Law Office of Deana Balahtsis

Deana is a rare blend of qualities: wicked smart, relentlessly hard-working, deeply empathetic, and fiercely honest. This makes her a kick-ass lawyer who will always have your back, know your case like the back of her hand, and advise you with your best interests at heart. I recommend her 1000%, especially if you have a complicated case that demands brute-force intelligence and a profound understanding of family law. She is highly adaptable, quickly assessing your needs and outsourcing any specialized knowledge required to strengthen your case. Her relentlessness is remarkable—bordering on superhuman—as is her ability to retain and synthesize every detail concerning your situation. You can rest assured that the smartest and most articulate person in the courtroom will be fiercely advocating for you. Beyond her intellect and work ethic, Deana is grounded, with a strong sense of judgment and a warm demeanor. That being said, she is direct and does not sugarcoat the truth—an invaluable trait in legal matters. As a mother of three herself, she deeply understands the challenges of juggling a high-stakes career and parenthood. If you need a lawyer who is both brilliant and deeply committed, look no further.

Unethical billing practices (15 minute increments is not the standard), no transparency regarding email correspondence or professionalism. Failed to provide updates or respond in timely manner, and I didn't know until later that she committed a major error in my case which is costing thousands of dollars and counting to rectify. And it may still not be salvageable.

Deana has offered me practical and objective guidance as I've dealt with visitation and support issues spanning several years. I have never been in doubt that she would advocate for what was in the best interests of my family. She's empathetic, strategic, and a very capable family lawyer!

Deana is an exceptional attorney with an unmatched sense of determination of devotion to her clients. She not only provided me with invaluable guidance and support during a complicated legal situation, she made the entire process as smooth as it could possibly be. Deana's high attention to detail and comprehensive knowledge of the law are what allowed me to achieve the desired outcome of my case, and I am eternally grateful to have had her on my side during my time of need.

Deana worked expeditiously and in a very thoughtful manner to handle my family court matter due to a substantial loss of income. Deana and her team made the process easier from start to finish, and although my case was small in comparison to other bigger cases, Deana spent the quality time to get it done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Deana for her professionalism. I am more than happy with what was accomplished and would definitely "drop her name" to anybody for her no nonsense attitude and getting results.
