Deanna Rusch

I hired Deanna to help adjust my parenting plan since my son has entered school age and our current parenting plan requires it. I have one word for Deanna...AMAZING! She is beyond attentive, reaching out to me and my son's father, getting right back to me, sometimes within minutes, anytime I contac...ted her with questions, and she is so knowledgeable about this subject. She has all the answers and advice I need. She's aggressive with being warm and understanding. I couldn't ask for more and am so grateful to have her on my side. She can conquer the world and I couldn't be happier with the help she has been providing my family. Thank you so much Deanna! Couldn't ask for more. You go above and beyond!

Deanna was instrumental in helping me with my divorce and later with support adjustments and negotiating my parenting plan to reflect what was best for my son. There was not a moment that I didn't know with certainty that Deanna had not only my best interest at heart but more so the best interest of ...my child at heart. She was always straight forward and honest when I asked questions even if it was not the answer I hoped for, this gave me realistic expectations for my case. Deanna is extremely knowledgeable and knew when to push back when my ex was being unreasonable and when to accept small changes that would benefit negotiations for the bigger picture of what was best for my son. My son and I are very lucky to have had Deanna in our corner and to continue to have her in our life as a support going forward. I cannot recommend her enough.

I worked with Deanna for over 2years in an on-going custody battle and divorce that was anything but ordinary. My case spanned just about every divorce topic you can think of- business asset distribution, child custody, abuse... you name it. She was ON IT every step of the way and went out of her way... to make sure I understood every part of the process. I appreciated that she always seemed to approach matters as if it was her own family at stake. She is driven and professional yet she is still able to make you laugh at a time that can feel like the worse time in your life. She kept her "eyes on the prize" and never lost focus. I was awarded just about everything we were going for, and most importantly, we ended up with a final parenting plan that is in the best interest of the children involved. I highly recommend Deanna.

Deanna represented me when the mother of my son decided to just up and move half way across the country with my son. I contacted Deanna, Dominique and her team immediately after finding out and within 7 days he was back home. Deanna consulted and advised me during what I imagine as the most difficult... time I'll ever go through, and with her patience and guidance and what I was told was going to be a really nasty proceeding, Deanna made it easy on me, made me comfortable, fought hard, and kept me very informed. One year later and we won every little battle as far as court was concerned, except for one tiny little convenience for the ex, and it's all over. I feel like I won, as well as I could hope for in this state, my ex has come to agreeable terms with me and I never have to worry about my ex moving away with my son, ever again...that is worth all the money in the world to me. I would have gladly spent every penny I had, could borrow or could steal to make it so I have my son with me, I feel for the result and the process and the hard work Deanna and Dominique were tip top notch and were worth every one of those pennies had I spent them. Their price was very reasonable for the result. I feel very fortunate to have found Deanna and not my ex, in my opinion Deanna made my exes team seem very rookie, lazy, and unprepared and I was told that the opposing attorney was very good. In closing I will never forget Deanna and Dominique for as long as I live, it's hard to explain how I feel about them without getting emotional, they did their job, and did it with amazing results. I could not recommend her or her team enough. If you're looking for a family attorney and haven't found one, your search is done, call her!

Where do I start to describe such an intense year? I needed help after a very bad separation and the other parent took away my daughter, I was unsure what to do and if I was going to be able to do anything at all. This was an extremely complex case in the murky waters of GLBT defacto parentage laws. ...I sought a lawyer and spoke to a few, but then I found Deanna and I knew from the moment we spoke, I wanted to have her represent me. In meeting Deanna, I can say I have been blessed and granted with good fortune. Since the year I last saw my daughter, I felt for the first time I had a chance in getting my daughter back. After a year, Deanna continues to be my strength, sanity, and the force that safeguards the chance to hold my daughter again. Deanna has guided me through the chaotic and emotional world of the legal system. Every step of the way she has made sure to cover every potential aspect the case could take without faltering on the goal to have my daughter and I together again. She is a rock star in the courtroom; she conveys an absolute confidence and presence without being overbearing and arrogant. My hope and confidence rose seeing her in court, where her passion for law shines by her words, fervor, and knowledge. As with such a complex case filled with many uncertainties and potential pitfalls as mine has been, many times my stamina wavered on the brink of collapse. Deanna was the crusader that pulled the case and myself through it all. Deanna’s team was exemplary, to describe them as a team is absolutely spot on, and I love them all! Her friendly team is knowledgeable and communication is always clear and concise. Dominique, you are super! If I had to describe Deanna and her team in a single word, it would have to be, heroes. Not only have the heroes vigorously fought for my case, they wholly believed in my case, and cared about my daughter and me. They fought for the family my daughter knew since birth, this declares them compassionate heroes. We won my case. We made history and protected not just my rights, but also others in similar circumstances. We did it, but really, Deanna and her team did it. I call her my friend and she will always have a spot in my heart. She was able to return the light of my life to me and I will never ever forget that. Thank you so much Deanna, words cannot in any form truly express what you have been able to do for my daughter and me. Until the end of time, I thank you.
