce, child support and custody. Through the application of her broad knowledge and the expert advice of her legal associates, Deborah Zitomer was able to provide strong, logical and in-depth defense and an outcome with which I was extremely pleased. For me, being served with a complaint, walking into the court room and the many other steps in the legal process was extremely intimidating. Deborah Zitomer gave my apprehensions appropriate consideration and in-turn I developed complete trust in her abilities and judgment. I was never let down or disappointed. I would recommend her to my family and friends and will continue to entrust with her any of my future family legal issues.

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."
