About

I have been practicing Family Law for over thirty years from the same location representing  husbands, wives, fathers, mothers and children. This area of law is an emotionally charged one and I therefore work closely with social workers and parenting coordinators to assist the clients in a personal way with the intention of making the process easier and, hopefully, a growing experience. An attorney practicing Family Law plays many roles as the client's legal representative - advocate, friend, coach and adviser.  I feel particularly qualified to practice Family Law as I play those roles with compassion and sincerity. Please contact my office to set up a a consultation for your divorce, custody, or child support matter.

Debbie was an absolute pleasure to deal with! This was my first time dealing with a lawyer and I was wary to say the least. However, I was super impressed. Debbie was attentive, kind, very knowledgeable, and direct. Every time I called with a question she was right there to answer and explain it in laymen's terms. No round around!?! I also believe that her years of experience and knowledge in the court system helped a great deal and sped up the divorce process. Overall I'm so glad I hired her and highly recommend her.

If you are searching for a Divorce/Custody attorney than look no more - Debbie is the one for you! First off Debbie has a great team that works with her who is both extremely professional and knowledgeable. 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 and Mario for all of your hard work! As stated before, if you’re searching for a great divorce/custody attorney – Deborah G Fiss is the attorney for you!

Debbie is simply amazing! We consulted recently and I am without a doubt convinced she is the attorney I want by my side as things move forward. She was professional and direct while empathetic to the situation. She listened to my concerns and answered all questions more than satisfactorily. We ended the meeting with a clear direction should this case proceed. If you are looking for representation, please don’t hesitate to meet with her.

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. She truly listened to my complicated case and all my needs and tailored specific strategies on the case accordingly. After the initial consultation, Debbie quickly moved forward with our action plan. Everything went accordingly to what she had predicted (the filings of the papers, the serving of the documents, etc), and they were done timely, effectively and efficiently. More importantly, since she owns the service company, there is almost no worries in terms of how and if the papers can be properly served. Debbie is always responsive during the whole process, and believe me, if you are calling because you are worried about something, she has already covered it. Debbie was also absolutely fantastic in court. The stark contrast between Debbie and the opposing counsel really proves that she is the best in the business.She followed up before the court appearance, literally held your hands during the court, and her connections in Queens goes a long way as well. 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 am really glad I have her on my side. I honestly can not imagine how things would turn out without her.

Through her compassion, knowledge and persistence Deborah Fiss saved my sanity and brought closure to the most difficult time in my life. She picked up the pieces from my first attorney's mess and got more done in 2 months than the first attorney in 18. Ms. Fiss built relationships in the Queens court system which is very important when hiring an attorney. She is an outstanding communicator whether email or phone - during nights and weekend alike. She offers "tough love" when necessary but is only steering you in the right direction, she won't tell you just what you want to hear but will be completely honest. I wish I would have hired Debbie from conception. I highly, highly recommend!

Deborah went above and beyond my expectations. Her representation for case was outstanding. Her performance was top natch and she fought for my son as well as my rights. Deborah was fair, honest and definitely get the job done. I would definitely use Deborah services again.

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. She is a calming voice of rational thought while other lawyers are quick to exploit your emotions (And cash in $$$), Debbie is not afraid to keep you focus on whats most important. (In my case my children) I appreciate how Debbie positioned my case by paying attention to details, providing counseling and advise while not dragging out the case. 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. Thank you Debbie for helping us all grow!! (Yes even my ex as well!!) 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. P.S. I can't forget the entire office staff which were always ready to help, quickly respond to all my emails and calls!! Love you all!!

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.

Divorce is hard so having an attorney who cares makes all the difference. From the beginning Debbie has aligned my needs and her goals, and every step of the way it has been evident. Her experience handling the courts, the opposition and even her client is why she is the best. Thank you Debbie! -jf
