“Deborah isn’t just a lawyer—she’s a force of nature. Fierce, fearless, and unapologetically on your side, she knows your hard NO and will fight for your voice like it’s her own. If you want someone who turns the impossible into ‘done,’ Deborah is your lawyer.”

Debbie is fantastic! Straight to the point and is a fighter. Debbie was able to get what was owed to me before we went to court! Always nice to have a great attorney on your side that is professional.

During my divorce I had to change the lawyer. When I became the client of Ms. Kimelman I finally felt that I had an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer who cared about me and who truly represented my interests. She was always accessible, honest, and reasonable. She was transparent in guiding me. She was rational in explaining what makes sense to fight for and what is secondary and is not worth the efforts. She is personable, persistent, and wonderful to work with. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Working with Debbie was a great experience especially after working with several other lawyers. Debbie had my back and was a fighter. She is there to win, never gives up and is determined. She is available and always willing to answer. She helps make you feel confident under difficult circumstances.

Deborah S. Kimelman is an excellent attorney. Her straightforward honesty, empathy and utmost care for the best interests of my children is why I hired her over all the other attorneys I looked into. I am so thankful to have her as my counsel and recommend her to everyone in need of a great attorney.

After a disappointing experience with my first attorney, (I was 19 months into my divorce when I was referred to Debbie) finding Debbie was a blessing. At the very first meeting, she restored my confidence and gave me the support and clear direction I so badly needed. From the moment she took over my case, everything changed — she was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me move forward. Debbie immediately brought clarity, compassion and real results to a situation that had felt overwhelming and hopeless. She didn’t just handle my case — she fought for mine and my children's future and made sure my voice was finally heard. Thanks to her dedication and strategy approach, my divorce was resolved efficiently and fairly. I will always be grateful for Debbie's outstanding service and support and cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone needing a true advocate during such a difficult time.

Divorce is scary. Having Ms. Kimelman in my corner made the world of difference! Her knowledge, worldly experience, and commitment to her clients are second to none! She took the time to really listen to my needs and wants. Explained things thoroughly and always made sure I knew what my options were. She knows when to step on the gas to get things moving or pivot when things need to be pivoted. Most importantly, she is honest and has a highly level of integrity. Your case will not be decided in a back room deal or exchanging favors on a golf course! If you are looking for an attorney to navigate your journey through the trenches of family court, Ms. Kimelman is the BEST!

The work Deborah did for us was beyond our expectations. There are lawyers and then there are Lawyers that do there job right and follow thru with every expectation with out excuses. I have experienced both sides of the fence when it comes to attorneys and client attorney services. Deborah is second to none. Thank you for all your help for my families affairs.

Getting divorced is a battle however Debbie ensured I was protected, advised and fought for everything I deserved! Not just for my immediate needs but down the road. Debbie is extremely intelligent and knows the law. Debbie isn’t your typical attorney ..black suit and stuffy! Debbie will do everything in her power to ensure all decisions are in your best interest! You won’t regret hiring Debbie!
