I have found fulfillment in the practice of law for over twenty years by helping my clients through difficult situations. While I am an aggressive litigator if the need arises, my first focus is on negotiating an agreed resolution if possible. A solution agreed upon by all parties involved is more satisfactory in the long run, both financially and emotionally, for everyone involved. When not practicing law, I indulge my passion for gardening and growing plants.

Deborah is intelligent, diligent and professional. I dealt with her in a number of civil and domestic relations matters over the years and always found her to be well-versed in the law, articulate and a zealous advocate for her clients.
