Deborah has represented me for several years now. She is the most professional attorney I have ever dealt with and the most dedicated to her work. She is ethical and has had excellent communication with me through all of the work she has done for me. I would very strongly recommend Deborah Rosenthal without any hesitation. She’s absolutely the best!

My Brother passed away suddenly & I was appointed Executor of his estate. Dealing w/ a complicated Last Will, acquiring Letters of testamentary, amazingly detailed estate accounting, interaction/negotiations w/ 'other' lawyers, Deborah Rosenthal handled it all so professionally, She was always available to take your calls, answered all emails promptly & always so fair in the billing . I highly recommend her .

Last year I was in the middle of a four year battle with my sister who was challenging our father's Will / Trust. Suddenly my lawyer passed away due to a tragic accident, and I needed to find new counsel. I did a search for lawyers with expertise in settling Will / Trust / Estates. I viewed several websites and when I came upon Ms Rosenthal's I knew I had struck gold. I learned of her thirty years of practice, and that her peers gave her outstanding marks, and clients gave her excellent reviews. I also learned that Deborah was past president, and current vice-president of N.Y. Women's Bar Association, and I was further impressed by her community service. I called Deborah, explained my predicament, and was relieved to hear her compassion, understanding, and optimism to reach a settlement which would honor the intention of my father's Last Will. After our first meeting, in which I gave her the four years of documents, Deborah quickly formulated a proposed settlement. The first offer she made was so powerful and convincing, that when my sister made a counter offer, the result was a 90% victory for my side, which we accepted, and the battle was over with dad's Will being fully realized without litigation, and amicably for both sides.

Having to handle my mother's Estate from Chicago it was important to find a good reliable attorney. Ms. Rosenthal came highly recommended. There was no time wasted in preparing and filing the proper paper work, resulting in a quick turn around from the State. The communication was exceptional. Her expertise made the entire process including the sale of the house painless. I am very grateful she came highly recommended and I do not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation. Thank you Deborah and Kim.

Deborah helped my sister and I with a prolonged estate settlement. There were many challenges and she navigated us through them with sensible advice and a patient and flexible approach. We highly recommend Deborah!

Have not reviewed her. I hired her and found it almost impossible to receive prompt return calls, clear strategy, and helpful direction. I will only say this...I had a major issue in her transparency regarding billing.

Deborah Gail Rosenthal was a lifesaver: literally. Ms. Rosenthal handled my mother's estate and brought it to a successful victory. Ms. Rosenthal has proven herself to be an honest, trustworthy, and indefatigable attorney whose dedication to her craft exuded in everything she did: from returning phone calls promptly to case preparation. Thank you Ms. Rosenthal, words alone could never express my heartfelt gratitude.

I live in Maine, and lost my father very unexpectedly. I needed an attorney in New York to help settle his estate, including the sale of his house. What seemed like a simple and straightforward case proved to be far more complicated than anyone could have foreseen, and as a result I worked with Deborah for well over a year. Her knowledge, experience, and responsiveness far exceeded my expectations. She provided outstanding legal support, with great sensitivity -- she never forgot that I was a daughter as well as an executor. I am so fortunate to have found Deborah, and to have had her guidance and expertise throughout a very difficult time.

Deborah's keen knowledge of real estate law was extraordinarily helpful in settling my family's estate. She is methodical, organized, and concise. She is quick to respond to any communication via telephone or e-mail. She clearly and precisely mapped out decision-making options, yet was receptive to viable professional input. Deborah is very approachable, pleasant, and patient. I highly recommend her.

Deborah is knowledgeable in all phases of Real Estate. I have had the pleasure to work with her with a mutual client. She is always available to take your calls and to get the deal done. She is no nonsense. I have extensive dealing with attorneys, as I am a real estate broker for more then 20 years, I would highly recommend her.

What started for me as a simple Real Estate transaction was thrust into a very complicated Estate issue. I wound up in the midst of a combination of five real estate, probate and trustee lawyers, who did nothing more than waste my time and resources. I needed to change my own counsel after months of stagnant litigation and no resolution to my case and was fortunate to find Deborah Rosenthal, Esq. Her comprehensive and insightful knowledge of Real Estate and Probate law enabled me to purchase my new home. I will always be grateful to Deborah and wholeheartedly recommend her legal services.

Deborah Rosenthal was instrumental in protecting my interests in a very unique Real Estate transaction. Her knowledge, assertiveness and communication skills created a very controlled atmosphere during several hectic encounters. I’m looking forward to utilizing her skills in other facets of my business.
