Top Attorney for Family Law

Deborah Dubroff was a godsend during my divorce. Divorce is clearly one of the most stressful times in ones life and I felt like I had the best attorney in my corner. Deborah is brilliant, strategic, compassionate, direct when needed and settlement oriented but ready for litigation if needed. Her ho...nesty and direction on each step of the process reassured me that I had the right professional advising me. With her years of experience, she is well connected and knew the expert / 3rd party that would be best for my case at each stage of the process. To say my divorce was long , challenging and contentious is an understatment and Deborah far exceeded my expectations as an attorney. She fought hard for my case to obtain an outstanding settlement. Without hestitation, I recommend Deborah Dubroff as family law attorney.

Highly recommend

I cannot recommend Deborah Dubroff enough. She is professional, articulate, knowledgable, assertive, and undeniably bright. She navigated me through an extremely trying divorce, one that began with the potential of mediation and turned into a high-conflict custody battle. She handled all of its phase...s brilliantly. She truly has her clients’ best interests at heart. In so many ways she took care to protect my financial bottom line, advising me which elements of s case were worth spending attorney time on—and which weren’t. Her knowledge of and experience with family law meant she knew what to fight for, where I was likely to prevail, and where I was not. She answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully throughout the process. She is a clever negotiator. She is well-respected by her colleagues, including judicial officiants. And in court she just shines. Ms. Dubroff’s tone throughout all our communication was professional and yet supportive. This lawyer cares. My divorce was the most difficult period of my life, but I now have a settlement that represents the best outcome for all parties, my child included. If you are going through this painful process, my heart goes out to you. And, I've got to tell you, Ms. Dubroff is an amazing ally.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Deborah is awesome. We worked together on several cases (all of which settled) and she is one of my go-to people when I have a question or need a second opinion. She gives you information straight-up. No sugar coating, and no fluff. I love that. She's reasonable, but tough. Perfect balance. I highly recommend."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Deborah is a rare type of family law attorney. Extremely knowledgeable, patient, and with a practice ideology that I hope to emulate myself one day. If I were to hire a family law attorney it would be Debora. Beyond that she is a superior peer - someone who I will turn to first when seeking advice in the family law area. I cannot recommend Deborah's services enough."
