About Deborah
Biography
Celeste zealously advocates for her clients both in court and through her written pleadings. As a former Public Defender for the fourth largest trial court in the nation (Maricopa Co., AZ), Celeste is not afraid to battle for her clients’ rights. She works hard to fight for her clients, but also understands that some cases are better served through negotiated settlement agreements.
Celeste formerly clerked for the Honorable Bethany G. Hicks, a Family Law Judge, after graduating from Law School. She knows how the judiciary addresses and analyzes cases when making a ruling. Being behind the lines has proven to be an invaluable experience that has taught Celeste what judges expect from attorneys. In representing her clients in the courtroom, Celeste is able to use her prior legal experience to help clients achieve the best possible outcome for their particular case.

Excellent Attorney!!
Working with Celeste was a Breeze! We hired her to help with the closing of our home and she made the process so much less stressful.
