Debra R Schoenberg

If you want to get desired results, Schoenberg Family Law Group is hands down one of the best family law firms. I searched for a family law firm who had a wealth of experience and looked out for my best interests. I initially found Debra Schoenberg but did not go with her because her office locati...on was far from my area. So, I hired an attorney who lived in my area and that turned out to be my biggest mistake ever. In due time, I pivoted and hired Debra to represent my divorce case. As soon as Debra took over my case, she immediately coordinated a team with the right experts. I would undoubtedly be nowhere without her top-notch professional services. I felt a huge weight of stress lifted as she represented and fought hard for me. As a result, we were able to settle my case with a great outcome. Debra is my hero as I can't thank her enough.  Without question, I would highly recommend Debra Schoenberg to anyone who is in need of a top-notch professional attorney. I am confident and can truly attest that no one will be disappointed in her services. 

I retained Debra after realizing that my initial attorney was too inexperienced and had done nothing but lose give me bad advice for almost two years of litigation. I had gone from primary custody with over 90% custody to 50% to get agreement to a move-away and my lawyer had later advised me to agree... to a custody evaluation that was going poorly. My ex had married and had virtually unlimited funds for litigation while I was a full-time student. Debra evaluated the situation and told me what my options were. She was clear on what the possible outcomes would be and that my case was in a bad position due to all concessions I had given initially based on the previous lawyer's advice. I didn't like everything she had to say but she was brutally honest with what I could expect from the court. At our first court appearance, I was impressed with her preparation and her command during the appearance. It was obvious to me that this woman knew what she was talking about and that the other professionals at court knew and respected her, including our judge. When the custody evaluation came back against me, Debra gave me invaluable advice, which I took. She told me what she thought was the best course of action but said that the choice was mine and she would take the case forward however I chose. After reflection, I agreed that her assessment was accurate. In court, I watched as Debra argued the judge into ordering a second custody evaluation, possible because I followed Debra's advice and agreed to relocate back to the county where my ex lived. This was at great personal cost, both financially and professionally. But it was worth it in the end. Because Debra got me back to 50% custody, which was critical to my child's emotional well-being, and I do not believe that would have happened without her advice or her skills in the courtroom. Debra was always honest and upfront about the slim chance I had at success in my case but delivered a successful outcome. She remained focused on the best interest of my child at all times. When I became frustrated with my ex over a minor issue involving a vacation dispute, she bluntly set me straight, telling me that she didn't play tit for tat and helping me focus on my child's experience rather than my own annoyance. I was kept informed about her availability and her staff was helpful, caring, and above all, competent. I joked with friends that I was Debra's poorest client. As a student, I borrowed every penny that I paid Debra with and she was careful with it. Did it go faster than I hoped? Of course. But she changed procedures in her practice to save clients money while I was a client when she found a way to have lower billing staff perform tasks. I appreciated that. Debra has great knowledge, experience and integrity. I do not exaggerate when I say that she saved me and my child. Without her, I would have ended up with three weekends a month, simply because my ex had more money and a lawyer who would tell any story to win. For the first time in the court process, I felt defended. I highly recommend Debra Schoenberg.
