Debra V. Chafin

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.

You know she's good when other lawyers recommend her. Mrs. Chafin is the consummate professional but with an edge that compounds her firm's decades of experience. As a man who was resigned to settling for a song, Mrs. Chafin and staff helped me to recognize my worth as a human, and fought literally... the last minute when the other side tried to pull some shenanigans. She is very poised in court, and nothing gets by her!

I have used Debra for two cases; an appeal and a divorce. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. She will fight for you in a strong professional manner. You can tell she has had many years of experience, and she understands the laws and how things work within the court system.... She is who you want as your representative when you are in the courtroom nervous and anxious over the situation that you are in. I can’t recommend her 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.
