My case was no cake walk for Debra. But she remained steadfast and came through for me and my sister when we needed her. She fought hard. I can't thank her enough. God Bless!

My case was very difficult and I had so many attorneys decline my case but they would tell me to contact Ms. Speyer, so she’s very well respected with her colleagues they said she would help move things along in my case. Another review said she’s not coddling which she isn’t and that’s needed in order to get things done and keep clients on task it helped me so much. She’s very well respected with the court systems especially Phila Register of Wills and that helps when your trying to get information or get something done. She did a great job of keeping me on task and not letting me get bothered by irrelevant information especially the hatred coming from the other side, so her not allowing me to get emotional showed me she knew what I needed at the time to keep things moving along. My recommendation for anyone using her is to calm down and let her handle things it will take so much of the stress out, you know you hired the best, trust that decision. Ms. Speyer helped me so much and I appreciate her and would and will be recommending her to anyone going through a similar situation.

As executor for both my father and sister's estates, I found myself out-of-my-league in completing the numerous court documents and deadlines needed to meet the State's requirement. Additionally, I was steering this during recovery from a heart transplant. Debra was invaluable to me, working closely to complete the inheritance tax requirements, determine the disbursement of funds to their heirs and nursing me along to submit the required documents needed for closeout.
I'd hire her again in a heartbeat (no pun intended) and have recommended her to others to use her services. That, for me, is giving good advice,

I have been so stressed trying to have my mother court appointed guardian terminated since my mother was no longer in the nursing facility, and back home with me. I called and several agency and even paid for consultation and never heard back from anyone. But once I call called attorney Debra Speyer March 22,2021 I knew I was in good hands. She was very knowledgeable with the process and the people that I have been in contact with, I sent her my court papers and she said “oh this is easy I can take care of this for you”. And she was up on it that night !! she was corresponding with all parties involve. She and I was in a conference call with the administrator from the nursing facility, and they administrator said to Debra “I know you, I know you because you are the only person that I know that shows up for your clients appointments, you really care about your people” at that moment I felt some safe. I knew that I choice the right lawyer. She is the most kind spirited person I ever talk to, and she knows her stuff..Debra Speyer is an attorney who’s cares about people, who listens to your concerns, and who will fight for your family. She alleviate so much stress out of my life so that I could just focus on caring for my mother. 4 wise. later I am now my mother guardian.

Hello everyone..
My name is Henya and my family and I have been struggling with a serious dilemma for years. After consulting with many fabulous attorneys who weren’t able to “get the job done”, I finally met with Ms. Speyer in person and immediately knew that she was the right person for the job! Not only is she a well-rounded, family centered individual, she also prides herself in “strategy based” approaches that ultimately lead to a WINNING result.
Don’t be discouraged if she doesn’t initially come off as the mushiest person on the planet... I actually saw how Deb’s straight and direct demeanor worked in our favor and helped to keep my “emotional self” in check.
I highly recommend Debra Speyer for what she brings to the table... She is unlike most other attorneys I have ever met and when you finally win, you will hear in her voice just how invested (emotionally) she really was:)
Don’t take my word for it. Call her for a brief consultation and experience her for yourself! Good luck and I hope you make a WINNING CHOICE!

Dear Debra G. Speyer, Esq.,
On December 15, 2017, one of my relatives had a doctor’s appointment at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He stayed in the hospital until he expired in April 2018. His sickness and death were very traumatic experiences for my family and I. In fact, we are still grieving the loss of our dearly beloved but each day gets a little better and a little brighter.
In January, 2018, the Veteran’s Administration advised us to place him in hospice care and to set up a generic will via Staples documents. Conversely, we looked up attorneys who specialize in medical directives and estate planning. After a few weeks of searching, we agreed on selecting an attorney named Debra G. Speyer, Esq.
After “normal” business hours, we contacted you via telephone. Within 24 hours you met us at the VA hospital for a legal consultation. Immediately, we knew that you were an expert in the practice of wills, probate, and estate planning. More importantly, the interactions between you, me, and all of my relatives showed us how kind, respectful, and professional you were (and at all times).
Weeks after the death of my relative, you escorted and represented us through the probate process, taxation, etc. You also mediated conversations between myself and the VA’s fiduciary office a few times. Your strong analytical skill-set, unparalleled dedication, and highest level integrity sets you apart from other preeminent attorneys – BAR NONE!
In addition to your superior ethics, reputation, and practice habits, your entire team provided us with excellent legal services - prompt requests, thorough follow-up, and precise legal solutions. Because of this experience, I would highly recommend and refer family, friends, and all others to the FIVE-STAR offices of Debra G. Speyer Law firm.
On Thursday, September 05, 2019, we received the invoice for your services. Enclosed is the payment for the full amount. We can not express how truly appreciative we are for all of the services you rendered in our behalf. Many THANKS for everything!
With Sincere Regards,
S. J. S. T.

Debra traveled nearly an hour and a half to an unfamiliar county for our first court appearance. She was absolutely amazing. I actually got home and slept for the first time in a month. I will never forget how she helped me and my family through, probably one of the most difficult times in our lives.

Debra is a very competent attorney. She is extremely honest and trustworthy. I used her services in an estate matter. She will tell you if you have a chance of "winning" a court battle, or if it is best to settle. She was honest and said she could go to court but admitted the costs in terms of the settlement were not worth the "fight". She also let me do much of the "investigation" after securing the accounting documents. Although there was a question of maybe a few thousand dollars, she stated it was not worth questioning and to settle as soon as possible. Great Advice! It is so rare these days to find an honest attorney. You will not go wrong with this professional. She also referred me to an employment attorney who had more experience in these matters then she did.

Attorney Speyer helped my family with a dire situation regarding my now centenarian aunt. There was a greedy family member who was trying to block my aunt from getting HER OWN FUNDS THAT SHE SAVED FOR HER SUPPORT AS SHE IS DISABLED. This required aggressive action by Attorney Speyer to get a Court Order to procure the funds for my aunt's use. We are extremely grateful and Attorney Speyer's aggressive and efficient manner has saved the day for my disabled aunt. I highly recommend her for her timely and successful strategic actions.

Debra Speyer is a great attorney who really helped me. I am a law school graduate, not a practicing attorney, thus I hope all of you out there will take my recommendation seriously.
Debra was very responsive, knowledgeable and personable. She advised me regarding my being unjustly attached to a collection debt that was not mine.
Not only did Debra help me, she also helped the entire community by reporting the collection agency to the relevant state authorities for their improper behavior.
If you want a real professional who cares, hire Debra.
