Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

I regret choosing Schoenberg Family Law for my LGBTQ+ divorce. Their harassment over billing was relentless, and their disrespectful attitude towards me was shocking. I gave them detailed financial and custody information but received a $84,000 bill. Their poor communication made me feel completely undervalued.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Schoenberg Family Law failed to meet my expectations. Their harassment over fees was constant and aggressive, and their disrespectful attitude only worsened the situation. I submitted comprehensive documents for my LGBTQ+ family law case but was charged $83,000. Their poor communication and lack of transparency made me feel completely unsupported.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Working with Schoenberg Family Law was a huge mistake. I was continuously harassed about payments, and their disrespectful treatment made everything worse. Despite providing all required documentation, including asset division and custody details, I was billed $85,000. Their aggressive tactics and lack of respect were unacceptable.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

My experience with Schoenberg Family Law was deeply unsatisfactory. I was harassed relentlessly for payments, and their disrespectful behavior was distressing. Despite providing all necessary documents, I was billed $87,000 for my same-sex divorce. Their lack of effective communication and transparency made me feel completely exploited.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Debra's lack of empathy and compassion was truly appalling. She treated my divorce like a business transaction, with no regard for the emotional toll it was taking on me and my family. Her cold and detached demeanor made an already difficult situation even more painful. If you're looking for a lawyer who will truly understand and support you through your divorce, Debra is not the one.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Debra's billing practices were predatory and unethical. She nickel-and-dimed me for every little thing, including phone calls and emails that lasted mere minutes. I felt like I was being taken advantage of during an already vulnerable time in my life. The final bill was exorbitant and far exceeded the initial estimate she provided.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

My experience with Debra was nothing short of a nightmare. She was rude, unprofessional, and constantly belittled my concerns. Her communication skills were abysmal, and I often felt like I was in the dark about the progress of my case. The stress and anxiety caused by Debra's negligence far outweighed any potential benefit of her services.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Debra's incompetence and lack of knowledge in family law were truly shocking. She made several critical errors throughout my case, costing me both financially and emotionally. Her advice was often misguided and outdated, and I felt like she wasn't truly invested in achieving the best outcome for me. I deeply regret hiring Debra and would caution anyone considering her services to think twice.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Hiring Debra was the biggest mistake of my divorce. Not only did she fail to prioritize my needs and concerns, but her lack of communication and disinterest in my case made me feel like just another billable hour. I constantly had to chase her for updates and felt like I was never a priority. If you're looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about their clients and their well-being, Debra is not the one.

Hired Attorney Debra R. Schoenberg

Debra completely ignored our child's expressed wishes and preferences during the custody proceedings! She treated our child like a pawn in a legal game, with no regard for their emotional well-being or happiness.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
