"I know Debra from the early days as we were developing the collaborative law model in Washington. I have referred many clients her way over the years. I respect her financial accounting background so she's able to focus on that area in her mediation. She's naturally poised, lives a healthy life and is quick to laugh and bring humor into the room."
"I strongly endorse Debra as a Mediator. I have worked with Debra on several matters and I do not hesitate to recommend her to my clients and to other professionals. We are lucky to have her as a resource in our legal community."
"Debra is one of the most excellent mediators I have ever worked with. When clients want to go to mediation without attorneys present I have no hesitation referring them to Debra because of her competence, thouroughness and manner. She is a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough."
"It gives me great pleasure to endorse Debra Synovec. As a mediator, attorney, CPA and social worker, she offers clients a high level of competence, compassion and understanding. Debra has worked wonders with divorcing couples, helping parties that were barely speaking become successful co-parents post-divorce. Debra is a caring professional who is committed to resolving differences and empowering individuals. She is a valued colleague with superior mediation skills and a genuine human being. I will continue to recommend her!"
"Debra has terrific skills as a mediator. Beyond her experience as a practicing attorney, Debra previously had a career in accounting and, before that, in social work. Coupled with a really engaging, creative, and calming personality, Debra can call upon a large tool-kit in helping parties to a dispute buy into mediation and successfully achieve settlement."
"I highly recommend Debra Synovec-she is one of the finest mediators I have worked with in my professional career. Not only is Debra an accomplished attorney/CPA, and knows numbers and the law backwards and forwards, but she also has great emotional depth, experience and compassion in working with clients going through the divorce mediation process. What is amazing about Debra is that her skills are so strong that she makes mediation seem effortless. I have recommended many clients to Debra and I have always received the best feedback about her work with them. I highly recommend Debra!"
