She got the job done, she knew the rules and we worked together to get my divorce settled. I could not understand all that paperwork on my own. Very common sense and practical. A nice human being.

Deborah was my divorce lawyer. She was very professional. She was a good listener and always had a positive solution. She took the time to explain things. I feel lucky to have chosen her as my lawyer.

I highly recommend Ms. Gartzke as an estate attorney. I cannot say enough good things about her. I was referred to her at a very difficult time. My uncle had suddenly taken ill, and my elderly mother and I had to travel to Florida where he lived, from our homes in New Jersey, to be with him. Ms. Gartzke was very compassionate, and considerate of our circumstances. She went above and beyond to accommodate our family. At all times, she was extremely professional. When my uncle passed away, she handled all the tasks that needed to be handled, keeping us informed every step of the way, as to what to expect, and what was needed from us. She was proactive in every situation that arose. After returning home to New Jersey, we had every confidence in Ms. Gartzke’s handling of the tasks that remained. I would give Ms. Gartzke ten stars if I could. I highly recommend her, and would definitely hire her again.

I found Deborah online, and after meeting with her initially, I knew that she would be a great choice. She is very familiar with the laws and was very understanding of exactly what i was asking from her. Easy to talk to and personable, she was able to meet with me even with my busy shedule with my two children. She was always resposive by phone and email which is amazing because I have delt with attorneys before where i have paid them a lot of money, and it was very hard to get difinitive answers from them. When it came to my actual case, she worked hard for me and made sure she had all of the facts. She never backed down from my husband or his attorneys' intimidating and somehwhat bullying emails. He originally was trying to get me to settle out of court, and I almost did and she was the one that told me absolutely not. I am so glad i took her advice, because I ended up getting what i deserved in the end and then some. She is fair and just and i would recommend her and have to some of my friends. If you want a great outcome and professional experience, I would not hesitate to meet with her!

Ms Gartzke did an excellent job getting the divorce I needed. From the very beginning, she listened to what my specific circumstances were with ending my marriage. Her expert knowledge of Florida Family Law and the judges working in Collier County made it possible for me to get the divorce I wanted. Since I felt that I was being heard and understood the stress of the divorce was reduced considerably. So grateful to Ms. Gartzke's expertise.

I retained Deborah Gartzke to handle my divorce, from day one she made me feel comfortable and secure in knowing she was looking out for my best interest. She was there every step of the way to discuss my options and the best steps to take toward success. I can't say enough good things about her. Great lawyer..Great person! Someone I truly trust!

Ms. Gartzke is professional in the work she does, and very courteous to her clients and other members of the bar. She is very knowledgeable in family law, and uses this knowledge effectively and respectfully in the cases she handles. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a competent attorney needing assistance with family law.

I am hesitant to leave a review because i do not think my words can express the genuine gratitude our family holds for Deborah. Our initial meeting with Deborah was during legal proceedings to decide custody of my nephew. He was placed in our home at 13 months old after signs of domestic violence in his home. Deborah became his advocate and voice. She was compassionate and very patient with the complexity of our case. This was no ordinary case by any stretch. The opposing parties constantly harassed everyone involved including Ms Gartzke and there were many drawn out hearings and court dates. Deborah was quick to respond to our last minute calls and always had the child's best interest in mind. Keeping the child safe and us informed was at her forefront. This case set a new precedent involving non-parental custody cases. This specific custody case has seen its way to The Supreme Court of Appeals several times and Supreme Court once. Thanks to the diligent work and information gathered all attempts to hinder the process failed. Deborah's work and involvement in our case changed our life and for that we will be forever grateful. The child (our son) has grown into a fine young man and we are very proud to have been part of the process that led us down this path. Don't hesitate to contact Deborah Gartzke for any of your legal matters. It will be time well spent.
