While attending law school as a single parent of a very young child, Deborah earned the highest award available for the hundreds of hours she dedicated to pro bono work benefiting seniors while at Coast to Coast Legal Aid, in addition to her internship with the now retired Hon. Renee Goldenberg. She also earned a CALI book award representing her achievement of the highest score in interviewing and counseling. She has also been honored with inclusion in the Florida Super Lawyers List as a Rising Star for 2020. While up to 5 percent of lawyers in any state can be named a Super Lawyer, no more than 2.5 percent are named as Rising Stars.

Deborah prides herself in providing her clients with a warm, personal touch while practicing law and for her ability to put clients at ease as they go through the sometimes daunting, legal process while remaining an aggressive advocate for her clients.

When she isn’t at the office, she enjoys nature walks, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and playing with her pets.
