Posted by Charles | September 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

A great attorney who has become a trusted friend

After a prolonged separation, and with three children, I consulted an experienced attorney who strongly recommended that I see Deborah Grover. From the very beginning, Attorney Grover provided me with legal advice that has proven to be sound over the past 15 years. My divorce involved contested cu...stody and Attorney Grover was experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate with regard to my situation and the situation of my children. Her experience, knowledge, and compassion were also carried over into her advocacy for me and my children to ensure that a fair and equitable settlement was made. As the situation and the needs of the children changed over the years, I’ve returned to court a number of times and each time, Attorney Grover has gone way beyond what was required to represent me. She has always explained, in the clearest terms possible, what was at stake and what I might reasonably expect with regard to an outcome. Today, I again have a happy and fulfilling life and I am grateful to Attorney Grover and to her staff that I’m able to say that.

Great Divorce Attorney

If you are researching a divorce lawyer, who will fit your needs, you are in the right place. Just as I was doing my research in looking for a lawyer to council me, I found Deborah Grover. Divorce can be a long & painful process and Attorney Grover stood beside me every step of the way. She truly “wa...lked the walk” with me. Her attentiveness and availability to any of my questions or needs were tireless & insurmountable. Her staff was always on hand & willing to assist me with smiles, compassion & professionalism. I hired Attorney Grover because of her years of experience. She proved to me that she was capable, competent, & ethical. In the end she managed to help me find my true self again.

Deborah Grover very professional, thorough highly recommend

Attorney Grover did an outstanding job in preparing and presenting my case. She was very attentive to details and made herself available at all times for her client. She is obviously very well respected in the judicial system and legal community and is a most knowledgeable divorce attorney. She hand...led a most difficult case in an impeccable manner. Her staff was very supportive and helpful as well. She is an excellent choice for anyone going through a divorce. Very highly recommended!

Debbie is absolutely the best

There is truly no better attorney than Debbie. I don't know what I would have done without her. She was always professional, witty, intelligent and incredibly compassionate when handling my very complex and highly emotionally charged divorce and custody case. I actually hired her for two divorce c...ases. She was always there for me, my son and even my elderly mother, to make sure we were all ok.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
