So Grateful My Friend Referred Me

Working with Diana and Amy to draft and sign a Living Will, Will, and POA was as smooth as I could imagine. They were kind and direct in answering questions I had & gave me ample space and support to think through what can be very emotional and complex topics and decisions. If ever I need legal serv...ices again, they will be the first people I contact.

Christopher Marlborough

Family lawyer | Apr 28

Relationship: Friend

"Diana is an incredibly inspiring attorney who set out twenty years to change the landscape of family law for blended families, LGTBQ+ folks, people in polyamorous relationships, and everyone else who does not fit in the box. She continues to succeed in that effort through her practice and legislative advocacy. Just this month, her advocacy led to the passage of the Affirm Act in the New York City Council, to protect transgender people against government discrimination."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
