She is President of the Board of Directors of the Long Term Care Community Coalition, a nonprofit policy and advocacy organization that works to protect the rights and welfare of those in long term care, and is a member of The Orion Resource Group, a community of professionals dedicated to helping the elderly thrive with dignity, respect, and a superior quality of life.

She has also received the Circle of Giving Award from the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens Long Term Care Ombudsman Program for her work on behalf of the elderly.

Deborah is admitted to practice both in New York and Connecticut, as well as the U.S. District Court in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, and previously served on the Board of Directors of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers.
