Client focused

Too bad there are not more like Deborah. Client satisfaction & community focus are foremost in her office. Very happy with her knowledge & candor in setting up the framework for our estate.

Highly Recommended

Attorney Loos has represented our business for over 20 years, and her legal expertise has contributed to our success. She helps us stay compliant, navigate challenges, and accurately documents business events along the way. Because Attorney Loos takes the time to know our partners and our business we...ll, her work promotes our business strategy. She listens and communicates effectively, does not miss a detail, and has our best interest in mind when advising business decisions. I would recommend Attorney Loos to any business owner.

Highly recommended Attorney

Deborah made the whole process of buying a house so much more enjoyable! She was punctual, and always responded to my emails very quickly. At closing and after she was there for me when I needed someone to step in and take charge - that felt wonderful!

Very conscientious, knowledgeable

Attorney Loos is very conscientious, knowledgeable and helpful. My husband and I went to her for estate planning and had complete trust in her. She is down to earth in her explanations and set our minds at ease with her confident and personable approach. Her fees are very reasonable. She truly is the... best in the area!

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.
