I hired Deb Varney to represent me during my divorce. Her professionalism, strategic and tactical approach during my case resulted in an extremely favorable outcome . Had I hired another firm I'm not confident that the end result would have come out favorable. Deb's extensive knowledge was unmatched to any other family law attorney I interviewed. Consequently, I exclusively refer her to not only my clients, but to my family and friends. Deb's nickname in her industry is the "hammer" for a reason. Her bulldog approach is unmatched. I would highly recommend Deb Varney's law firm for all your family law needs.

Deb has been my family law attorney for over 10 years. Her honesty is to be commended as well as her depth and breadth of knowledge in family law. The level of attention that she gave me, put me at ease while I was going through a difficult time in my life. She takes the time to think outside of the box for solutions. I truly appreciate how she looks out for me as a whole person and not just as another client. I would highly recommend Deb, for any family law matter.

Deb Varney has gone above and beyond expectations regarding my case, and has shown me that she is not just here to collect your money, she earns it. If you find yourself needing a family law attorney you're going to want Deb in your corner.

I’ve used Deborah Varney for two cases over the course of 8 years. She is very thorough and professional. I would recommend her highly to anyone needing a family attorney.

Deb Varney has been my attorney for over the past five years. She has helped me through an intensive, complex, custody battle for my now 13 year old son, on two separate court instances. I am a single father, and we were up against the mother and relocation back to another state. She has helped me through incredible situations regarding my son's mental and emotional health during, and in between court cases. She also helped me see my own inconsistencies, coached me through, and helped me become a better parent, which I believe comes from her prior background in family social work. Simply put, I know I would have lost my case, twice, had it not been for Deb's direction, advice, understanding, and professional experience. Deb Varney will be my attorney for the rest of my life, or for as long as she continues to practice law. My gratitude to her is unfathomable, and I view her as part of my family. Hands down, best of the best.

Deborah Varney was recommended to me by a leading Tempe law firm as a specialist in family law. I was very glad for the recommendation, and nothing in my subsequent dealings with her caused me to change my mind. My case was hardly traumatic, but it was extremely frustrating; what should have been very simply turned out to be quite complicated. The problem dated from my divorce some twenty-five years ago, during which my maiden name should have been formally returned to me as part of the decree. It was not, although I signed the decree using both my maiden and married names. Since then, I have always used my maiden name, and all my official documents are in that name, including my passport. But Social Security never recognized my reversion to my maiden name, despite repeated communications from me over the years. It was easy to ignore this situation, until I turned sixty-five, and Social Security refused to accept my enrollment in my maiden name. The process of convincing Social Security to change its records required a new birth certificate and a court appointment. The happy conclusion of this case must be attributed to Deborah Varney, who expedited the case with competence, efficiency, and good humor.

Deborah listened carefully to my story. She provided me with a check list of the documentation that I needed and a time line for the court appointment. She advised me to seek a new birth certificate, because the original was a handwritten form from a town clerk that did not contain all the information in a state-generated certificate, such as the name of the attending physician. She met me at the court room and spoke to the judge on my behalf. The entire procedure last only slightly longer than the time it took the judge to sign the decree for me to revert legally to my maiden name. Throughout the entire process, Deborah was courteous, professional, and very supportive. I hope that I never have cause to see a family lawyer again, but if I do, I would certainly seek her help.

Deb Varney saved me! I was getting a divorce after being married for 27 years and didn’t really know what to do. I first hired another law firm that did absolutely nothing. They thought it would all work out, that the judge would proclaim what was to be. I got tired of not being answered on email (their preferred way of conversing)so I ask on Nextdoor does anybody have a great divorce lawyer. Many answers came back but only one stuck in my mind he said to get a hold of Deborah Varney she is known as the hammer for a reason. I said well that’s what I need! I went and saw Deb she told me what to do to stop the other lawyer from doing anything more, using anymore money, she told me how to get some money back from him and she proceeded to get me way more than I thought I ever deserved out of this relationship. I thank her tremendously for her knowledge and her ability and her sassiness. You nay sayers on here must’ve been smoking the bad stuff.

Impatient, had a fixed mind on who she thought I was, in essence, just another woman with no direction. My daughter had a seizure just outside her office. As I spoke with her to let her know we had made it, but my daughter was in trouble, I heard her say, "UM". No help from her, didn't even step out of her office. Another person, a wonderful woman whom also worked somewhere in the building, short dark hair, buzz cut like, she was wearing a maroon dress shirt and slacks, about 5'8-5'9 immediately asked if we were ok. Clearly my daughter wasn't, she was disoriented, could barely stand, let alone walk. She helped us up from the hot cement and helped us to the elevator that we were unaware of. She stayed with us until the doors closed. We made my appointment, but the impatience and disdain was very visible. During our meeting, my daughter saw "snacks" on a book shelf, I told her no as she reached for them twice. The person we saw said it was ok. I assured her it was not, (my daughter is also autistic) I teach her daily what is ok and what is not. The persons solution was to take a chair, full of files and block her from the area. THAT IS NEVER OK FOR PERSONS ON THE SPECTRUM AND VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO ANYONE. I was quite offended, yet finished my interim meeting. Leaving with a handshake and an apology that we clearly waisted her time. I left thinking, she gave me information that was useful FOR MYSELF TO GO BACK TO THE WEB SELF HELP CENTER which I was NEVER GOING TO DO AGAIN, AFTER MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH IT, I FELT DEGRADED, LESS THAN VALUABLE, USELESS. SHE LET ME KNOW INEXPLICABLY THAT I WAS ALL WRONG, MONEY I PAID OUT WAS NULL AND VOID, THE STEPS I TOOK WERE ALL WRONG. I will never forget that feeling, NOT AN OUNCE OF COMPASSION LET ALONE COULD CARE LESS THAT ALL WE NEEDED WAS HELP AND OR GUIDANCE FROM AN ATTORNEY IN THE KNOW. I went to get help for my family, THINKING FAMILY LAW COVERED FAMILY PROBLEMS AND SHE TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T DO what I was asking and would not even look at what I brought to her. There wasn't even a resource, OTHER ATTORNEY she would recommend. I feel sorry for her and can only ask GOD to heal her heart, fill it with compassion AGAIN for families that seek her help. I have forgiven her.

Deb Varney has been my family law attorney for 10 years. I was unsatisfied with the lawyer that had been representing me in a complex divorce/custody case, and a friend recommended Deb. I knew that she was the attorney for me from our first meeting - a no-nonsense straight shooter. She listened well, took time to prepare me for hearings and processes, was always prepared in court and in our meetings, and was a tiger in the courtroom. She commanded the respect of the judge and was always two steps ahead of the opposing counsel. We prevailed in every one of our efforts in a protracted case, and Deb continues as my attorney of record for the occasional issues that arise in maintenance of the case

I highly recommend Deb Varney to anyone looking for best-in-class family law representation.

Do not recommend.
