Diane R McNeill

My need was to modify or eliminate (if appropriate given the opposition financial situation) the alimony from my 2004 divorce. To help me select an attorney I did my research on the process and requirements for modifying alimony. I had initial consultations with 4 or 5 attorneys. What separat...ed Diane from the others was: (1) Diane talked with me and not to me. She kept the conversation at an appropriate level for a lay person. She did not attempt to overpower me with her knowledge as a powerful attorney. I felt comfortable talking with her, and that was important to me. (2) Without knowing the specifics of the case in the initial consultation, Diane presented a generalized overview of the process to modify or eliminate alimony. After agreeing to represent me we got to work immediately. Diane works quickly. When I provided detailed information and supporting documentation she would quickly get back to me with questions. This was a complicated financial case and she made sure she understood every aspect of it before submitting anything to the Court. I was genuinely impressed with her knowledge of the various financial documents. Once the discovery process started her knowledge of the Court, the process and the involved parties (Judge, Mediator, Defendant Attorney, etc) really came through. She was consistently anticipating future actions of all involved parties and made sure we were prepared. During the meetings with the Mediator we were quickly able to answer every question. It was during those meetings when I realized I could not have chosen a better attorney. While the Mediator did a great job controlling every meeting, I was impressed how at every opportunity Diane kept pushing for the ultimate outcome I wanted. She stood her ground on every issue, even pointing out to the opposition how the outcome I wanted was advantageous to them and why they should accept it. Post Mediator or Court meetings Diane supplied requested information to the Mediator or Court within 24 hours. She acts quickly. At the conclusion of the entire process it turns out everything Diane first told me about the process was on target, even the predicted outcome. She took what could have been a complicated financial case and turned it into something simple that all parties could understand. For alimony modification I wholeheartedly recommend Diane McNeill. Having observed her knowledge, ability and work ethic I am confident in recommending Diane in all areas of her practice. Well done and thank you Diane.

I've dealt with lawyers before and it has been not a good pleasant experience, but dealing with Diane was the most wonderful experience ever. She's very knowledgable, and treats her clients with a lot of respect. I highly recommend her for your family legal matters, you won't be disappointed. Thanks ...to Diane my child support case was lowered tremendously. Thank you Diane for everything you did and for continuing to answer all my questions.

Let's face it, getting divorced is the awful. Getting divorced when kids are involved is even worse. Diane McNeill did everything she could to keep me informed, she helped me make decisions and most importantly, she kept me grounded. She is so down to earth and easy to talk to. Any time I was a ...little more scared than normal or wanted to back down, she would let me vent to her and then explain my options. My ex wanted more and more custody time with our son, she made me understand the ways we could make it work without my losing important bonding time with him, There is a distance and driving issue with my ex, Diane also helped me work it out so that I don't have to do the driving. All in all, she was always responsive to any emails, calls that came from me or the other lawyer involved. I couldn't have made it through what was probably the worst 7 months of my life without her. Thank you Diane!
