Do not even bother calling her. She's KNOWS nothing about law.

Apparently she went to UDC for law school. I wish I knew that before calling her it would have saved me the phone call. She's not knowledgeable in anything that has to do with Real Estate Law. She's also has poor communication skills. She's not very professional, I should have known by the Verizon ri...ngback tone that played that I was in for trouble. What attorney gives out their personal cellphone number? That just screams unprofessional. Long story short she gave me terrible advice about what to do with a eviction suit. I thank god that I called another attorney who gave me the proper advice and is taking on my case. Which it turns out I still can file which is something Debra said that I could not do. Maybe she's just lazy or maybe it's the fact that she has a poor legal education. Don't waste your time or money on her. She is the worst.

Excellent Job

Mrs. Oliver did a amazing job with my case. I was able to recieve the custody I was looking for for my son. She was very reliable, personable, and helpful. She gave prompt attention to my case and worked to solve all issues and answer any questions I had. She was not only a great lawyer but a great p...erson in general always asking about my son and his well being. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone.

Custody

She treated me with respect when I was going through a difficult custody case. She was knowledgeable and explained the process to me. She handled my needs promptly and effectively. She kept me advised of the status of the case throughout and after the hearing. She helped me to understand my leg...al rights. She helped protect me. This had a big impact on the future of my family especially my children. I FEEL LIKE A STAKE OF HEAVY BRICKS WERE REMOVED FROM ME!!! THANK YOU!!
