Debra V. Chafin

Starting the divorce process was overwhelming, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Debra and her team made everything easier from the very beginning. I trusted her completely with my divorce and child custody case, and she exceeded my expectations with the outcome. Knowing I was in such capable hands g...ave me peace of mind during a very difficult time.

I hired her in 2024 after my ex husband was given 60/40 by family court. This was a case of previous emotional/mental abuse on the daily and instability and inconsistency for my child. Along with alcohol and severe mental health allegations against the father who was previously on supervised visitati...ons. After hiring Debra and appointed a Guardian At Litem. Debra worked well with the GAL, she was VERY thorough in guiding me on what evidence to gather. I submitted all my paperwork’s and evidence and she was able to secure the best possible outcome for my children! We were also granted to move out of state to pursue medical resources, better stability, job security, and overall better quality of life for my children. Her pricing is very reasonable, I wasn’t Nickle and dimed! I was able to afford her entire services making less than 25k a year ! I would recommend her and her team to anyone! In our parenting plan I was even able to request “safe guards” to protect my children and I have sole decision making. If you’re looking for a pit bull in the court room …. This is the lawyer for you! She’s good and compassionate and see right through an unstable parent! Good luck on your endeavors.

My divorce/custody was complex and, tragically, spanned over 1.5 years. After consulting with other lawyers who told me my desired outcome was impossible, Deb was the only professional who listened, had handled similar cases of emotional abuse and she offered a realistic path to hope of safety and we...ll being for my child. Deb shared my singular goal to keep my child as safe as possible and give them the best future possible in the long run. That moment changed everything for me and Deb became more than an attorney during the grueling battles we faced. Deb, Larry and the whole team became an anchor in the storm. They reminded me what was worth fighting, they helped me break out of an abusive situation, they helped every step of the way even when it meant telling me hard truths. They helped in more ways than I can express. Deb is an exceptional legal strategist and a fierce advocate. Her attention to detail and legal knowledge were instrumental in navigating the complex challenges of my case. I am beyond grateful every single day for the ruling that Deb was instrumental in securing. It was the resolution we desperately needed, protecting my child and allowing my family to finally move forward peacefully for the first time. I cannot thank and sing praises about Deb and her team enough.

Debra represented me (last minute, I must add) after my initial divorce 4 years prior, for a child support hearing. After contacting Debra and having a consultation, I felt heard and validated. Debra listened, offered suggestions, but was never pushy. The attorney I worked with in my original divorce... hearing basically told me “it is what it is” and I should just accept the situation. Debra fought for fairness. I appreciated her thorough execution and her attention to detail. Debra helped me feel, for the first time since my divorce, that the outcome was fair. Debra was worth every penny and I will 100% use her again shall the situation ever present itself.
