Background

Deborah A. Rose has been practicing law since 1985 after having clerked for the Honorable Richard Rebeck, J.S.C. in Middlesex County Family Court. She primarily practices in the field of divorce, custody, and domestic violence. She is also an experienced Appellate practice attorney with numerous published decisions. She became a Certified Matrimonial Attorney in 1998.
