Client's best interest comes first

I have had cases with her and against her. Hard working, intelligent, and aggressive. Excellent litigator and genuinely cares about her clients and always acts in her client's best interest. I am writing this review as a fellow attorney.

Compassionate Care

From the very first meeting all the way through to the final agreement, Deborah Kimelman was incredible. She brought a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion to every part of the process. She helped mediate my divorce with such care and efficiency, always keeping the... bigger picture in mind — especially when it came to making sure our child’s well-being stayed front and center. Thanks to Deborah’s steady guidance, everything stayed respectful and constructive, and we were able to lay the groundwork for a healthy co-parenting relationship. I’m deeply grateful for her thoughtful approach and the real care she showed during such a tough time.

Because of Her, We Had Hope.

We hired Ms. Kimelman for our case, and from the very beginning, she fought for our daughter and fiercely advocated for her and our entire family. She was always professional and available when we had questions, offering guidance and support whenever we needed it. Throughout the court process, she ne...ver backed down from a challenge and consistently stood by our side. Her knowledge of family law especially when it involves children is exceptional, and it truly made a difference in our case.
