Waste of time and lazy!!!!

I hired her for my family law case in which my sons father was alienating him from me. I knew I needed a really good attorney to help fight for me. I contacted Deborah MONTHS before my case and every time I meet with her she just wanted more $$$ but I wasn’t seeing any paperwork filed, completed and ...NOTHING was being worked on my case. A day before my court date she still didn’t have any statement or prep for court. Day of court, she was late, told me to go over the case with her again? Whattt???? In court, she was scrambling with questions. Waste of time and money and sadly I lost my case. I was balling my eyes out and she just says to me: can’t win them alll. I couldn’t believe it! Do NOT hire her. Biggest regret ever!!!

An attorney does not always get the full story. Unfortunately, without full candor it can be exceedingly difficult to obtain your goals when working with an attorney. I have never, nor would I ever, tell a heartbroken client you "can't win them all." As this was clearly fabricated, the rest of the narrative does not ring true either.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
