Denise M. DeBelle

Denise was a great advocate and actually listened to me when I explained the nuances of my case (unlike other attorneys that I approached). She and her co-counsel were able to defeat the Goliath by believing in me and the merits of my case. I trusted her to be ethical and always felt that she was on ...my side. I believe due to her diligence and our trust in each other, we came to a satisfactory settlement of my whistleblower and discrimination case.

Attorney DeBelle was very thorough in researching and carrying out my case, sought outside testimony, seemed knowledgeable about wage claims, communicated often with me, and achieved a successful outcome. Since it was a mid-size claim, I felt fortunate to find someone who would take the time to give ...my case serious consideration.

I hired DeBelle. I gave her a $4,500 retainer for "as an initial matter, draft and file" a document. Approximately a month later she sent me, in her words, a "partial - very partial" draft... and then, withdrew as counsel. Bottom line: she misled me; dropped the ball; and kept my money. I deeply... regret having hired her.

I was in need of a lawyer to support the development of an agreement between myself and my former employee. Ms. DeBelle was an excellent listener and gave me a clear idea of what to anticipate in review of all of my options. Her clarity and precise thinking was very critical as I was in need of a g...uiding professional in circumstances that were uncomfortable for me. Our work together was efficient and well documented. She was careful to check with me every step of the way but did not abuse her time usage - I felt I was very fairly represented and very successfully.
