This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Representation

Deborah was recommended to me by a friend knowledgeable in family law issues and a family law attorney I had worked with in the past. I hired Deborah to represent me in a motion to terminate permanent spousal maintenance. She knew what issues needed to be addressed and facts to be presented. This ...case went to the appeals court and again, she knew what was important to address with respect to the questions that arose and arguments that were subject of the appeal. I highly recommend Deborah and was very pleased with her representation.

Very excellent.

I hired Deborah to handle a child support case. She proved herself to be very knowledgeable and professional yet tenacious when the situation required. She answered when I called. She responded to my emails in a timely manner, she patiently answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I fe...el fortunate to have had her working on my behalf. I recommend Deborah Dewalt highly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
