Click to report rating    12/27/24   5     5     5     5     5   There are not enough words to convey how Debbie and Nat helped me overcome my trepidation when consulting about my divorce. First and foremost, I cannot express how very happy and fortunate to have selected Debbie to represent me. Simply put, Debbie is diligent, friendly and caring. Both Debbie and Nat made me feel like family with their sincerity, keeping me informed and up to date on what was transpiring. From start to finish, I was informed and guided so every process went very smoothly. Thank you and a very blessed new year to both of you. RID: 271648
Click to report rating    12/3/24   5     5     5     5     5   Divorce is an incredibly painful process, but throughout it, Debbie was there for me. She gave me tough love when necessary, while also offering unwavering moral support during my lowest moments. She never wavered in her commitment to protecting my interests and my child’s well-being. There was a point during the process when she asked me to trust her and her unique approach, and I’m so grateful that I did. Debbie is an exceptional divorce lawyer. Her deep understanding of the intricacies of the pension system and her ability to guide me through complex legal matters were invaluable. Words can’t fully capture how amazing Debbie is, but it’s enough to say that she is a truly remarkable woman. RID: 271404
Click to report rating    10/26/24   5     5     5     5     5   Debbie Fiss is an excellent lawyer with years of experience. She knows the process inside and out and takes the time to explain things with patience and ease. Although it seems like a strange thing to say, I always looked forward to my meetings with Debbie. It was like having a good friend help you through the divorce process. Debbie was always on top of things and communicated to me often about what was happening. My ex-husband's lawyer often took their time, and I know the process would have taken a lot longer if Debbie had not been there to keep things moving along. She was great at fighting for the best for myself and my two kids. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone who is looking for a lawyer to guide them through the divorce process. RID: 271113
Click to report rating    10/5/24   5     5     5     5     5   Will any one of us ever be ready for a divorce? It’s an emotional hurricane. You know it’s coming, you know it’s too late to run, so do you just ride it out? Oh, and there is no “school" to teach you what to do during the "hurrivorce" Hence, what do you do? I was scared, confused, my world was upside down and I am a man, so why would I ask for help?’ Then I met Debbie Fiss. Within minutes of meeting Debbie, her brilliant intellect turned my chaotic world into tranquility. Debbie listened, removed my doubt, explained my rights and helped me understand the divorce process. She wasted no time and the same day filed the divorce and even got hold of the Sheriff in a different state to serve the papers. One year later, and after gracefully circumventing EVERY possible curveball thrown at us, Debbie settled the case, filed the final papers expeditiously and I am already divorced! Thank you for caring about me and giving me this new lease on life, Debbie! RID: 270949
Click to report rating    8/3/22   5     5     5     5     5   A truly beautiful soul!! If I could put 10 stars I would! I felt defeated, I felt hopeless, and I was in search for a new lawyer relentlessly. Then, I found Debbie. From the first conversation, I felt connected to her immediately and felt her warmth. Her communication skills are phenomenal and she always responds back extremely quickly. I felt very comfortable to be in the presence of Debbie. During upsetting situations she has brought me so much comfort, peace, and reassurance. She knows how to show you the positive side to everything and she just gets it. She is always on top of everything quickly and gets things done. The effort is truly there. Thank you Debbie, for being so caring and really going the extra mile for me!! You are nothing less of an extreme blessing that has come into my life! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! - Heather Tabano RID: 261127
Click to report rating    8/31/21   5     5     5     5     5   I needed a divorce attorney and was running out of time responding to papers. I was calling everywhere; I would get answering services or the run around with no solution that was costly. I was discouraged, scared and nervous, I took a chance and called the law office of Deborah G. Fiss Esq., and she picked up herself (most of the lawyers I contacted were away)! First thing she did was calm me down and guided me on what I needed to do to make sure nothing would default with how I answered. She also gave me an appointment for consultation within a few days of our first conversation. My initial meeting with her went smoothly. I was initially greeted by her staff, who are warm and endearing. The whole office was willing to help me when I needed it the most. The consultation was breaking down the process and reassuring me there will be no surprises(on her part). I knew right away, that she would be representing me in my divorce. She is confident, intelligent and knowledgeable with e RID: 230329

 6/18/19   5     5     5     5     5   If you are searching for a Divorce/Custody attorney than look no more - Debbie is the one for you! With over 20 years of experience, Debbie knows the law and will let you know what is realistic and not. I remember going into her office in complete fear of losing custody of my child. Debbie advised me to remain confident and to trust her and even went on by ensuring me that I will get at-least joint custody and that’s exactly what I ended up receiving. Debbie is very compassionate and has a lovely and lively personality; however when it’s time for business she is intensive and will fight for her clients. During this difficult stage, most clients are an emotional wreck but Debbie knows what she is doing and will focus on what is in the best interest of the child. She is very blunt with you but it’s all in the best interest of her client and remaining focused at the task at hand. Thank you Debbie for all of your hard work! RID: 212199
     4/23/19   1     1     1     1     1   Debbie was a lousy lawyer. These reviews must have been written by her friends and family members. She charged a fortune, didn't write papers and didn't know the law. RID: 210586
Click to report rating    12/3/18   5     5     5     5     5   Debbie is the best you can get. She is knowledgeable, personable and strategically oriented throughout my consultation. I consulted with other attorneys before Debbie and she was the only one who really cared on a much deeper level, and actually wanted to help you get through this painful chapter of your life. After the initial consultation, Debbie quickly moved forward with our action plan. Everything went accordingly to what she had predicted,and they were done timely, effectively and efficiently. Debbie was also fantastic in court. The stark contrast between Debbie and the opposing counsel really proves that she is the best in the business. And on top of that, she doesn't over charge and the fees to acquire her services are more than reasonable and definitely worth every penny. Looking back, going to that consultation with Debbie was probably the best decision I have ever made.I honestly can not imagine how things would turn out without her. RID: 206154

 12/1/17   5     5     5     5     5   My marriage was wonderful until, one fine evening when I was faced with divorce and all the ugliness that comes attached with it. I did not know exactly what to do or what the best course of action was in this unusual situation. Then by the grace of God,I was introduced to the nicest Attorney I have ever met, Debbie Fiss. She is trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, hard-working, but most importantly she is fair person. She was superb in this entire process. She definitely delivered the results I hoped for, from the start. I would recommend her in a heartbeat, and that is god's honest truth! Debbie, thank you! RID: 193527

 10/27/17   5     5     5     5     5   Searching for a divorce lawyer is something you don't always plan for, but goodness gracious was I happy to have found Debbie Fiss. She had all the attributes I was looking for in a divorce lawyer and then some!! Not only is Debbie very knowledgeable, experienced, fierce litigator and negotiator but she is also an amazing human being. Debbie is not afraid to keep you focus on whats most important. (In my case my children) Debbie genuinely cared about me and my children and helped us navigate around some very special circumstances. What was the end result of working with such a caring, attentive and lovely woman like Debbie? Well aside from the security of having someone on your side to safe guard your future and interest you also are guaranteed to make a lifelong friend. Best advise I can give someone that hires Debbie as their lawyer is once the relationship feels right(and it will!!) place all your trust in her because she truly knows what she is doing.Lastly kudos to great st RID: 192264

 10/6/17   5     5     5     5     5   After searching for a lawyer and reading numerous reviews, I came across Debbie’s reviews and knew right away that she was the one for me. You see, I’m the type of person that likes to deal with people who are lively and have some spunk. Going through a divorce is tough enough, having a lawyer that’s mundane makes it tougher. Debbie was everything I needed and more. On my way to meet her for our first appointment, I thought I was surely going to have an emotional break-down in front of her. But the opposite happened. She made me feel empowered, and did so every time I met her thereafter. When I was unsure about how to handle things, Debbie talked me through (without being pushy) and kept the ball rolling. Being a good lawyer is one thing, having a great personality puts her over the top. I’m happy to have met her during this difficult period in my life and while I hope to never see her again under the same circumstances, I’m happy to know that she’s just a phone call away.

She's honest, no-nonsense, smart, and kind. She has an uncanny way of knowing what you need, even if you don't know how to express it. She doesn't pull punches. She gets the job done. And she does it all with a smile and a sense of humor. If you are looking for someone you can trust to work with you through difficult times, I can recommend Debbie Fiss without hesitation.

Her knowledge of the Queens court system is a huge asset, and her experience with both divorce and family law - and being an advocate for me was truly outstanding. I trust her legal advice, and will definitely rely on her judgement and expertise on other minor details re: the divorce. Her efficiency and effectiveness led to a satisfactory resolution.

 12/22/16   5     5     5     4     4   I had started divorce discussions with a Manhattan Divorce lawyer because I thought someone good and close to work would work best for me. My Manhattan lawyer recommended I use Debbie because she knows what she's doing (he recommends her to his friends and family) and she knows all the players in the Queens system - all of them (Judges, mediators, appraisers, etc). My ex was very combative but Debbie was still able to help us unwind 18 years of marriage and custody of our two kids in under a year. I got better custody arrangement than I expected, better child support arrangement than expected and finished proceedings just under the budget I set. I would absolutely hire her again (but hope I don't have to). RID: 178321

 6/3/16   5     5     5     5     5   I am currently working with Ms. Fiss on a child custody case, I would highly recommend if you require legal counsel in this area. The knowledge and 30 plus years of experience in her practice of law was clear when I met Ms. Deborah Fiss for a consultation. I also felt an appreciation to someone that unequivocally understood the legal dilemma that I was experiencing. Upon detailing my case, she instantly had a strategy to implement. I was ecstatic when Ms. Fiss informed me that she would be able to take my case. Now, a year later, I know it was the right decision and I was very fortunate to have discovered Ms. Fiss. She is a seasoned veteran when it comes to her craft as well as being available, trustworthy & fierce. Ms. Fiss is very impressive which is evident by her level of professionalism and is a straight shooter with a touch of class. RID: 170035

 5/12/16   5     5     5     5     5   I would recommend Deborah Fiss to anyone in need a a lawyer for anything related to family court. She is professional, kind, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. When I first came to her for a consultation, I was emotional, sad, distraught, couldn't think straight or really put anything in perspective. However, she helped me see and understand what was happening with my daughter's father and his threats with clarity and helped me regain my confidence so I can continue to be a mother and work with greater peace. In her consults, she always facilitated a way for me to put things in perspective and made it clear that ALL is about what is best for my daughter. She is also very reassuring in person and via email. She answers your questions and tells you exactly how things work. She really does care about her clients and tries to do what is best for them, especially children. She is truly amazing and worth it! I will use her if and when necessary without a blink of an eye.

 8/18/15   5     5     5     5     5   The first thing that I would like to say is please ignore any negative reviews about Debbie. These people have no clue what Debbie is all about. Debbie Fiss is a phenomenal attorney and a great person. I myself found Debbie through these reviews. I could see how she was when rebutting the negative remarks. She was the only Attorney who actually responds to those who give negative reviews and two of them are from people who are not even her clients! At the time I hired Debbie, I had been going through a tumultuous divorce and custody battle for 5 years. My three previous attorneys only cared about my money-not my daughter and not me. When I had my initial consultation with her, I was extremely drained and emotionally distraught. Debbie explained to me thoroughly what we were going to do. She is extremely dedicated, compassionate and is always available which you will never get from other attorneys. I have e-mailed her on weekends and late nights and she always responds.

I came to her broken and afraid and within that initial consultation meeting, I felt a shred of confidence come through and I knew all would be good. I was immediately impressed not only with her professionalism and law wisdom but with the way she made me feel comfortable and secure in the knowledge that I deserved more than I expected. She's smart, she has an immense arsenal of knowledge regarding divorce laws. She walks into the courtroom and takes control. There wasn't a moment when I didn't trust her. Everybody knows her and respects her. I knew I couldn't have ask for a better lawyer. My case was extremely successful and I have Deb to thank for that. I was pleased with all she did and continues to do for me. RID: 148663

 7/7/14   5     5     5     5     5   I don't wish divorce on anyone, but if you are going that route, Deborah Fiss is that one power tool to have by your side. She is tough and knows the law. She will fight for your rights and guide you through the process with ease and professionalism. Deborah gave me options on how to proceed and I was in control of how I wanted my divorce to turn out. Also, having children involved makes the whole process a lot more delicate. She was able to combine my child support, child custody and divorce all into one which saved me time and took me away from the ugliness of it all. In the end I am very happy with the outcome of my divorce and have been able to move on as a new person, a stable mother (emotionally & financially) and most important a confidant woman, all thanks to Deborah - my secret weapon.

Click to report rating    4/21/14   5     5     5     5     5   I was married to my ex-husband for 20 yrs, the last 10 of which were torturous for me. I decided to stay in until my daughters graduated. The first time I met Debbie was when she came into restaurant, which my ex-husband and I owned for many years. She was so personable and friendly that we exchanged business cards. I tucked away her card as it was well-designed, thoughtful, and creative. This may seem irrelevant, but, in fact, it’s all in the details. Her character shows itself in these details. Two years later, I called Debbie in need of her services. I was not interested in fighting for the best settlement. I really just wanted out of the marriage. I was lucky to have found Debbie. She was empathetic and understood the reason for my impatience. Hence she encouraged me not to settle for less than I deserve. She did all the fighting for me. Needless to say, I received a great settlement, one which I never expected. Today I live a beautiful life in my own apartment. Thank you Debbie! RID: 135671
Click to report rating    3/26/14   5     5     5     5     5   I retained Debbie to represent me in my divorce. Debbie is an experienced professional who is personable, confident and compassionate. She genuinely cares about her clients and her dedication is unwavering. She is able to assess a situation logically and quickly and then provide appropriate legal advice. She has established respectful and professional working relationships with opposing attorneys. It says a lot when her opposing attorneys like and respect her (see her peer endorsements and reviews on AVVO). Therefore I think that Debbie is like the “Divorce Attorney Whisperer”—she can be persuasive in a difficult situation and achieve a desired end result that is fair and respectful to all involved (although I have seen her claws come out in court to protect my interests when it was necessary). Debbie is also a “Diva,” a woman of rare, outstanding talent and extremely independent. She has a way to connect with people, is highly intelligent and a compassionate person. RID: 134468

Debbie cut through the delays, layed waste to the opposing counsel, quite masterfully, and still maintained her her smile, poise and humble demeanor. I would advise her future clients to not mistake her smile, friendly attitude or calming nature as someone who will not get the job done, she is a legal Ninja! Debbie became my own personal SEAL TEAM 6 in court, and believe me when I tell you, she got not only the outcome I needed but a sense of relief I have not had in 3 years.

The cheerful and charming vibe of her office, along with her vibrant and animated personality, is what made me realize that she was “the one”. She has this spunk, and this uplifting and humorous energy that makes such a devastating experience not seem as excruciating. But, don’t get it twisted, she’s a tough cookie when needed and will surprise you when she transforms into a dragon lady, just don’t take it personal, it’s all done with good intention. Her no-nonsense demeanor is what gets things done and her friendly disposition, tied in with her good rapport with almost everyone in the court house (I’m not kidding you, everyone knows and loves her, which is clearly an advantage) is what makes the process so smooth and almost stress-free. She’s about business and she’s about getting what’s best for you. Debbie does her best at making a gruesome experience an enjoyable roller coaster ride. Two words about Debbie: She cares! RID: 131607

Debbie is well respected in the court system, by her colleagues as well as by those she represents. She is worth a lot more than what she charges. She is always available and reachable by phone or email. It’s unusual to find an attorney like her. She is a great attorney. She fought very hard in my divorce case.

One of my children has special needs- and Debbie is very sensitive to his issues and went out of her way to educate herself about them in order to best help him in the long term. She was extremely accurate in her judgement and knowledge of the situation and her specialty- divorce, family and matrimonial law. She was proficient and very fair allocating my time and money , always professional in court, and an extremely tough negotiator. She will be tough with you too- but only if that is what you need in the long run! What separates her from the rest is that she truly, personally cares for her clients and their families and strives to get the besy outcome for everyone involved. She was always supportive and available, going the extra mile during a difficult time and helping her clients move on with their lives as intact as possible. RID: 130764

 12/15/13   5     5     5     5     5   Debbie was recommended by my friend, who has a working experience with Queens Court System. She guides me every aspect of my case with care, backed by her experience. Truly professional. She is also very fair and realistic in terms of expectations, yet always willing to go the extra mile to meet my ultimate goal. She has always been responsive and prompt to answer questions. Her office staff are very supportive as well. Debbie not only helps me deal with the court matter but also helps me grow as a person throughout this difficult time. She really cares. Another quality that makes her outstanding is that her straightforward nature with the warmest heart. She does not hesitate to give me advices that is difficult to hear. And most often they are valuable lessons I can learn from. Also she saved me a lot of money because she really know what's necessary and what's not. She is the right lawyer for me and I feel fortunate that I was able to find the best lawyer for my family law needs. RID: 128563

Most importantly, and in testimony to her professionalism, she will always advocate for what's in the best interest of the parties' children. She has guided me through an arduous divorce, offered advice and explained things along the way, and provided an optimistic yet realistic path forward. I recommend her highly. RID: 128410

 10/4/12   5     5     5     5     5   I am/was Debbie Fiss client. I am also an attorney. As an attorney I held Debbie, and her staff, to a very high standard. I did alot of research including speaking to quite a few people and consulting with several other attorneys before even choosing her to represent me. All I can say is "WOW". I was so impressed. She did an excellent job in every aspect of the case. She is highly intelligent, caring, compassionette, and tenacious. She walked me through the hardest stretches of my life and would routinely call me even when she was on vacation. She managed the most difficult issues imaginable such as forensics, maintenace, child support, and custody with ease. At the conclusion of my case I even had custody of my adolescent daughter. She is not just a great lawyer she is a great person!!I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I got all of this for a fair and reasonable fee. RID: 92583

Click to report rating    1/2/12   5     5     5     5     5   I retained Ms. Fiss for my divorce on the recommendation of a friend who utilized her services to handle her divorce. I was able to get through the very emotional process with Debbie who has nurturing instincts and the client's and children's best interests at heart. She is patient, kind and caring and her fees are extremely reasonable. In fact, Debbie was able to negotiate with my ex-husband's attorney so well, we were able to avoid any court appearances. What could have been an intolerable situation was handled with grace, empathy and a professional mannerism not found in many people. She is ably assisted by an administrative support team who maintains the caring and calming environment while providing stellar service. Debbie is strong, articulate, professional and caring. No time is ever wasted which is how Debbie was able to get things done with quiet efficiency. I highly recommend Debbie Fiss for anyone requiring expert legal counsel. Leslie B RID: 57998
Click to report rating    12/15/11   5     5     5     5     5   Deborah G. Fiss has the experience to optimally guide you through the family court system. As a father of a beautiful 4 1/2 year old girl and being in court proceedings since my daughter was 3 days old (spent first 4 years with a different attorney), I can proudly say that having Debbie as my Attorney was a God sent. Debbie is strategic, well prepared, and very humanly sensitive. She'll help you understand the legal process and help you with the emotions involved particurlarly when the system seems to single you out and unfair decisions are made. Debbie is well respected in the court system and her way of coming across judges and other attorneys is just magical. Thank You Debbie! B.I. from NJ RID: 57058
Click to report rating    8/30/11   5     5     5     5     5   didn't know this was here but now that I found it I would like to thank Deborah Fiss and her staff for all they did during my divorce. She is very good at what she does and well respected in the court system. She not only did what she promised to do but also took great interest and time with me and my two sons helping us with all the emotions that go with a divorce. She is well worth her fee and DOES NOT over charge, but rather tries to get things taken care of quickly. Without her knowledge, spunk, caring and trustworthiness, my divorce would have been a nightmare. Instead it was a nightmare for the other side. Everything she did was always in my best interest and when things seemed to be falling apart she was always a calming force to show me how everything was really working for the good even if I didn't see it at that moment. Thank you so much for being so good at what you do. From beginning to end you worked your tail off and EARNED your fee! Thank you - Eileen RID: 51063

Click to report rating    11/2/10   5     5     5     5     5   Thanks to Deborah, I have my kid with me. I interviewed close to 10 attorneys before getting to her. She is smart and has a positive attitude, always open to conciliate. Even before the case started, she did the right steps to be ahead in the process. Deborah is very knowledgeable with the court procedures and explains to you what is coming next. She also explains to you how the time of her services has been spent. Of course, as any other person passing through a divorce, I was afraid of my lawyer extending the case to overcharge, but she got a fast resolution of the case by her conciliatory philosophy. In order to be fair with this review, I will suggest to her to be more open to silly questions coming from his clients, remember that we have no clue, a lot of anxiety and, I would say, tremors. I strongly recommend Deborah as attorney. Best regards from Nicholas, my kid. RID: 36788
Click to report rating    3/21/10   4     4     2     2     1   This lawyer is not as good as described below. She did not do her job well throughout my divorce process. Instead, she charged me a huge amount of money, promised so many things and at the end, all her promises meant nothing. My ex's attorney was very strong. He really fought for his client. Deborah charges money before she does anything. All she needs is money. Her office staff is not as good as described also. One of the secretaries was rude with me on the phone. I would not recomment this lawyer to anybody. RID: 28445

Click to report rating    1/23/09   5     5     5     5     5   I have known Debbie Fiss for the last three years and she has saved me from being incarcerated two and one-half years ago. Currently, she is on track to help me to get my life in order regarding my child support obligations. I met her at a time in my life when everything was going wrong after having made every possible mistake in Court. Moreso, I had received bad guidance previously. She is worth more than the reasonble hourly rate she charges and her billing is exactly accurate without padding. My name is Seth Joseph Antine and my email address is santine@citi-habitats.com is you need any other reassurance about Ms. Fiss. RID: 15230
