Deborah Zitomer Esquire LLC

Five stars is not enough. I have been mired in family court for 15 years. My docket has over 600 entries – possibly the most in Montgomery County. I have hired several distinguished family lawyers and met many others since 2006. I have never had the inclination to write a review about any of them, until now. Deborah Zitomer is accurate, wise, patient, gracious, ethical, responsive, and empathetic. She connected with me on a personal level to understand and empathize with my situation. She has always been quick to return my call, email, or text, and she collaborates with me to form a plan or next step. Her understanding of the law, and her insights into the personalities of the judges and other lawyers in the courthouse, are invaluable. I have learned through Deborah that you execute based on the personalities. Cookie-cutter plans do not work. Deborah knows the details of family law better than anyone I’ve met, and she patiently explains them so I understand my options and possible outcomes. There are never surprises. Whether you think you have a routine family law matter, or you think you’re dealing with a hostile adversary (or even a hostile judge), you want Deborah at your side.

She IS LITERALLY THE WORST! She didn't notify me of a hearing...went to the hearing, "represented" me" and ended up costing me thousands of dollars. DO not give this woman your money! Also she always sounds like eating sunflower seeds. Do not hire this woman.

I received my divorce decree that Deborah mailed to me along with a letter she enclosed quite recently. I was so very moved by Deborah's mention of the "personal growth" I have had in my life since a little over a year ago. It takes a village in life for many reasons, and I could not have made it through those first months without the support and love of my family and friends. Even though I realize it is the career of family law that Deborah chose to do, I consider myself very fortunate to have met her and had her help and support. It went beyond what she was hired to do. She shepherded everything along for me to help me get through the process and keep moving forward. I can promise anyone that reads this or I can tell this to, that in the support group I became a part of, there was a great deal of disparity about how other attorneys seem to assist others in this process of these painful, sometimes debilitating divorces. I know every situation is different, however, one statement was very evident from others. They felt like their attorneys forgot about them unless they constantly stayed in touch, and some felt abandoned throughout the process. Not me, not at all, because I had Deborah in my corner, and she never once forgot about me. Essentially, she just made me feel protected and she always had my back. Thank you is not enough sometimes, but it is all I have to offer to her. Deborah is a kind, wise and wonderful woman. How lucky I was to meet her over a year ago. My life....is good again, no strike that, it is better than ever.

We retained Deborah in March of 2018 to defend against a common law marriage lawsuit. It was an incredibly stressful situation because of so many unknown factors. She was kind enough to accommodate working schedules and met us on a Saturday. She maneuvered through Bucks County Court and Domestic Relations with ease; was always an email or telephone call away to answer questions that arose and explained the process in a simple, easy to understand way. We won and are confident that having Deborah as our advocate representing us was part of the reason we did.

Deborah is one of the most caring and dedicated child custody lawyers. She is extremely knowledgeable but also looking out for a child’s best interest. Deborah knows all aspects of child custody law and will fight for what’s right and fair. My situation was very complex to begin with but combined with other issues I was facing Deborah’s knowledge of the law and understanding of what’s needed, she was able to guide me on the right path. You don’t need to have a lawyer tell you what you want to hear, you need to have a lawyer who will listen to your needs and help you get the best outcome for your child. Don’t spend money on lawyers who promise the world but hire one like Deborah who is honest caring supportive and knowledgeable. No matter the time of day or the rambling sentences I would do Deborah always understood this was personal for me at one of my most vulnerable times in life and gave me the time and guidance I needed.
