Highly respected by courts, peers, and clients.

Deb Grover is a very professional, highly respected attorney by the courts, and her peers. She is experienced and compassionate to the needs of her clients and their families. She is an eliquent speaker in court, and makes her clients feel at ease during a time that is extremely stressful. She is cal...m and assertive during court, and always looks to a fair resolution. She was amazing during a very stressful time in my life. I have recommended Deb to several friends who have needed an advocate, because she as well as her staff are patient and committed to their clients.

They Don't Get Any Better

I hired Attorney Grover based on recommendations from several friends. Some had hired her. Others faced her as opposing counsel, and wished they had hired her. Deborah and her staff helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. The level of professionalism and expertise in this firm is way... above par. The creativity and unique approach to each case is what impressed me the most. You can get counsel at a cheaper rate, but you won't save any money in the long run. Attorney Grover doesn't waste time and gets incredible results. I faced a tough challenge in my case, but we got to a fair and equitable settlement thanks to this firm's unparalleled experience and expertise.

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.

Wonderful lawyer

Deborah Grover is quite simply a wonderful lawyer. She was recommended to me by another (non-divorce) lawyer, who told me to “get her before my spouse does!” He was right. My own divorce was complicated and contentious; unfortunately, we went all the way through a full-blown trial, and I don’t want ...to think about what it would have been like without Deb by my side. She is reasonable, knowledgeable and fair, and she truly helped me every step of the divorce process. She took the time to explain the law, what I could expect, what I might have trouble with, and she prepared me thoroughly for the time we spent in court. Deborah Grover has an outstanding reputation in Connecticut, and it is well-deserved. I am deeply grateful to her for helping me end my failed marriage and get on with what has turned out to be a great new 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."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 06

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."
