Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Review for Brianna Christiano and Shannon O'Mara – Law Office of Debra DiMaggio I had the pleasure of working with Brianna Christiano and Shannon O'Mara during a very difficult divorce, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They were assertive advocates for my rights while also being incredibly patient, taking the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions and concerns. Both Brianna and Shannon demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They were quick, thorough, and flexible—accommodating meetings across different time zones with ease. I especially appreciated how supportive they were during an emotionally challenging time. Their clear communication and strong advocacy gave me confidence every step of the way. If you’re going through a tough divorce and need legal representation that is both compassionate and fiercely protective of your interests, I would absolutely recommend Brianna Christiano and Shannon O'Mara.
I worked with Brianna and she was exceptional. I wish I had used her during my divorce many years ago. She helped me understand the process and did an excellent job of setting expectations. Her explanation style helped me in a very stressful time. Many thanks to her!
Brianna was great. She was very organized and very responsive. Brianna thank you for your hard work. This was a very stressful process, but Brianna was very patient and gave me hope. Thanks to you my son has a better living situation.
I was represented by Debra Dimaggio and her firm during my divorce. I primarily spoke with Brianna, but Debra was available as well. This team is more than capable of maneuvering through a difficult divorce. My ex-husband did not negotiate and I still ended up with a favorable settlement. The firm has experience with this personality type and they will "Set you free"!
I worked with multiple lawyers in this law firm on a spur of the moment case that came out of nowhere. The case was extremely unique and had to be micromanaged and had absolutely no room for error. The legal team executed every single step and phase of this case flawlessly. The outcome was nothing short of a miracle. This law form is first class, honest, hard-working, professional, and above all things loyal. They are absolutely incredible.
I worked with Brianna and I can't say enough good things about her. She made this difficult time very easy with her knowledge, expertise, and most of all her support. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.
I needed guidance and counsel for a complicated probate/family law case that was dragging on for years and intractable. Debra and her team, specifically Brianna, were meticulous in reviewing the case, breaking it down to the solvable issues, providing me with the right questions to be asking and helping me understand a reasonable path forward. They are both Extraordinarily professional and responsive and expert at communicating in clear, concise language. Additionally they are sincerely caring about the stress and fear these cases cause and giving me tools to achieve the best and realistic outcome possible Their advice and counsel were invaluable and impossible to overstate.
Debra and her team are amazing!! I mostly worked with Brianna and couldn’t be happier. This is the third divorce attorney I’ve worked with and wow what a difference!! Professional, kind and always quick to respond back! I would HIGHLY recommend them!!!
I worked with Brianna and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. She is very professional, honest and dedicated. She got the job done efficiently. I would highly recommend this firm, especially Brianna! Thanks again!
Deb is tough when she needs to be, but never forgets that every decision effects real people. She kept me and my kids at the heart of the process. Though I do not recommend that anyone go through a long divorce process, I can definitely recommend this team. Deb and Brianna were responsive and supportive throughout.
