Debra Nickin Ribitwer

Debra Ribitwer is an extraordinary divorce attorney. I met her three years ago, as I was just beginning the worst days of my life. She showed me compassion, understanding, and helped me understand the law. I had a very high conflict divorce, with very young children, and Debra stayed one step ahea...d of everyone at all times. She has brilliant ideas, strategies, and is not afraid to think outside of the box. She is experienced, trustworthy, and hard working. Debra always has, and continues to, make my case a priority, even in post judgement matters. Debra may be expensive, but she is worth it! I would not trust anyone else to fight for the best interest of my children.

I hired Debra to protect myself and my children during a very scary and emotional time in my life; filing for divorce. I thought as my attorney she would look out for my families best interest and that was not the case. Debra only cares about collecting from a divorce. She racked up astronomical fees..., totaling nearly 70k for an eight -month divorce without any trials, and I did not ask for or get anything that I wasn't already legally entitled to. She slipped in a judgment against me within my judgment of divorce that forced me to pay her an amount I never agreed too. Please read her contract, it is not in your favor. Demand a monthly bill and question everything as once the 30-day billing period is up you are stuck with the bill according to the contract. Please read every paragraph of your judgment before you sign it or you too may be surprised to find out she has a judgment against you within your own judgment of divorce. I had pleaded with her to please reduce the fees because it would be financially detrimental to mine and my children's future and she said she didn't care; Debra just she wants her money. I've had several attorney's review what happened and all of them felt this was grossly unethical, and that "a trained monkey straight out of law school could've handled this case for $5k". I feel I was taken advantage of by my own attorney during a time that I trusted her to protect me. Debra will take her own clients to court. Sitting down in that chair and signing that contact was the worse thing I've done.
