Got the job done
Had a lawsuit over some overtime that wasn’t paid to me. And Mr. Debes took every step and measure to get the job done. He also kept me updated through the process.

Honest, fair, and knowledgeable
Mr. Debes did a great job in handling my separation contract and negotiations with my former employer. He kept me updated every step of the way, handled my case professionally and fairly. From the start Mr. Debes was completely honest in possible outcomes.
