Attorney Pelerose is extremely unprofessional and is incompetent. She does not know the nuances of family law and has a lack of technology skills. She actually resorted to name calling after losing the trial. Her lack of professionalism is unmatched. Before hiring her I would ask her for the outcome of her Nov 2020 trial. Her answer will speak volumes.

I am an attorney myself and have known Debbie Pelerose for over 20 years. She is the quintessential professional at representing people in divorce and family law cases. I would recommend her to anyone needing a domestic relations lawyer.

Debbie is amazing! I am SO happy that a family member recommended her! Do NOT try to do an on-line divorce, you will end up paying MUCH more in the long run! She is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in this field! Debbie offers great advice and brings up things that you haven't even thought of yet! She will also look out for your kids and work to do what is in their best interest! I could not be more happy and more relieved after everything is said and done! Thank you Debbie!

Ms Pelerose is a world-changer. Having now been through a litany of litigation involving over a dozen attorneys in the family law world in two states, I feel solid in having an educated opinion. Over a decade after she was my initial representation in an extremely contentious divorce, I am eternally grateful for the guidance she gave to a shattered woman trying to navigate a very foreign world. Ms Pelerose's advice to keep my kids & myself in therapy framed the decade in which I raised them post-divorce. I believe her approach to mental health was ahead of its time. There aren't enough words to praise her or her team.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Communication and Lack of Professionalism My experience with Debbie Crosby Pelerose, P.C. was incredibly frustrating from start to finish. Communication was almost nonexistent — calls and emails often went unanswered for days, sometimes weeks. When responses did come, they were brief, dismissive, and left me with more confusion than clarity. I expected compassion and professionalism from a family attorney, but what I encountered was indifference and disorganization. Important documents were delayed, deadlines were missed, and I was left feeling completely unsupported during a stressful time. If you're looking for an attorney who truly listens, communicates clearly, and handles your case with care, I would strongly recommend exploring other options before hiring this firm.

Wanted to come on here to personally thank Debbie Pelerose for her resilience and commitment to me during my custody case! She made me feel like I had voice throughout my case. I ended in a significantly better position than when I started, thanks to Debbie.

Debbie was great! I was referred to her by an attorney I knew and respected who practiced a different type of law. She didn't disappoint. She understood my goals, helped me make informed decisions and ensured things went smoothly. She came well reviewed and respected by her peers, and I found her to be a pleasure to work with. I've since referred her to multiple others. Highly recommend!

I have had the pleasure of mediating several cases with Debbie, including complex custody matters, and I have always been impressed by her professionalism, compassion, and advocacy. She approaches difficult situations with kindness and respect while still fiercely advocating for her client's interests. Her extensive experience as a Guardian ad Litem brings an invaluable perspective to custody mediations, particularly in understanding what courts and judges are likely to focus on when determining the best interests of the children. She is thoughtful, well-prepared, and solution-oriented, which helps create productive and respectful mediation sessions. She is truly an attorney I enjoy working with and highly recommend.
