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.

Debra Ribitwer claims to be at the top of her field but she is not as knowledgeable as she claims. I got the impression that she had no real knowledge of court procedure and seemed uncomfortable with going to court. She also did not know the law as well as she claimed. She pushed me into settlement e...venthough I didn't want to settle. She threatened me with racking up excessive fees if my case went to trial. I got the impression that she was working with, instead of against, the other side of my case. In my opinion, she needlessly prolonged my case so she could get more fees. She seemed more concerned with collecting her unreasonably high hourly rate than with getting me the best result in my case. Her personality is abrasive, elitist and undermining and, frankly, I don't feel like I got the value of the thousands of dollars I paid her. I would not recommend her to anyone.
