Before I sought legal counsel from Deborah Webb, my two other previous attorneys were unable to handle my ex. things got progressively worse and became completely out of control. I was miserable to say the least, but most importantly was losing time and years with my child due to games my ex was playing on my visitation days. I wanted a top attorney and the name Debra Webb kept popping up when I was asking around for recommendations. Hiring her was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I'm not saying total change happened overnight. It's a process, but she was aggressive, and well known enough in the family law field that she was able to work with the opposing counsel to at least sort out major disagreements. She referred me to a trusted counselor who taught me how to deal with my ex, stand my ground, and not put up with abuse. I finally feel like I'm now in control and doing much better. She did twice the work in half the time as my previous attorneys, so her pricing was really the same. If you're looking for an attorney I suggest you interview her.
I had a very painful divorce both financially and emotionally. Ms. Webb got the job done powerfully and professionally. She was there for me for 10 years to represent me as my ex constantly brought up new legal issues with regard to child custody & support. I feel the court greatly respects Ms. Webb which is why I believe my child support proceedings went very smoothly when appearing in front of the judge. She listens well and always took the time to explain complicated legal proceedings. I would highly recommend her. I couldn't ask for a better attorney. Ms. Webb has seen me to my child becoming 18. I'm now finally free from my miserable spouse. I'm much happier with an improved outlook on life and a lot less stress.
