Deborah Anne Bianco

“Deb” Bianco is focused solely on practicing law for financial gain. I have witnessed first hand -Deb Bianco lie to the court and attempt to use her position as pro tem commissioner in family court to manipulate the legal process and to gain favor with other commissioners on her private practice cas...es. Deb Bianco has violated DV PTO orders in place by the court (against her client) by seeking contact of the friends, family members, acquaintances m, coworkers, ex husband and former relationships of the protected party. ABD Deb Bianco sought to legally represent these parties against the “protected victim”. Deb Bianco violated a DV PTO -stalking protection order by making contact and she’s obtained information about the protected party to use in court on behalf of her client the perpetrator. Further Deb Bianco manipulated a third party by offering to legally representation- AND Deb Bianco accepted payment for legal services. Yet.,., Deb Bianco denied- In deposition filed in King County representing the third party and she denied accepting payment by check. Deb Bianco should be removed as a commissioner in King County Family court. “Conflict of interest” is an understatement.

If I could give her negative stars, I would. She was issuing Domestic Violence Protection Orders in court, but yet seemed to have no knowledge of domestic violence at all. She also did not read over any of the court records for the defendant and based her decisions off of what was said during the h...earing. If she did, she would have known about the consistent issues the defendant was presenting with. I did not feel supported at all and felt like she had no idea what she was doing, but is yet up there making all types of decisions about peoples lives and safety. I want to make a complaint about her

Deb and Lesley handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. Although it took over two years to obtain a divorce decree and another two years in Appellate Court (both were in our favor) she handled my stresses and unending questions with kindness and compassion. While I certainly hope ...no one goes through what we had to endure, I would recommend Deborah to anyone - and have!

I faced Ms. Bianco for a court case to receive temporary orders (financial and parenting) for my divorce. The facts (supported with evidence) which were disclosed for the case included: my ex liquidated our 6- figure IRA (without my knowledge), liquidated all but a very small amount of our daughter's... college fund (without my knowledge) , had a hidden bank account in another state, had hidden credit cards mailed to an alternate address, and was refusing to support the children financially. Further, my ex had collapsed with a 0.3 BAC (over 3 times the legal limit) and credit card charges showed an average of $400 per month on alcohol. Ms. Bianco refused to transfer my daughter's remaining 529 into my name to prevent him from removing any more from it (this decision was revoked and I gained control over the remaining funds in the final divorce decree). She refused to apply 191 restrictions or mandate an alcohol evaluation based upon his history and expenses (an alcohol evaluation was later ordered by the parenting evaluator). She established a residential schedule which allowed him to return the children mid-week after their bedtime (this was revoked later when my ex was found in contempt of the parenting plan and he lost all mid-week visitation; the parenting evaluation also supported that the children did not spend mid-week with their father). Ms. Bianco also mandated joint decision making, which resulted in my ex refusing to allow the children to participate in counseling (this decision was also revoked after the parenting evaluation and I received sole medical/mental health decision making). Despite a written agreement between my ex and i (and our attorneys) which outlined the upcoming spring break was to be spent with me (and travel had already been arranged), and despite a declaration from the pediatrician which indicated my ex should not travel out of state with our medically fragile child (as he had never cared for him when he was acutely ill), she disregarded this and allowed my ex to have the children for the break. Not only were the orders unclear - they required amending to clarify financial division of costs for child care, date child support was due, and no consequence if my ex opted not to exercise his residential time (which costed additional fees). Just about every ruling Ms. Bianco made for temporary orders were revoked, repealed, or adjusted based upon facts, evidence, evaluations, etc. Just this fact alone should make you steer clear of Ms. Bianco. If you want the best outcome for your children, do not go to Ms. Bianco.

I would recommend Deborah to anyone, any time, She has been my lawyer for over ten years. The past three years I have been in and out of court with my ex for changes to my parenting plan, child support modification and enforcement of my parenting plan. I have won every single time. Deborah knows fami...ly law and has been spot on with what the end result would be.
