Keep an Eye out

When I Hired her I didn't expect to do so much work and chasing around. If you unfortunately decide to go with this attorney. Please beware and make sure you do the following. Keep an eye on the billing and make sure you follow up with what you ask her to do. You will have to stay constantly ...on top of her if not she will not do it. Make sure you get ccd in all emails as she will tell you the opposite of what the opposing attorney says. If I could choose 0 stars I would have. Just be aware, and make sure you stay on top of her if not all she will do is delay and keep billing. If you could deal with all of the above then I guess she might be for you.

I’m sorry to have to respond but when a “client” lies to their attorney about mental health issues, allegations of sexual abuse, theft of thousands of dollars and then has the audacity to blame the attorney, they need to be called out on it. When a “client” lies habitually there’s little anyone can do to help the individual. An attorney can only be as good as the info provided. When the story changes by the minute, you’re constantly playing defensive instead of offensive.

Fantastic Representation

Diane was a phenomenal advocator for me and did a wonderful job in obtaining custody of my 3 children. She was thorough in her discovery and even better in the court room; well worth the money. Highly recommend to anyone in a custody dispute.

Furious to say the least

I wish I could go back and hire someone else but just about everything is done. I've paid about $200,000 and didn't even get custody. I'm sick over everything. Diane is ruthless and vindictive and I'm not finalized. I cry everyday. She makes my skin crawl. I know attorneys can nickel and dime but she... is ridiculous. She won't email anything and I find out information days after everyone else and mailed to me at my expense. There's never any courtesy - not even a stamp. She has dragged this out with letter after letter not caring how my kids are suffering. The law guardian she recommended is a laughing stock.

She's a Fighter

Ms Carroll fought a difficult contested divorce for me. She got me custody of my teenaged daughter. She was tenacious and no non-sense. She was thorough and mindful of how expensive the process is. I'm so glad she was on my side

Diligent

This lawyer was always prepared and ready to argue my cause. She try to resolve the case without court but when the other side was unreasonable This lawyer was always prepared and ready to argue my cause. She kept me informed every step of the way
