Debra A. Di Maggio

My grandson was taken from Ireland to Chicago by his mother, following the suicide of his father. Although I already had a court order for access in Ireland the mother denied me all contact with the child for ten months. I now have zoom access twice a week. These lawyers were very diligent, caring an...d empathic and I would highly recommend them

She blamed me for the proceedings not going in my favor. The only calls I received were about "her bills" She never spoke up in court and allowed the process to rule racking up the bills that I was unable to pay. I did tell her I was out of money. She never gave me the option to go pro se which wo...uld have saved my house as she and the children's attorney have both sued me. My kids are back, my family intact but now I have no money to support them as I pay for my home a second time to cover excessive and attorney fees.

Going through a Divorce was hard enough, but the best decision I could have ever made was hiring Debra! She fought every step of the way for me and my children, and I am forever grateful to her. She knows the law, knows how to make things happen, and got me what I needed. I would recommend her to any...one, except my ex-wife. If you are looking to retain a lawyer, hurry and get her before your Ex does first. Unfortunately my divorce got ugly and Debra was able to keep things civil, and worked with the attorneys in order to make sure that everything was facilitated properly. I am not one to write reviews like this, but I hope this helps someone in serious need of legal assistance.

I met with Ms DiMaggio when I first moved to Chicago to seek legal counsel about child custody matters. She welcomed me into her office, and spoke to me at length about my circumstances. She advised me NOT to seek custody modification, even though that meant obviously not hiring her. A year later my ...situation changed and I decided to pursue sole custody. Ms DiMaggio remembered my case, even though I had met with her only once, and took my case. Throughout the process she was kind, compassionate, supportive and helpful. I highly recommend her.
