Debra Nessa Caligiuri

Ms. Caligiuri and her staff were awesome! She helped me negotiate a very positive outcome to a tricky settlement with my ex while preserving enough relationship with my ex to allow us to peacefully continue to co-parent our grown children. She and her staff were professional, knowledgeable, calm, and... effective. The communication was excellent and I am very pleased with my settlement. I highly recommend her and her team to any one seeking counsel!

I hired Debra Caligiuri as my attorney for my divorce. She was referred by a friend who does legal referrals and reviews. I was very pleased with how Mrs. Caligiuri was diligent and had a long term goal of resolving the case while still keeping ethics in mind. Family law can get very personal and she... always suggested a fair response while still maintaining our position in the process. I was very pleased and would reccomend her services to someone who wants an experienced, fair attorney. If you want a bulldog to push their way through the system at any expense (i.e kids, ex spouses), she is not the one. She is firm and reasonable and we reached a good settlement without breaking the bank.

I had tried to navigate my own divorce without an attorney and was unsuccessful. My spouse was not participating in the process. In fact, I did not even know where my spouse was for months at a time. The court legal process made me feel trapped in convention, with an unconventional situation. My case... was unusual, and I was hopeful for a settlement that was a-typical, but not unprecedented. I had two young daughters to protect and care for all on my own. I finally hired Debra Caligiuri. Debra listened well, and was never impatient. She did not criticize me for filing on my own and failing to succeed. She informed me of the options and possible complications. She was supportive of my feelings and concerns, never inciting my anger. Her approach was not purely legal, but compassionate too, helping me to weigh the emotional toll with the time and possible legal ramifications. She understood my dilemma and was willing to proceed with my uncommon request, which was to use my home (that was fully paid for) as security for unpaid future child support. A divorce was granted, although due to the unusual nature of my settlement, the court retained jurisdiction over the ultimate dissolution of assets and child support. Years later, Debra was there to help with the final settlement and stipulation. All told it took ten years (with large gaps of inactivity) to completely resolve the financial aspects. Debra was always there when I needed her. She made the best of a tough situation. She helped me navigate the storm, and all the subsequent gales that followed. My daughters and I came out of it all with a close relationship, and the retention of our home. Thank you Debra Caligiuri!

Attorney Caligiuri is very professional and diligent. She represented me in a Collaborative Divorce and I was very impressed with how well she handled a potentially volatile situation. Her mediation skills are excellent. I am sure we saved a lot of money and agony by staying out of court and resol...ving our issues quickly and respectfully.
