I went into this divorce process scared and hoping someone would just tell me everything would be…read moreeasy and work out perfectly. That's not what Debbie did, and honestly, I'm glad she didn't. She told me the hard truths right from the start. There was no sugarcoating, no false promises. She's a total straight shooter, and in a situation like this, that's exactly what I needed. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear, but it helped me make real decisions instead of living in denial. She takes the initiative without me having to chase her down or beg for updates. She's always two steps ahead, thinking about what needs to happen next. Super involved, very personal, like she actually cares about how this affects me and my life, not just another file on her desk. She got me remote court appearances when I really needed that flexibility, which made a huge difference with my schedule and stress level. And the communication? Unreal. Emails at all hours; early morning, late night, weekends. She was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging wondering what was going on. If you want someone who will fight for you, keep it real, and actually be there when you need them, she's the one. Highly recommend.

Right after I hired her, she begged me to write a good review about her because she said that her…read moreother clients wrote bad reviews about her and she was worried that she would lose her business. So I did her favor for writing a good review about her. However, later I learned that she is a full of scams. She refused to provide evidences that could end the case right there to the judge to prolong the case in order for her to gain more money. She took $30,000 within 10 months from me and didn't resolve anything. I just fired her. She claimed herself as " Children come first" however, she kept ignoring my concerns about my children"s safety and laughing. Even when I have a audio recording of my children"s father abusing my child physically and crying and calling mommy for help.... She does not care about the children at all. She only care about how she can fool people to gain more money. She is abusive, toxic, disrespectful, manipulative and twist everything. She constantly gossip about her other clients disrespectfully. I would never recommend her to anyone. I'm palling to take this to the court.

I am so thankful to Rebecca and her team. She made sure I understood my rights and addressed all…read moreof my concerns. Rebecca and her team were with me every step of the divorce and had my best interest at heart from day one. Rebecca is highly recommended!

Throughout the representation, I encountered persistent billing discrepancies and questionable…read morepractices. I was billed for attorney travel time originating from Suffolk County (my case was heard in Queens County) despite the firm's retainer and invoice explicitly designating a Forest Hills address. I was charged legal fees to reschedule and adjourn a court appearance that was necessitated solely by Ms. Dahlen's own calendar unavailability. Basic procedural matters were handled poorly, including court documents being filed under the wrong document category on NYSCEF and Ms. Dahlen demonstrating unfamiliarity with standard Family Court confidentiality rules by asking me to retrieve protected court records myself. Following the breakdown of the relationship, the firm failed to turn over billed work products (despite being paid in full) while improperly conditioning the production of case records on additional payment. Eventually, the matter proceeded to an official hearing before the court's Part 137 Fee Dispute Arbitration Program. The arbitrator reviewed the billing records, ruled in my favor, and ordered a $1,482.00 refund. Following the decision, my formal written requests for payment were met with accusations of harassment rather than professional resolution, and the awarded funds were remitted only at the very end of the statutory window. While her office staff (Stephanie and Tatiana) were polite, Ms. Dahlen herself was rude, dismissive, and unapproachable. At every stage of the matter, from questioning unearned fees to demanding compliance with the arbitrator's ruling, Ms. Dahlen deflected legitimate queries by mischaracterizing routine client communications as 'harassment' and threatened legal action to avoid accountability for her billing entries and eventual arbitration defeat. Based on my experience with billing practices, procedural shortcomings, and unprofessional communication, I would not recommend this firm.
