Debra Hockett- Clark
Attorney
Debra Hockett-Clark has practiced divorce and family law for nearly 30 years. She is known for her attention to detail. Debra listens to her client's needs and makes sure that they know that she is on their side to guide them through the divorce process and not make their case more difficult. She realizes that clients with children will have an ongoing relationship with their ex-spouses for years to come. Most clients want to be able to move on after the divorce and be able to interact positively with their former spouse for the benefit of their children. Debra's clients are given the new option of a Collaborative divorce, an alternative to costly, time-consuming litigation that helps couples resolve disputes respectfully without going to court.
