I had been told by several attorneys that the likelihood of winning Grandparent Visitation Rights in court wasn't very good. At a time when I had lost all hope that I would be able to see my grandson again, I went for a consultation with Deborah Eisenberg. From the moment I met her, she put me at ease, and I felt very comfortable discussing a complicated legal issue with her. Ms. Eisenberg provided legal advice and guidance throughout the process. She coached me and reassured me each step of the way, and I was rewarded with the best possible outcome! Ms. Eisenberg represented the best interests of me and my grandson. I highly recommend her to represent your best interests. She is knowledgeable, honest, reliable, experienced, tenacious and determined. She is professional and trustworthy and will work hard for you. Ms. Eisenberg was instrumental in winning my case. Both Ms. Eisenberg and her staff provided excellent services and were always accessible. I highly recommend Deborah Eisenberg and her staff of professionals to anyone seeking legal representation.

Like many combat veterans, I faced an uphill battle when it came to legal struggles involving divorce and visitation/custody of my child, despite the fact that my injuries never directly impacted my ability or desire to be the best father I could be. Disheartened and overwhelmed by the process, I spent years seeing my only child for a mere 2hours a week, all the while paying my share of child support, daycare costs, etc. This all changed when I was finally connected with Attorney Eisenberg, who validated the injustice(s) I had endured, who encouraged me throughout, and ultimately won me- amongst other things- joint legal custody. This not only changed my life for the better, but also solidified my bond with my daughter, who throughout the years was all too aware of, and disappointed by, how limited our time together was. My only regret is that I wasn't able to hire Attorney Eisenberg earlier on in the process, but I'm forever grateful for her representation.

I hired Debbie as my divorce lawyer about 5 years ago. Going thru my divorce was obviously an extremely tough time for me. I think divorce law is different than any other type of law. Its not enough to simply do your job, but you have to deal with clients going thru tough, emotional times. Debbie, or course, did her "lawyer" duties well, but you'd expect the same from any divorce lawyer. What sets her apart, I believe, from her peers, is her ability to bring a real human touch to the process. At the end, I didn't just consider her my attorney, I considered her my friend; so much so that I invited her to my son's Bar-Mitzvah. Debbie helped me a lot through a very difficult period of my life.

The minute I met with Deborah Eisenberg I was made to feel comfortable. It took me a long time after the first meeting to decide to go forward with my divorce. There was no pushing or hurrying on her part, I was given space to make my own decisions. Once the process was started, the staff and the attorney helped me understand and support me through the entire process. The settlement process was negotiated in an ethical and fair way so that both parties achieved a satisfactory settlement. I would recommend Deborah Eisenberg highly, especially if you want an ethical, knowledgeable attorney to achieve the results you set forth. The only thing more I can say is a big Thank You to her.

While going thru the painful and emotional process of a divorce, I was fortunate enough to find Attorney Eisenberg! She and her staff were professional and caring while guiding me through the divorce process. I was very impressed with the communication that took place between her office and I. Every decision made was extremely important and I felt at ease knowing Attorney Eisenberg had my best interest in mind. She was confident, direct, and clear while advising me to make appropriate decisions. Molly is another attorney in her group who I cannot say enough about! She was very involved with every detail and knew the answers to every question I had, (which were many) ! Both attorney's complimented each other and made me feel very comfortable. Their Paralegal, Holly, Was also very helpful. She emailed and phoned, as needed to insure documents were gathered and presented timely and accurately. I had consulted with several other attorney's prior, and I am very thankful that I had chosen Attorney Eisenberg to represent me. Her fees were fair and in line with the services provided. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position to retain a divorce attorney, You would make a very wise decision to consider Attorney Eisenberg!

Debbie Eisenberg I would recommend attorney Eisenberg over any other lawyer. The first and foremost reason? You will be able to sleep well at night knowing she is on the case. She constantly uses her brilliant intellect to come up with the best possible approach to your unique situation. I cannot stress it enough that she will come up with ways to help you that no one else can. In fact, I was even complimented within the court system for my fine choice of lawyer! Even the opposing counsel will often recommend her after a case when they see how tough and wise an opponent she is. You definitely DON'T want to be on the opposite side of the table from her! You will thank yourself for hiring her. It makes ALL the difference.

Hired Deb and my divorce took 19mos, when it could’ve taken 6mos. She showed up unprepared. In particular she forgot about a large sum of money that was a gift from one of our parents. She unprofessional and looking to get billable hours. Imagine paying $375/hour for 19mos, when it could’ve taken 6mos or less.

I hired Attorney Eisenberg for my divorce case. She charged me an insane amount of money without following through with any of my motions. She is quick to file motions costing you money, but you will never see the outcome of your money. Attorney Eisenberg charged me for multiple unnecessary phone calls that I never even knew she made. When you have court she will decide whether she feels like going or if she should send her other Attorney. You will show up in court expecting to meet her there only to find that she has sent another Attorney to stand in her place with out any prior notifications to you. She is very rude and will make insulting comments towards yourself and your character. The process of divorce is a sensitive time as it is and she lacks any sort of compassion during this emotional period.
