Amazing

Debra M. Salisbury not only handled my divorce with ease she handled my DCF case and won with flying colors. She gets stuff done, she’s open and honest with you rather you like her answer or not. She was always there to answer my questions. This woman saved mine and my children’s lives and brought us... back together. I can’t thank her enough.

An attorney that everyone should have in their corner!!

I was blind sided by my ex husband, with being served papers to change our parenting plan that we made when we got divorced 10 years ago. I was shocked, scared, emotional and distraught. I didn’t know what to do but I did the best thing I could have done and that was call Deborah Salisbury. My ex hus...band kept my daughter from me and was recording our conversations and making horrendous actuations about me. Deborah was there every step of the way. Her guidance and skill is unparalleled. She was there with any questions I had and answered questions I wouldn’t have thought to ask. She got me back with my daughter and put things into place for the future and anything that may arise. Everyone deserves to have a Deborah Salisbury in their corner. She will work you and fight for you even when you aren’t sure that you have any fight last in you! If you are in need of a family attorney Deborah Salisbury is who you need to call! I can close my eyes tonight knowing my daughter is back with me. While going through this situation was an absolute nightmare I was put as ease the minute I talked to Deborah. Abbie

Attitude, Temper, Pride, Arrogance

The other reviews are right based on skill. There is a huge amount of skill in this office. However. There is also a huge amount of pride. After spending over $55k on her fees, when things didn’t go exactly the way Debra wanted, she got “offended” and decided to pass us off mid court, stating that th...ere was issues with council. Perfect example of the typical Attorney Stereotype. We still won our case even though she left us high and dry. Her words were “I’m too busy to deal with this emotion, I’m taking care of my elderly parents and trying to be an attorney full time, and you are too draining of a person for me to deal with.” Maybe take some time off and reconsider why you got into this business to begin with. To help people. Not help your pride. Looking at other posts and based on conversations in the community. It looks like, if you are a woman. Debra will do fine with you. But based on statistics, she does not work well when representing men in her family cases. She allows her female pride to constantly put men down and their abilities.

As a lawyer, I am constrained by the Rules of Regulating the Florida Bar in responding in detail, but I will simply state that it is my belief that the comments "After spending $55k on her fees", "pass us off mid court", "left us high and dry", "But based on statistics, she does not work well when representing men in her family cases. She allows her female pride to constantly put men down and their abilities" present neither a fair nor accurate picture of what occurred and I believe that said comments are false.

Unprofessional and Heartless

Debra Salisbury will fabricate facts, and defend DCF knowing that the facts they have found as allegations are false. Salisbury defends parents that abuse kids, and takes them from loving homes when it’s in her best interest ($$$). She is a despicable person devoid of morality and a disgrace to the l...egal profession.

The best hands down.

Family issues of any kind are tough. If you find yourself in a position where you need a family attorney, Debra is the best! She is very straightforward, diligent and knowledgeable. My case was going slow until I hired Debra. I hired Debra and within a day she had a motion filed. I had another proble...m arise and letters were sent out. Debra is very very very well known in the family circuit. Family matters important and tDebra treats them as such. If you find yourself in a position where you need a GOOD family attorney, do your family a favor and go with Debra, she is the BEST.
