Debra Ann Whitson - Lawyer Profile

Former district attorney, with over 2 decades of expertise focusing on matrimonial and family law. A skilled negotiator, Accredited Divorce Specialist, and collaborative divorce professional with a proven track record in assisting survivors of domestic abuse. I firmly believe that protracted legal disputes do more harm than good to families, and am dedicated to empowering individuals to make informed decisions regarding their families, rather than entrusting their future to a judicial stranger. In instances where litigation is inevitable, my goal is to inform and guide individuals to navigate the legal system with reduced expenses, fear, ambiguity, and stress. During my free time, I collaborate with Zonta International to enhance the well-being of women and girls in both local and global communities. I have a passion for travelling, playing tennis, indulging in gourmet cuisine and wine, and relishing moments with my spouse and children while engaging in the diverse outdoor pursuits offered by the Adirondack Mountains in New York where we reside.
