You can search high and low and find no one better than Deb!

From the moment I met Deb and her staff I knew they had my best interest at heart. I have never met an attorney, or person for that matter more caring and dedicated to her craft than Deb. My divorce was emotionally very draining. Deb and her staff kept me focused on what was most important, the safet...y, welfare and my ability to provide for my three girls. I think a less experienced attorney might have dragged my case to trial. Deb was able to keep everything in perspective and cut right to the quick of all issues that arose. Deb and her staff "got me" from that first moment to the very end. All my priority were taken care of in the most professional and concise way possible. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Deb turned what should have been a nightmare into a miracle! I can not say enough about Deb and her staff. If you want the best, hire Deb you will not be sorry!

Excellent Attorney!

When I decided I was ready to file for divorce, I had no idea where to begin but I knew I needed to find a really strong attorney. So I started asking friends and associates for some recommendations and the first thing each and every one of them said was "call Deb Grover". I can't tell you how sc...ared and nervous I was, but from the minute I met with Deb, I KNEW I made the right decision. Deb is so professional, knowledgeable and spot on! She helped me stay strong and focused and kept me going thru this very difficult journey. Her staff is equally amazing, so supportive and helpful every time I called. I am deeply grateful and can now move on to the next chapter in my life....thank you so much Deb!

Best experience because of Deb

From the second the word divorce was mentioned, Deborah was my guidance. She made the whole experience that I thought would be confusing and anxiety ridden the complete opposite. She explained everything to me from start to finish, She answered all my questions even the ones I thought were silly. Her... staff as well as her, made this whole life changing experience a smooth transition. Deb's dedication to my case, both divorce and custody was above what was expected. She knows exactly what she is doing, and was able to guide me. She was a wonderful, well-educated, compassionate lawyer whose love for her client is felt. Deb had to direct me to leave the minor injustices aside and stay focused on what the important issue was, the safety and custody of my son. If we had gone to court (as I think a less experienced attorney might have done) on personal property issues, then the result might have been very different. I followed her advice, even though I know that was hard for you to accept. In the end Deb was right (of course) and I got sole custody of my son who is now safe and sound. Would recommend to any and every one facing this difficult situation.

Deb is the best!

I walked into Deb's office 13 years ago a totally frightened mess. I couldn't see how financially I could afford a divorce, I had no idea how to deal with my husband and I couldn't see a future for myself. Deb showed me a way out. She is the consummate professional, she never wastes your time (and m...oney), she is always prepared--all while being warm and funny and kind! She even won my ex-husband trust! Last year, 10 years after my divorce, I had to call on her again when my ex-husband stopped paying alimony. And again she was kind, and warm and professional, knowledgeable -- and she won! Deb is a terrific lawyer and a lovely person -- I would recommend her to anyone.

Debbie is Great

Debbie and her staff were just amazing. Whenever I needed something they were all there for me. Without her being there for me for the last 11 months I don`t know what I would have done. She not only was a great lawyer but also a great friend. I would`t want anyone else on my side at such a diffic...ult time in my life

"Neither I nor any member of my firm practices family law. Whenever a client, friend or member of the community requests a referral from me for a family law matter, I refer them without hesitation to Deb. Her expertise and knowledge of the law, her professionalism, her ethics and excellent ability to communicate the intricacies of this very difficult and sensitive area of the law are unsurpassed in the region. The respect that the members of the family bar throughout the state have for her is quite evident as well. The clients that I have referred to her have been quite pleased by the service that they have received from Deb and her outstanding staff. She knows the law and she knows how to communicate it in a way that her clients can understand the life-changing decisions that they need to make. These are skills that are quite special for a lawyer in general, but especially in the field of family law.The results speak for themselves."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"My firm does not handle divorce cases, so we frequently need to refer clients to a family law practitioner. Deb Grover is always at the top of my list. She has a wealth of experience, and she is thoroughly familiar with the court system. When we entrust clients to her, they always receive careful attention, practical advice, and realistic guidance about the divorce process. Deb maintains the highest ethical and professional standards, so I feel extremely comfortable sending clients to her."
