In addition to her law degree, Debra has been an advocate for helping make individual lives whole for over 28 years.

Prior to co-founding The Law Offices of Reynolds & Reynolds with her brother-in-law, Rusty Reynolds, Debra represented nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations in Texas and throughout the United States in maintaining their statutory and regulatory compliance in order for them to focus on their organization’s particular interests, which included assisting others both within their organizations and beyond.

Debra enjoys spending time with her family both locally and in her hometown in the Texas Hill Country. Around the house, Debra is often busy helping tend to their 5 dogs and 2 horses.

What Our Clients Say

Real Experience That Makes A Difference

  • “After my horrific car accident this law firm was highly recommended by a close friend. I was hesitant, but so glad I called. From the very start, I talked with Rusty personally on the phone. He and his team were personable, sympathetic, compassionate, and so attentive to my situation. I felt heard and understood. Their commitment to seek the truth and find the culprit til the very end amazed me. They used all their resources and accomplished what seemed to be impossible, especially when up against a timeline. They protected me and looked out for my best interest the whole time. Their communication was beyond my expectations. They set me at ease and walked me through all the details the entire process. I couldn’t be happier with my legal team and can’t recommend them enough! I will be forever grateful.”

     
    Melissa C.
  • “The firm as a whole impressed me with their professionalism and accessibility — whenever I called or emailed, I received a prompt and helpful response. I never once felt like my case was being set aside or put on the back burner. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for and supported, both as a client and as a person. I highly recommend Reynolds and Reynolds, and especially Chris Norris, to anyone in need of representation for a personal injury matter. They combine skill, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients — qualities that make all the difference during such a challenging time.”

     
    Peter S.
  • “Reynolds and Reynolds did a fantastic job taking care of my personal injury case. My calls were answered promptly, everything I needed to know was provided in a very timely manner. I felt like I was in very good hands, and was able to focus on rehabilitating after my accident knowing they had my rights protected. The case is resolved and settlement was quite sufficient. Thank you so much Rusty, Derek, and Gabi! I will highly recommend you.”

     
    Nancy S.
  • “This firm went above and beyond for our daughter’s accident. Gabby was absolutely amazing – very sharp attorney with compassion that really put our daughter at ease reliving the horrific events that took place. Dealing with the opposing insurance company was a nightmare, and I could not have imagined how stressful this would have been without Gabby in our corner. She not only was able to secure an agreeable settlement, but was also able to be a rock for our daughter when she needed it most. Thank you, Gabby, and all the staff that helped us through this stressful time. You guys are the best and I would recommend anyone look to you when they are in need.”

     
    James W.
  • “I came to Rusty during one of the most difficult times in my life—confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. From the very beginning, the entire team was incredibly kind, genuine, supportive, and professional. They made me feel seen, heard, and taken care of every step of the way.

    They made everything as smooth and stress-free as it could have possibly been. Finding them was truly a blessing. I would 100% recommend this amazing team to anyone needing legal help. Thank you all so much!”
     
    Ashley R.
  • “R&R took great care of our case. We had a car accident case, and Derek & Gabriela made sure everything was in place. From our initial case review to document collection & review, they made sure we had the right support.

    I would highly recommend the firm.”

    Nicole T.
  • “We want to thank Rusty and Debra as well as the staff for listening to us. The whole team is very professional in their service. Would recommend them to anyone needing a good law firm.”

     
    Peggy B.
  • “I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rusty Reynolds and his team. My case was going to be a tough one since the injury was not as visible as most. Not only did we win the case but Rusty got me more money then I thought was even possible. The communication was wonderful. They never left me in the dark it even lead me in to think I would get more then what was achievable. I will recommend anyone I know looking for help in a personal injury case straight to Rusty Reynolds at Reynolds and Reynolds. By the end of the process they felt like family. They always had my best interests in mind.”

     
    Norelia H.
  • “I recently inquired to the Law Offices of Reynolds & Reynolds regarding the possibility of suing a hospital in Dallas for negligence, resulting in the recent death of my husband.
    I specifically spoke to one of the partners, Debra Reynolds. I was impressed by Ms. Reynolds from our very first conversation. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and she came highly recommended by a friend as a great medical malpractice attorney. But most of all, I could tell right away how concerned and caring Debra was. She listened to my concerns regarding my husband’s death very intently, and she told me that her law firm would look into my husband’s case to see if there was any negligence on the part of the doctors or hospital who treated my husband, which she surely did. Out of her law firm’s own pocket, they even paid an expert witness, a cardiologist, to review my husband’s medical records. Debra kept her promises to me, for which I am extremely grateful. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Reynolds & Reynolds to anyone who thinks that they may have cause to need their services. I will certainly not hesitate to call them if I have any need for their services in the future.”
