Comments from our clients

Hear directly from our clients about their experience with our firm:

"My experience with Deborah Gordon was exceptional. She is a phenomenal attorney for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration. She handled my case with a focus and determination, for which I will always be indebted and thankful. I can't thank Deborah, Sarah, associates and staff enough for the warmth and friendliness they showed me and for helping me achieve victory with my lawsuit."
Michele Horton, Horton v. 48th Disrict Court

"I came into this case completely uneducated on our judicial system having no legal experience whatsoever.  Deb and her staff were all more than willing to answer all of my questions.  I was very impressed with everyone's professionalism and knowledge.  After my first day of court, it was very easy walking into court with Deb as my lawyer as it was clear that everyone in the room knew she was the best and of her expertise and experience. Normally I make it a firm rule not to recommend anyone as it's not worth my reputation in case something goes wrong.  However, in this rare circumstance, I would highly recommend Deb and her staff to anyone needing quality legal representation."
Jennifer Runske, Controller

“My experience with Deb Gordon was as successful as I could have hoped. Although the experience was stressful and unpleasant, Deb and her staff were professional, responsive and more than capable. I enjoyed seeing her spar and destroy the opposition in court, in depositions and in all other contexts that I observed. She is prepared, practiced and client friendly.”
Anthony Porter, Chief Operating Officer

“Deborah and her staff were articulate, efficient and highly professional in facilitating the resolution of my case. Retaliatory acts brought against me by my previous employer had left me in a state of frustration and despair after realizing that the organization’s higher power chose to ignore my formal complaints. Deb, after reviewing my documents and complaints, was pretty positive that she could resolve my case. During the year-long process Deb and her staff kept me apprised of all happenings, obstacles and time-lines. They encouraged and kept me focused on the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The final results of my case were satisfactory to me, lifted a huge burden off my shoulders, giving me an overall feeling of justification from being wronged. I would highly recommend Deborah and her firm to anyone in need of an excellent employment attorney.”
Nancy Mendicki, previous Business/Finance Administrator

“Ms. Gordon and her entire staff were brilliant. They knew how to position the issues, when to push and when to be patient. I highly recommend them.”
Devon Cohen, Vice President, Automotive Live Deal

“Deborah took my case and prevailed when others turned it down because they couldn’t see the merit or were afraid of the opposition. I pity the defendants who have to undergo her cross-examination.”
Richard Grubola, Art Director

“I was fortunate enough to have Deb Gordon and her team fight for me during one of the lowest points in my career. They worked exceptionally hard without jeopardizing my integrity or my future career.
Pamela Thomas, Michigan Dept. of Corrections, Prison Deputy Warden/Inspector

“Deborah Gordon first represented me in 1988 because of an unjust suspension with the possibility of being terminated. Even though Deborah was a very busy and much sought after attorney, she found the time to take my case. Needless to say she was victorious for me. Although I admire everything about Deborah, the thing that touches me the most is that after all these years when I have called on other occasions she has made me feel like a special client. Always willing to help at any cost. Deborah always gives her all when it comes to fighting for justice.”
Sam Milton, Former Police Lieutenant

“It takes a lot to impress me. So you can imagine, having heard Deborah Gordon’s seminar years ago in law school, I kept her brochure thinking, ‘if I ever need a lawyer, she’ll be the one.’ Ten years went by, I found that brochure, dusted it off and called Deborah Gordon. No surprise, she not only had that special mix of commitment to me but also the fire to fight for me. Being in the medical field as a Nurse Practitioner and as a Critical Care Nurse, as well as a licensed attorney, I have seen many professionals come and go over the years. It is my impression that Deborah Gordon is one of the brightest stars in the legal ‘arena’. My advice: as I kept that brochure over the years, keep this endorsement, and be honored, not that you have chosen Deborah’s team, but that she has chosen you to represent your cause.”
Patricia Barszenski, Advanced Practiced Registered Nurse, Board Certified; Lawyer

“Prior to my experiences with DLGPLC, I contacted two law firms. With regard to the first, it was obvious they had not handled a case similar to mine. The second was prepared to make my case eligible for entry in the files of ‘famous jury trials’. Deborah handled my case with the highest level of professionalism. She knew how to present all of the facts so that they would have the utmost effect. The office staff handled appointments and numerous details in a very satisfactory manner. I would definitely give Deborah’s work on my case and her entire office a 5 star performance.”
Detroit area Regional Marketing Manager

“Deborah Gordon is an exceptional attorney who handled my case with professionalism, integrity and commitment. She investigated my claims promptly, accurately and judiciously. Justice was well served for me because I had an experienced litigator on my side. Deborah L. Gordon is an experienced attorney who takes justice seriously and practices the law meticulously.”
Melvin Richard, Registered Respiratory Therapist

“Deborah Gordon has exemplary courtroom skills. She and her staff are extremely professional and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel, especially on discrimination or civil rights.”
Cindy Politowicz, former Administrative Assistant for Environmental Affairs

“You don’t have to chase ambulances, your clients come to you. You make your clients’ problems yours in the courtroom with the utmost professionalism. Forever glad that you were part of our lives.”
Chet Politowicz (Cindy’s dad)

“I thank Deborah Gordon and her staff for the huge victory and the success with my lawsuit. Deb and her staff kept me informed with regard to my case. This was not an easy case but Deb handled it with such devotion and belief in my civil rights and that is why she won my case!”
Lisa Kesner, Corporate Flight Attendant

When I was looking for a good lawyer, Deborah Gordon’s name kept coming up. The lawyers I have talked to consider her as one of the top 3 lawyers in her area of specialty. Through my many inquiries, I found out that Deborah Gordon is a highly regarded lawyer with a distinguished career and a strong record of achievement in her area. In this regard, I hired Deborah Gordon in spite of the fact that the other lawyer firms I have previously contacted kept calling me and convincing me to hire their services. Needless to say, my decision to hire Deborah Gordon turned out to be a very wise decision on my part. Knowing that I was being represented by a very competent lawyer, with impeccable credentials, helped reduce the anxiety and worries that came with the lawsuit I initiated. As they say, results speak for themselves. The favorable outcome of my lawsuit confirmed the fact that Deborah Gordon is a lawyer of the highest caliber. Moreover, Deborah Gordon has an excellent staff. During my visits to Deborah Gordon’s office, each one of her staff was always friendly and helpful! Excellent service! I highly recommend Deborah Gordon to be on your side.
Civil Engineer III

"While working at one of the airfreight charter companies, Keyes expressed some safety concerns he had and found himself suddenly laid off. Subsequently, he was represented by Detroit attorney Debbie Gordon, daughter of a well-known local tv personality of a generation ago named Lou Gordon.

' I was very impressed with her. Her dedication to people who have been treated unfairly was and is an inspiration to me. She helped me reach a resolution of my matter and I started to think about how there are a lot of people out there who aren’t treated fairly and they need someone like Debbie.' ”

Robert Keyes, Jet Pilot and Attorney, quoted in the Washtenaw County Legal News, May 19, 2005 about his desire to go to law school
