Mediation in a divorce not of my choosing.

Deborah made an extremely terrible life event into something bearable. I never imagined in my worst nightmare getting divorced and becoming a single parent of three children. When my wife filed she was very angry and hired a nasty lawyer. We met Deborah at a mediation regarding custody. She helpe...d us through that event and recommended what was best for the children. Because of this positive experience, I was able to get my wife to agree to mediation regarding the financial settlement. Deborah worked with us to develop a plan that was fair and again protected the children's interest. She was able to calm my wife down when she became emotional and angry and got us to focus on the end game. Her management of the mediation kept us from getting bogged down in unnecessary detail that really didn't matter. She was also very supportive for me to get through this nightmare that I never would have imagined having to go through. The divorce is still very stressful because I still hope that my wife will get the help she needs and return to the kids and me. I can't control that. Deborah was instrumental in getting me to a place that resulted in a stable situation for my children. That was my main goal which she helped me achieve. If you ever find yourself in a situation not of your making, I would recommend Deborah's help in making the best of a bad situation.

Excellent Attorney!

Deborah Brand was amazing to work with. She handled my complicated divorce with excellent professionalism, knowledge, emotion and efficiency. She went above and beyond what I expected as I work with attorneys and had a predisposed notion. She never once wasted my time and never overbilled. I am c...ompletely happy with the work she did for me and still refer her to everyone I know going through a divorce. She knows how to get the job done and will make you feel comfortable and informed the entire process.

An attorney focusing on what is in the best interest of client and children.

Attorney Deborah Brand is a sharp, experienced attorney looking out for your best interest. She seeks resolution as opposed to dragging out conflict. Knowledgeable in all aspects of divorce and custody. A true asset. Does not over inflate her rates or over charge for services. I would be lost wi...thout her legal advice and insight. I highly recommend !!
