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!

I'm LH, founder and director of an international non-profit wellness business. I had a close family member who became very unruly and non-cooperative in my personal and business life. This family member, who worked within the company, believed he should have had control over not only the business b...ut me as well. Over time, as things escalated, it became necessary to contact an attorney. I was referred to Debra Opri who turned out to be a God send! She handled herself in a very professional way with integrity, care and sincerity. She always told me the truth of the matter even if it wasn't comfortable to hear. She handled my case and the family member with a type of dignity and legal knowledge that caused him to not only back away from his threatening position but to give it up completely, allowing me to live and conduct my business more freely. I cannot thank Ms. Opri enough for the great way she handled my case. Her fees were reasonable and she was always available to me. I have subsequently referred her to others and they are as pleased with her as I am. What makes Debra Opri stand out from other attorney's is that she knows her job, she does her job and we, her clients, know she always has our backs.

I retained Debra Opri some years ago for my daughter. In the beginning she came across as a professional and capable attorney. However, once I signed up my daughter, she was no longer available to answer questions. When we finally went to arbitration she never spoke up once on behave of my daughter. ...Once the meeting was over, she informed me that she would be a warrior in the court room. I asked why she did not speak up, and she stated she wanted to go to court because we would have a better out come. Well, the court day finally came up and she does not show up. She calls the court and tells the Judge that she sprung her leg. The judge told Debra if she did not get to court in the next 45 minutes, he was going to drop the case. She told the judge she was in pain and the judge said you have 45 minutes to get to court. It was extremely embarrassing because every one in the court was laughing including the judge. I decided I did not want to proceed with the case and told my daughter to just settle the case. The judge was informed of our decision and we resolved the matter for a very little amount. Now, we had a difficult time getting the modest amount from Debra. Finally, she called and said the check was ready. My daughter was in school and I picked up the paper work. I read the paper work and was appalled at what I saw. We retained her on contingency and she had all these deductions. She included checks of things she had paid. One check was to the Beverly Hills Police Department and there were four additional checks of individuals she had paid. I asked her about this and she said she had spent her money for the case. I informed Debra that she could not do this ,and she started laughing. In addition she said take it or leave it. Mind you, the checks she said she had previously paid had never been process though the bank. There is more, she had a long letter glorifying her as an attorney and she wanted my daughter to sign it. I have all of these documents in the original envelope and I can prove what I am saying. I did not know at the time I could have reported her to the Bar Association. Yes, she kept all of the modest funds. DEBRA OPRI WAS A NIGHTMARE AND SHE LACKS PROFESSIONALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
