Divorce and separation are very hard. This is incredibly difficult when there are children involved. For single dads it?s very tough, the laws make it harder for us. I?ve been working with Debra from the beginning. It?s hard to describe how talented this woman is. She?s had my best interests at heart as well as my children. She?s helped me work through this tough time and I?ve felt supported and informed. Grateful for her and her team.

I hired Debra - she handled my case with all of the details and patience needed in tough times such as divorce. I couldn't have asked for more compassionate law firm to handle my case and when the time came she was as aggressive as necessary. I'm quite positive that had I chose another firm to represent me, I would not have been happy with the outcome.

Debra Schoenberg is an outstanding attorney. Divorce is an extremely challenging time for all. Debra impressed me every step of the way. She is able to steer her clients through complex issues ranging from personal to the legal process. She guided me through each dilemma and helped me keep a level mindset. Post divorce I couldn?t be happier and this was a strong result of the decisions made along the way.

I am very grateful to Debra Schoenberg who is helping me through my divorce now and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a superb lawyer to handle his/her divorce process. She has a brilliant mind and has been protecting my rights and interests since the first consultation. She eased my fears, took my stress away and offered me sound advice and a thoughtful plan of action which later proved to be a genius one. She made sure that my rights are being protected and has successfully filed and won a few motions that drastically changed my situation for the better. Ms Schoenberg is always a couple steps ahead of the opposing side and her problem solving skills in the legal field are very developed - she seems to know all the ins and outs of family law. She will fight for you!

I normally do not write reviews but in Debra's case I just had to make the exception. A family member needed strong legal counsel for a situation that could have been detrimental to their life and livelihood long term. I did hours of research for an attorney who is an advocate for family rights ? Debra was a perfect fit. I contacted her office and this resulted in an immediate phone exchange and setup of an appointment. Over the course of this battle she was available at any time to answer questions. She was always thoroughly prepared, professional and always gave excellent advice. After this experience, I would recommend Debra to anyone in need of an attorney.

I used Ms Schoenberg for a Custody case, everything she said was right on the money. She told me what to expect and didn't sugar coat the truth of how difficult this would be. She always answered my texts and kept me informed. and best of all she listened to what I said and didn't blow me off... while I wish I could of won more time with my little one, I wasn't surprised of the out come because she was honest, I ended up with more time than we thought I could get because she heard me... thank you for all your help!

I am very pleased with the outcome of my divorce - it was a difficult situation. Uncertainty of how my financial situation would look, how would custody work with my kids.

I thought Schoenberg's high fees were insurance against basic legal mistakes. The firm: 1. Didn't know my hearing was in person until the day before. Not great when I live hundreds of miles from the courthouse 2. Misfiled my response, so it was rejected by the court 3. Failed to re-file it correctly in time for the hearing, meaning my attorney had no legs to stand on in front of the judge 4. Never actually told me the above, but instead did an advisory 180 and advised me to settle out of court at the last minute. I found out about the misfiling independently, months later 4. Billed me $300/h for proofreading by a paralegal, who misspelled every singe name, except for my ex's. The judge, the legal specialists, me -- none of us were spared :) 5. Billed $1K for the substitution of attorney form -- 2 pages, pretty basic -- at the onset, requiring 15 (not a typo) different billing entries. That same doc cost $100 at the end I hired them because I thought high prices meant quality work. This was a mistake I hope I don't make again, but was a very expensive lesson for me to learn. Maybe go with a different firm that has more consistent good reviews, and you can get my lesson on sale, as it were

I'm not satisfied with the manner in which I have been handled as a client. The Firm was hired for a singular purpose only, and I have been changed exorbitantly for a single scope assignment for which I have not received any tangible deliverable; I have NOT changed any direction or instruction for the assignment. No material and/or tangible step has been taken, except for seeking a continuance on the hearing, which has been carelessly handled. There has been no material movement on the matter for which I had retained the Firm. Once again, no hearing has taken place, no material strategy document has been prepared, no expert has been hired, no witnesses have been required to come in, there has been no waiting time for any attorney. Only a continuance has been filed, and I have been charged almost USD 7,000. I expected more from Schoenberg Family Law Group, P.C., given its testimonials and rankings, based on which I decided to engage the Firm.

Horrifying experience: This lawyer is a sham and a charlatan. She took tens of thousands of my money, did absolutely nothing. Never went on a single meeting with me, in fact none of her attorneys did either. When I asked to meet with her for all the money I had paid her, she threatened and said if I ask one more time she will fire me. "Evil" does not describe her well enough. Every attorney I met say the same that she should be the very very last resort anyone should seek. I talked to two attorneys who worked for her and said she is very corrupt and her billing practices are scam practices and that the lawyers don' t last in her firm because she is a nightmare of a boss and a scam artist.
