Rachel , Family Law Client

In the beginning of 2014 I married a very high profile athlete. I left my home town of Texas and came to live in my new house in LA. Well in a short period of time things turned for the worse , and I packed it up and headed back to Texas . On my journey home I was frightened to death , what was I goi...ng to do about the media , who would I get for an attorney . I knew I needed a tough no nonsense lawyer that could handle what ever big guns he brought to the table . Well I'm a trial TV buff and remembered seeing Mrs. Opri on several of the TV stations giving commentary on different legal issues and remembered among other things she practices family law . So I shot her and email just telling her who I was and what my mess was . I never expected to hear back from her , but the same day I got an email back saying this is my cell please call. I did and to my delight she took my case. When she jumped on board she went straight into action. I was thrilled to have her on my side knowing she had my back fully. Here I was just a 9 to 5 working woman , not a celebrity, and she was willing to fight for me just the same . At the same time allowing me to have my own input on things . Not only was I a client , But I became a friend . There was NEVER a time I could not reach her by email, phone or txt. If she was in trial her wonderful legal assistant would call and try to resolve what ever I thought was the crisis at the moment . Mrs. Opri called me many times during court recesses to discuss things with me . She grew to know me and knew exactly what I needed and wanted out of my divorce . I walked away a very satisfied client . Even to this day she calls or texts to check on me just to see how I'm doing . We created a bond forever . I'm truly thankful for Mrs. Opri. I would absolutely use her again, and definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a fighter in their corner!

A life saver.

She helped me navigate the Los Angeles legal system and held my hand through both a divorce and case involving domestic violence against myself. I gained custody for my children and my freedom thanks to Ms. Opri and her skilled team. I could not have done it without her.

Debra Opri did everything she said she would for me.

After speaking with several attorneys about my divorce and child custody, my friend finally referred me to Debra Opri. Debra was very straightforward and didn't make any promises she couldn't keep. She settled as much as she could outside the courtroom and helped me handle everything in only a few m...onths. What I feared most was a long, drawn out custody battle. I told Debra at the very beginning: "I just want it to be over quick and i just want to see my kids" and thats exactly what she did.

My Rock

I was in a marriage that was toxic. Debra helped me see beyond that. Simply, she did what she said she would do, and more. She was my rock when I felt afraid and uncertain about the future of my family. Divorce is incredibly scary, but she assured me that I was in good hands. I am not the aggress...ive type, but that is what you need when you are in divorce court for domestic violence. Debra continues to represent me and is doing and incredible job, she is sincerely motivated to help her clients WIN...inside and outside of the courtroom. I know she wants the best for me and my family AND she will get it.

child custody/support case

I have been divorced for 10 years and really never happy with my divorce settlement, My ex husband doesn't pay any child support and takes no responsibility for our two children. I called Debra to explore the possibilty of ammending my divorce settlement. She studied my divorce decree, discussed my o...ptions and what recourse I have. She and her office have been extremely professional and responsive. We have had multiple phone conversations and numerous email communications to keep me updated on the status of my case. Debra is an exremely bright, caring and knowldedgeable attorney and a great advocate for her clients.
