Child custody

Debra Opri represented me in a highly litigated case regarding my infant son. I respect her with the highest regard and highly recommend her services. Debra never gave up and won me custody of my son. Not only did she do excellent work and fight for me, she also won multiple appeals for me in the app...ellate court. I would say she is the best attorney and extremely dedicated to her clients and winning.

Debra the Wonder Woman

My name is LG, about 6 years ago, I retained Debra to help me in a case involving a mal-practice suit against a lawyer. The case was handled so distastefully, that I lost. I did not understand, until I sought some understanding from Debra, who told me I definitely had a case. Debra was so helpful and... knowledgeable on these matters and she continued to pursue this case and kept encouraging me to be patient. I had very little understanding of the gravity of this case, until the end, which resulted in me being the victor. This was only one of the many cases in which I had the extreme opportunity to have Debra's expertise show forth. Not only is Debra my attorney, she also is a true friend. Furthermore, I was in a terrible accident which resulted in me having a broken neck and C-3 spinal cord injury with right hemi-paralysis. Debra was a voice for me during the time of my convalescing. She has truly been an inspiration to me throughout my career. Her motivation to see things to the end has inspired me to accomplish many things, i.e., the doctors told me I would never walk again without the use of a walker or wheelchair, but if you see me today, I am very mobile and as I previously stated I give a lot of the accolades to the inspiration which came from Debra. I have and will continue to refer her to all of my friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Debra, I really do love you for all you do!!! You're the best!!! You truly are my friend.

Review of Debra Opri's consultations with separating from a Business Partner.

My Name is Michael Thompson and I am writing this review about Debra A. Opri. In 2011 I sought out Debra to help me to legally separate from a business partner. I owned 45% of an Interior Design company for about 15 years, and my business partner owned the other 55%. Through the years he had slowly ...stopped bringing in business and instead of working he wanted to start incurring debt to pay salaries, etc. Debra advised me on how to properly resign and cut ties so that I could eventually start my own company. We also filed my resignations with the State, so I was not liable for anything that was done improperly after I left. Soon after I resigned, many issues came up with my old business partner that were ugly and threatening towards me & needed to be addressed. This took several months and Debra was able to again help me through all of this in a very ethical way that avoided litigation. I most likely would have done things differently that would not have had such a good outcome. I totally believe that Debra advised me correctly and guided me in a very straight forward way. Her knowledge and expertise enabled me to make as smooth a transition as possible away from my old company. Towards the end, Debra refused to take any payment, because she saw that I was having alot of financial hardship during that transitional period which lasted several months. She must have made that decision long before we were finished with all of my problems, because she kept fighting for me, full force, right until all the issues were resolved. I was shocked at her compassion and generosity. I will always be grateful and indebted to Debra and if I ever have any sort of legal problems in the future I will only use her to help me get through them. She acted professionally and respectfully and with out any negative judgement, which is rare. I can honestly say that Debra helped me survive one of the most stressful things that has ever happened in my life!!!

Debra is an agressive advocate who relentlessly fights for the rights of her clients! I would not hesitate to recommend her . She never gives up and is always in your corner

Stalwart, compassionate and cuts-to-the-chase

I've known Debra for over 10 years. Recently my husband had a near fatal accident requiring him to secure representation regarding an insurance claim. Realizing the tenuous nature of our court system, it became clear we needed an attorney to help us navigate through the complicated procedure. Beca...use we thought we would be able to handle the claim ourselves, the statute of limitation was nearing the deadline. Not giving Ms. Opri much time, it became quite clear in our first meeting that we had landed in the right place. I certainly would not recommend waiting to the last minute, but immediately she was able to put together a workable strategy. Her correspondence with the insurance company has brought tears to my eyes. Caring for my husband the past few months has been physically and emotionally exhausting. In a world of smoke and mirrors, her fierce knowledge, confidence and down to earth nature is refreshing. Yes, Debra is comfortable with celebrities and the media because she is young, vibrant and extremely competent. But make no mistake, the straight forward, very focused, well-rounded attorney would be in "your" court. We are hoping for an expeditious settlement, however if it necessary to further the process, I have every confidence that she will provide a very solid representation.
