Don't hire deb! She does not investigate and does nothing!

Deborah has done nothing on our case. The court appointed her and she failed to investigate. We caught her not telling the truth several times and holds grudges very easy. If she doesn't like your attorney she will lie to the judge. She refused to investigate And would not write any reports, ...call my doctors and acted like she was the psychologist ! She doesn't care about children and their feelings. My daughter asked for 8 months to talk to her and she did nothing. My daughters have been suffering and feel punished. It is sad Deb Mckelvy doesn't help these children.
