I was in litigation involving an estate and Debra Opri accomplished everything I could hope for and more. I would highly recommend Debra Opri.

Highly recommended! Debra Opri is excellent at any stage in your process .. If you hire her first you have no worries .. Hiring her as your attorney is like having a all time champion in your ring! Ms. Opri can step in anytime and correct or revise a broken case as well and turn it around to your advantage ..or like in my case she can makes miracles happen!

In the beginning of 2014 I married a very high profile athlete. I left my home town of Texas and came to live in my new house in LA. Well in a short period of time things turned for the worse , and I packed it up and headed back to Texas . On my journey home I was frightened to death , what was I going to do about the media , who would I get for an attorney . I knew I needed a tough no nonsense lawyer that could handle what ever big guns he brought to the table . Well I'm a trial TV buff and remembered seeing Mrs. Opri on several of the TV stations giving commentary on different legal issues and remembered among other things she practices family law . So I shot her and email just telling her who I was and what my mess was . I never expected to hear back from her , but the same day I got an email back saying this is my cell please call. I did and to my delight she took my case. When she jumped on board she went straight into action. I was thrilled to have her on my side knowing she had my back fully. Here I was just a 9 to 5 working woman , not a celebrity, and she was willing to fight for me just the same . At the same time allowing me to have my own input on things . Not only was I a client , But I became a friend . There was NEVER a time I could not reach her by email, phone or txt. If she was in trial her wonderful legal assistant would call and try to resolve what ever I thought was the crisis at the moment . Mrs. Opri called me many times during court recesses to discuss things with me . She grew to know me and knew exactly what I needed and wanted out of my divorce . I walked away a very satisfied client . Even to this day she calls or texts to check on me just to see how I'm doing . We created a bond forever . I'm truly thankful for Mrs. Opri. I would absolutely use her again, and definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a fighter in their corner!

I'm LH, founder and director of an international non-profit wellness business. I had a close family member who became very unruly and non-cooperative in my personal and business life. This family member, who worked within the company, believed he should have had control over not only the business but me as well. Over time, as things escalated, it became necessary to contact an attorney. I was referred to Debra Opri who turned out to be a God send! She handled herself in a very professional way with integrity, care and sincerity. She always told me the truth of the matter even if it wasn't comfortable to hear. She handled my case and the family member with a type of dignity and legal knowledge that caused him to not only back away from his threatening position but to give it up completely, allowing me to live and conduct my business more freely. I cannot thank Ms. Opri enough for the great way she handled my case. Her fees were reasonable and she was always available to me. I have subsequently referred her to others and they are as pleased with her as I am. What makes Debra Opri stand out from other attorney's is that she knows her job, she does her job and we, her clients, know she always has our backs.

I had the good fortune of being recommended to Debra Opri for my personal injury case. What a relief it was to retain Ms. Opri after the sub-par attorney I had previously. I must say not only did she secure me a great settlement, but she was also a strong shoulder to lean on during the case. When it came time to settle, Ms. Opri was adamant that I not accept below the value of my case, even though the insurance company had drawn a 'line in the sand' and wasn't offering me very much. Very clearly, Ms. Opri was representing my interests from the very beginning through the end of my case. Not only did she file a lawsuit on my behalf but she fought until she got the money I wanted. You know, we live in times when everyone is for themselves, including lawyers. Not Debra Opri. She puts the client first. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her because she is the best attorney I have ever had. Ms. Opri is smart, a fighter, and she knows how to win. Most important, is that she always made herself available, and was always happy to hear from me. What more can you ask for?

Debra Opri was the best lawyer our family has had. She fought, against corruption, until a win in the Appellate court. My child is safe with me because of her. It was a tough battle I don't think could have been won without the strength of Debra Opri. Every day I am blessed because she fought for my child. Because of her, there is new case law protecting others. Ms. Opri represents her cases with an inexplicable knowledge of the law. She is the lawyer to hire if you want to win. Debra Opri is better than the best of the best.

Debra Opri represented me in a highly litigated case regarding my infant son. I respect her with the highest regard and highly recommend her services. Debra never gave up and won me custody of my son. Not only did she do excellent work and fight for me, she also won multiple appeals for me in the appellate court. I would say she is the best attorney and extremely dedicated to her clients and winning.

My name is LG, about 6 years ago, I retained Debra to help me in a case involving a mal-practice suit against a lawyer. The case was handled so distastefully, that I lost. I did not understand, until I sought some understanding from Debra, who told me I definitely had a case. Debra was so helpful and knowledgeable on these matters and she continued to pursue this case and kept encouraging me to be patient. I had very little understanding of the gravity of this case, until the end, which resulted in me being the victor. This was only one of the many cases in which I had the extreme opportunity to have Debra's expertise show forth. Not only is Debra my attorney, she also is a true friend. Furthermore, I was in a terrible accident which resulted in me having a broken neck and C-3 spinal cord injury with right hemi-paralysis. Debra was a voice for me during the time of my convalescing. She has truly been an inspiration to me throughout my career. Her motivation to see things to the end has inspired me to accomplish many things, i.e., the doctors told me I would never walk again without the use of a walker or wheelchair, but if you see me today, I am very mobile and as I previously stated I give a lot of the accolades to the inspiration which came from Debra. I have and will continue to refer her to all of my friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Debra, I really do love you for all you do!!! You're the best!!! You truly are my friend.

My Name is Michael Thompson and I am writing this review about Debra A. Opri. In 2011 I sought out Debra to help me to legally separate from a business partner. I owned 45% of an Interior Design company for about 15 years, and my business partner owned the other 55%. Through the years he had slowly stopped bringing in business and instead of working he wanted to start incurring debt to pay salaries, etc. Debra advised me on how to properly resign and cut ties so that I could eventually start my own company. We also filed my resignations with the State, so I was not liable for anything that was done improperly after I left. Soon after I resigned, many issues came up with my old business partner that were ugly and threatening towards me & needed to be addressed. This took several months and Debra was able to again help me through all of this in a very ethical way that avoided litigation. I most likely would have done things differently that would not have had such a good outcome. I totally believe that Debra advised me correctly and guided me in a very straight forward way. Her knowledge and expertise enabled me to make as smooth a transition as possible away from my old company. Towards the end, Debra refused to take any payment, because she saw that I was having alot of financial hardship during that transitional period which lasted several months. She must have made that decision long before we were finished with all of my problems, because she kept fighting for me, full force, right until all the issues were resolved. I was shocked at her compassion and generosity. I will always be grateful and indebted to Debra and if I ever have any sort of legal problems in the future I will only use her to help me get through them. She acted professionally and respectfully and with out any negative judgement, which is rare. I can honestly say that Debra helped me survive one of the most stressful things that has ever happened in my life!!!
