Adoption & estate planning

I used Debbie on two separate occasions. First was the legal adoption of my daughter. She was diligent and very knowledgeable. So much so that I used her again a year later to do all my estate planning. I trust debbie’s opinions and I consult with her regularly.

CARING and COMPETENT!

Divorce cases can be so stressful, and even more so during your search for lawyers. It is difficult to find a lawyer in which you feel confident in that they will try their best to fulfill your needs, as if it were their own. I had a few disappointing consultations with previous firms during my searc...h. When I came across Ms. Ross, I felt comforted immediately as she received me with great patience and a caring ear. Ms. Ross very knowledgeable in the law, informed me about what could be done in my favor and the possibility of future settlements in the case. Ms. Ross and her firm continuously kept in touch, she is easy to contact, and even more open to availability depending on the severity of your concern (being that they are scheduled for hearings and meetings throughout the day) I was very happy with the outcome of the case in which Ms. Ross also helped avoid costs by preventing mediation if we could settle through alternative resolution. If you wish to have someone knowledgable, caring and agressive if need be. I highly recommend Ms. Ross!!

Review on Deborah Louise Ross-Ocariz Attorney

Deborah is extremely professional. She was a great help in addressing my questions and concerns on a recent child support modification case. She knew the law, and how to deal with the opposing counsel which was a total disaster.

Excellent all around

Debbie represented me during my divorce. She was very helpful and understanding. She was able to provide guidance and clarify matters without me feeling swayed or influenced on making certain decisions. Debbie definitely assisted in making this a smooth process.

Great divorce lawyer

Debbie was a pleasure to work with. Always professional, patient, kind, supportive and very helpful through the whole process! My simple divorce ended up taking longer than expected and she was always available and engaged to ensure everything worked out.
