She's a fighter!

From the very first meet with Debra Ann Matherne I knew there would be no regrets. She made me feel very much at ease and a burden was lifted. I actually felt like she had everything under control and she doesn't waste precious time. I got the impression by the way she took over my case and by the... way she spoke with such assurance that she is a fighter and she is 100% on my side. I left her office feeling like a won and the battle has only begun. I like her very much and she made me feel safe. Employers should not get away with mistreating their employees and Ms. Matherne believes this whole heartedly... she is great!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
