She's got your back

Debra Dimaggio and her team protected myself, my children and my finances though a very hostile divorce. She was always a step ahead and worked hard to make sure I was taken care of. Brianna, her associate was always available to explain details and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend i...f you are going through divorce in extraordinary circumstances.

GREAT ATTORNEY AND TEAM

I hired Debra after my marriage lasted 6 months. Debra was strong, honest, and upfront about all specifics of the case. Her team was absolutely great too. Maddie, Brianna, Alane, everyone worked very hard to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Like any divorce things can get costly. I can honestl...y say Deb was straightforward in all aspects and fought for what I wanted as for as possessions wise etc. I definitely recommend her.

The Best of the Best

If you need a real professional, who will be your compassionate advocate, hiring Debra will be the best decision you'll ever make. If you follow her guidance, you will be OK. Debra is someone you can really trust.

Great Partner!

I worked Primarily with Brianna in Debra's office, but it was great to have a partner on my side throughout the process!!

Debra & her team got the job done!

My divorce had been going on for years. After hiring Debra, I finally saw progress being made. She got in there & got the job done! She stepped on the scene & knew exactly what needed to be done. I'm thankful Debra & her team were able to finalize my very nasty divorce!

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.
