Debra V. Chafin

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.

Our divorce was very lengthy due to multiple complex issues. Only a well trained, experienced, knowledge attorney could have handled this case. Long hours were devoted to me and my family for a desirable outcome. With the case that was presented to them and how it continued to unfold over the years, ...no one better could have been chosen for it than Debra Chafin and her team. The organization of this voluminous case was extraordinary. The timeliness of every submission. The courtesy, respect, and professionalism I experience from her and her office. Her transparency with any question I threw at her. Her presence in the court room provided me with the most secure feeling during the most difficult experience in my life thus far. I would recommend Debra to anyone. She is a valuable asset during one of the most emotional, scary, stressful times in your and your family’s lives.

From the first meeting till the final settlement totally timely, engaged and proactive. Knew her stuff. Coming out from the death of my spouse of 40 years, I didn't follow sage advise on healing and grieving. Found a person on line thirteen months after my wife passed we married. It was pretty mu...ch a sham marriage as the woman was in it from a settlement from the get go. I made many mistakes and hurt my own cause in court. Debra and Candace did everything they could considering the bad position I had put myself into. Debra was not only a good attorney but treated me like a son. Couldn't ask for better. I learned much and am better for the experience. I will be much wiser going forward.
