This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not recommended

I hired Dawn Deboer to handle my divorce. At the time, she was a Partner at a firm that was recommended to me. She was quick to ask for a retainer, and then did very little for me. My experience with her was very similar to the client who posted on Feb. 14, 2014; like that client, I experienced many... delays, broken promises, as well as a lack of returned phone calls and follow-up. I eventually received a letter from the firm stating that she was no longer with the firm. Through much back and forth, I eventually had an Associate Lawyer at the firm finish the job that Dawn had started. (And yes, the Associate Lawyer handled the case in a timely and efficient manner.)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
