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.

Dissolution

Recently the firm of Deborah Grover represented me in divorce before Judge Winslow resulting is what the legal world calls 'fair and equitable'. The judgement/settlement is a benchmark in my life and that of my kids as one might expect in ending a failed marriage. Three events define my experience ...with Ms. Grover during the year and a half of my case. From the start - a short consultation/review/interview distilled the nature and possible outcomes of various options to answer the complaint. Upon leaving that meeting I understood why she had been recommended to me. I felt a sense of confidence and clear headed long absent in my emotional fog. Secondly - upon Ms.Grover taking the case, I was guided through my legal responsibilities and that of my ex. An arduous task of extensive document review and examination was preformed by the firms' personnel as we prepared for trail. The work was meticulous. Communication at this time was critical. Updates and developments were relayed concisely and efficiently via email and hard copy court records. I found that when a direct call was necessary from or to Ms. Grover, she was completely informed and thinking about the next steps available to me. Lastly - a healthy level of trust developed. I am not alone in this as it was the basis of the original recommendation of Ms. Grover to me. Her lasting impression on me and the outcome of case is one of extraordinary advocacy on a very personal level. Within the clam demeanor I did glimpse the fighter ready to go. A most desirable trait in my mind tempered by experience and keeping me on track. I should mention I think she knows everybody; judges, mediators, expert witnesses, actuaries, other attorneys etc. My sucessful case concluded with fairness under the law and that's really all I wanted. What I got was genuine interest of my wellbeing and that of my kids. My case was probably not unique but obviously it is to me. My review hence is - that this is a firm of expertise, experience and compassion reflective of Ms. Grover.

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!

"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."
