    Owner & Attorney

    Deanna DeCosimo is an experienced attorney and founder of DeCosimo Law. Deanna has earned a reputation for providing her clients with personalized, compassionate, and effective legal representation.

    At DeCosimo Law, we believe in a heart-centered approach to the practice of law. This means that we prioritize empathy, compassion, and understanding in all of our client interactions. We understand that legal issues can be incredibly stressful and emotional, and we strive to make our clients feel heard, supported, and cared for throughout the entire legal process.

    Deanna's dedication to a heart-centered approach extends far beyond the realm of law. It is a fundamental part of who she is as a person, driving her involvement in the local community and her deep love for animals.

    Acknowledging the value of community service, Deanna has previously dedicated her time to volunteering at Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Temecula. While her current commitments prevent her from continuing her volunteer work at the moment, she remains passionate about contributing to the welfare of animals. Deanna looks forward to the possibility of resuming her volunteering activities at Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary in the future when her schedule allows. Understanding the transformative effect of compassion and kindness on all beings, she remains committed to making a positive impact in the lives of animals in need.

    Beyond her involvement with animals, Deanna is an active member of various professional organizations that promote social responsibility and community engagement. By actively participating in these organizations, she stays connected to her community and remains at the forefront of legal and social issues that impact people from all walks of life.
