About Diana
Biography
I am committed to a client centered practice that helps clients avoid a bad divorce process, and to achieve their best possible outcome through respectful negotiations. My priority is supporting you to accomplish lasting results and to move forward with your life, in a way that provides minimal disruption to you and your family. I have extensive experience in successfully resolving high asset and income cases, including complicated business structures. I have been named in Best Lawyers in America, New York's Top Lawyers, and Best Lawyers in Rochester for my work as a Collaborative Attorney. I have lectured in numerous Family Law and Collaborative trainings, and I have served on the board of the Collaborative Law Association of the Rochester Area for over 10 years. My practice is limited to Collaborative Law, Mediation, Settlement Advocacy, and Pre-Nuptial Agreements.

Robert D., client
I worked with Diana in a Collaborative Divorce. She was available, straightforward, and very helpful through a difficult and painful process. I felt that she cared about me and my children.
Diana Deyo Ryan's Lawyer Endorsements
"Diana is my partner in a firm focusing on mediation and collaborative law, and I couldn't have a more experienced, caring and knowledgeable lawyer with whom to partner. She genuinely cares about her clients and amazes me with her ability to listen, understand, and guide clients to resolutions that allow them to move forward with their lives long after the process is over. Her years of experience allow her to think outside the box with creative direction to the most tangled, difficult circumstances. Her calm and thoughtful approach is a healing balm to people going through what to many is the most difficult time of their lives. I cannot recommend Diana strongly enough."
"I strongly endorse Diana, as both a Collaborative Law Attorney and Mediator. Diana and I are currently working together on a Collaborative Divorce and I find her to be professional, respectful, sensitive and creative, all while still looking out for her client's best interests. Highly recommended."
