About Debra Whitson

For the first half of her career, Debra Whitson was a prosecutor, and she spent the latter half specializing in Matrimonial and Family Law. She is an experienced mediator and collaborative divorce practitioner as well as a recognized expert in working with victims of domestic violence.

Debra Whitson believes that legal battles are more harmful to families than helpful, and is passionate about helping people find ways to make their own decisions for their families, rather than leaving their outcomes in the hands of a stranger in a black robe. When court is unavoidable, Debra aims to educate and support people to make the legal process less costly, scary, uncertain, and stressful. In her spare time,

Debra Whitson works with Zonta International to improve the lives of women and girls in her local community and around the globe. She loves to travel, have good food and wine, tennis, and spend time with her husband and children enjoying all of the outdoor activities available in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State where they make their home.

Debra has been practicing law for over 30 years, delivering focused solutions guided by compassion and trust. That’s why at Mediated Online Solutions, we put our passion for peaceful dispute resolution to work for couples who seek a dignified and self-directed way to separate, divorce or co-parent. That same spirit guides WhitsonLaw’s commitment to fighting for social justice and human rights by focusing our practice on domestic violence, matrimonial, and family law.

As a charter member and current board member of the Zonta Club of the Adirondacks, she have been involved in both community and global projects that aim to improve the lives of girls and women by addressing gender equality on a worldwide level.

E-commerce is changing lives, but too often the benefits don’t reach those who need them most. That’s why Debra have worked to make help accessible as an advisor for AdvisoryCloud and why she empower entrepreneurs through my virtual franchise business: life changing SKINCARE with Debra Whitson.
