Family issues of any kind are tough. If you find yourself in a position where you need a family attorney, Debra is the best! She is very straightforward, diligent and knowledgeable. My case was going slow until I hired Debra. I hired Debra and within a day she had a motion filed. I had another problem arise and letters were sent out. Debra is very very very well known in the family circuit. Family matters important and tDebra treats them as such. If you find yourself in a position where you need a GOOD family attorney, do your family a favor and go with Debra, she is the BEST.

I greatly appreciated Attorney Salisbury's clear and helpful advice before we went before an adoption review committee. She was also very helpful and prepared when it came time to adopt our child. She prepared us ahead of time with the questions that were going to be asked and was very kind. I highly recommend Attorney Salisbury.

Debbie helped us through a very difficult situation with our adopted daughter and could not have been more supportive and qualified in getting us the best outcome possible. I would recommend her to anyone in need.

Debra provided us excellent advice. She is a pit bull For her clients. She was with us each step of our attempts to get visitation with our grandson.

Debra represented my son in a very complicated and messy case. She was forthright from the beginning and gave us a very clear picture of what we were up against and what we could expect. She was able to cut through all the dirt and formulate a clean defense. She gave us great advice, and was very compassionate; truly wanting the best for our family. Debra is a fierce opponent and very passionate about doing what is right. She represented us with focused integrity. I felt she was totally in our corner and am grateful that she was able to give my son a voice when no one else was willing to listen. She is well versed, totally prepared, respected and a formidable opponent in the courtroom. She was able to get our case dismissed and we are truly grateful. When your life and your family is on the line, don't try to go it alone. You absolutely NEED someone with Debra's caliber to be your advocate.

I hired Debra Salisbury in a recent reopened child custody case. We were granted everything I had asked for in court plus a reimbursement for her attorney fees, which is more than I could have hoped for. She is pricey but worth every penny and she did not retain me until it was clear that we had enough evidence to go to court. I wished I would have had her for my divorce proceedings as my ex probably would not have gotten away with as much as he did. She was prepared to a T, asked the right questions in court and would also contact me after hours on weekend days when it was needed. She is a perfectionist, upfront, and did not waste my time and money.

Ms. Salisbury was contacted the day prior to a shelter hearing for my son in 2009. She saw us the same day, had a very reasonable charge, and presented our case perfectly resulting in DCF returning our 5 month old baby that afternoon. Being falsely accused of abuse is incredibly difficult to go through, and DCF seems like a powerhouse you cannot question. Ms. Salisbury made it clear we had been cooperative and that their argument for taking our son was an unnecessary medical procedure. We prevailed and DCF never tried to take our child after the correct medical test was administered. If we had not found her, we may have lost our son or had him undergo a terrible procedure, for no reason. If you need an attorney to cut to the heart of your argument, understands the judges and their ideals, is effective to the max, and cares about people in a tough position, choose Ms. Salisbury.

She is a great attorney! She has represented me in a couple cases with my children. My first case was a DCF case and I was fighting to get my child back because of wrong choicesin my life. She was very clear with me about if I was not going to do the right thing she was not going to represent me. looking at this she was standing up for my child the one that did not have a voice. I honor her integrity. I have watched many attorneys only care about the person paying them and not the best interest of the child. Needless to say I did the right thing and Debra fought to reunite our family. That was 7 years ago and she has represented me in all my cases since. Today I have all my boys in my life. She has been a voice for my family and I. I have 3 boys today that are not faterless and I could not of done it without Debras help!
