TESTIMONIALS

"I recently sat on a jury in a six-week civil trial. The jury agreed on very little in the deliberations room, but there was resounding agreement when it came time to discuss Deborah’s testimony. Everyone recognized that her background and experience made her wildly qualified to guide us through the ethical considerations of the issues, and everyone agreed on how compelling we found her testimony. Our verdict favored the party on whose behalf she testified, and her testimony cemented our verdict."

~ A.R., Criminal Defense Attorney

"I am a happy client of Wolfe Legal Solutions. Deb’s involvement as my designated expert for the plaintiff in a recent legal malpractice case made all the difference in getting that case settled before trial. As a SOC expert, don’t expect her to “advocate” for anything other than the plain truth of the matter. That is her superpower."

 
~ Anton Gerschler

"She knows attorney ethics inside and out and communicates in a relatable manner"

~ K.L., Phoenix, AZ attorney

"At trial Deborah was firm in her opinions and connected well with the trier of fact."
~ DLS, San Diego attorney
"Deborah was integral in our team developing ‘out-of-the-box’ legal arguments and solutions, which ultimately led to our company prevailing."

~ L.B., San Diego attorney
