AMAZING!!!

She was able to help me finally learn and grow with the financial trouble I was in and now I look at things financially differently. She is also an absolute sweetheart and does anything she can to help and explain anything your confused about and makes court a lot easier nerves wise. She is an excell...ent attorney and I would tell anyone to go to her especially if you want an honest opinion of what is going on. I couldn’t be more thankful for her coming into the picture and helping me get out of the financial debt I was in. I also learned a lot.

Straight Forward

Deborah really worked with me when it was pertaining to my case, she is a very straight forward attorney and very helpful whenever I had a ton of questions. She was able to take care of everything in a timely manner and she is very professional.

Great Lawyer and knows how to get job done!

I was referred to Debora through a friend. I needed a bankruptcy lawyer. I had been told she was good,efficient,and knew how to get things done. All of this was true.When I got to her office she made me feel comfortable. Not knowing what to expect she explained everything to me step by step. I could ...go on forever about how great she is.all I can say if you need a great lawyer she's the lawyer you want standing by your side. Suzanne

Excellent Attorney. Highly recommend!

I was a pedestrian and I was hit by a car. I was scared and called Debbie (who was very professional) and she began advising me while I was waiting to be examined by the doctor. I wanted to make sure that I didn't say the wrong thing. Her office staff was super and I never had any problems getting... in contact with Debbie. She answered all of my questions and got me a great settlement without having to go to court. She fought for me and made me feel like I was her only client. I highly recommend her!!

Bad Attorney

Never helped, never responded, never shows up... I lost everything and I was garnished. Took her 2.5 years to call me back. I called and faxed weekly. Sent someone else to cover my bankruptcy and never told me til the morning of. Horrible, painful experience !
