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.

Attorney Grover Is Excellent

Attorney Grover and her staff provided security and support during a difficult time. Attorney Grover is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Those same characteristics extend to her very dedicated staff namely Diane, Brenda and Kelly. All of who, were a pleasure to work with. I r...eally appreciated that phone calls were returned the same day, the process was well explained and the philosophy was to obtain the best possible outcome with the least amount of emotional turmoil. Attorney Grover is both firm and confident when dealing the opposition. I felt very secure having her in my corner.

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

Great attorney, guide and coach

First and foremost Deb is a great attorney. She has a great reputation and it is well deserved. I retained Deb for her legal skills and was never disappointed. Her wealth of experience and knowledge were a huge asset. However, what set the experience apart for me is how Deb helped me through the ...most difficult time of my life. Divorce is tough but Deb's direct style and open communication gave me the confidence to get through it. She guided me through the divorce process as my attorney, i.e. the key decisions, options and their implications. But she also played the role of coach and gave me the candid & honest feedback I needed when I needed it. I received realistic guidance and practical advice each step of the way from someone I trusted. Deb sets a high standard for herself and for her team. They are great to work with, and are caring and efficient. She also sets a high standard for her clients and will ensure you adequately prepare. I highly recommend Deb and her team to anyone who is going through this unfortunate experience. I cannot imagine having gone through it with any else.

Best Divorce Attorney

Attorney Grover and her staff were absolutely amazing. I was very nervous and emotional through most of the process of my divorce and she made me feel so comfortable. She guided me through the process and I knew she always had my best interests at heart. It was wonderful dealing with her and I was... so grateful for how she made this entire process seem like it was no big deal. I'm so lucky I was referred to her as I couldn't imagine anyone else doing as good a job on my case.

"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."

"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."
