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

Excellent Lawyer - Highly Recommended

I retained Deborah’s services over three years ago once I found out that my now ex-wife and I were going to be getting a divorce. I just retired from the military and a friend of mine in the area gave me Deborah’s name as a reference saying that she was highly recommended, and she was right. When I... first met with Deborah, she listened to me and told me how it was going to be and what to expect. She is a straight shooter and tells you how it is, and she did not promise anything or try to sugar coat the possibility of losses or outcomes that I may have to accept. Thanks to Deborah’s expert advice, experience and professionalism in and out of court, I have a finalized divorce decree and a child custody agreement in place. She helped make one of the most stressful and intimidating times in my life manageable and cannot thank her enough for helping me get through it. She is and will always be my lawyer for any future family legal issues that may arise and I without a doubt would highly recommend her to anyone.

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."
