Deborah is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Seventh and Fourth Circuits, and multiple federal district courts. She holds a B.A. from Stanford University and a J.D. from DePaul University College of Law.
