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.

Review of Attorney Deborah L. Grover

It's a pleasure to share my experiences with and personal opinion of Attorney Deb Grover. She and her entire staff are simply top notch: experienced, professional and genuinely caring. Deb was always two steps ahead of everything, insuring that not only did I receive a settlement that worked in my f...avor, but more importantly understood my safety concerns and made them a priority. Deb worked with exceptional legal knowledge and diligence to see my divorce was accomplished in a mere 5 months. She was there for me during a time I needed expert legal guidance, as well as someone who helped me stay properly focused on the process over the course of a very difficult and challenging divorce. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of an impending divorce, your first step should be to talk to and then engage an exceptionally well qualified divorce lawyer. Deb Grover is simply the best!

Having her with me, made a traumatic event less painful.

When one files for divorce, the world breaks up in pieces and fear to the unknown future is inevitable. I decided to hire the "best " divorce lawyer by credentials and reputation that I could afford . I went to see Debra by recommendation from an acquaintance expecting to meet someone cold and calcul...ating based on her reputation of being "tough". I was pleasantly surprised to find the caring person and responsible professionals that few have remembered to mentioned. For the following 12 months she guided me, step by step on the legal process unfolding in front of me, actually CARING, that I be treated fairly all throughout, making me think twice or more about each decision and reminding me that what was on stake was not just myself , but the future of my kids if I made the wrong move. She didn't have to do that, but she repeteadly did despite being such a busy person. Her office staff became a support group as well, so important when we feel so hopeless. I was never NOT informed of my rights or Deb's next move on my behalf. No surprises or "I don't knows", even when it comes to her billing and fees. This is why I am taking my time to write this, I LOVE Deb for standing by me when I needed it the most , I am so blessed I met her .

"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."
