A truly AMAZING Attorney!

From my initial consultation, I felt great ease with Seth. I needed to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I was full of questions and concerns. Seth was able to ease my fears. His knowledge and confidence in his work is terrific. I ended up starting my case with another attorney recommended by a friend bu...t soon learned that he was not the one for me. When I contacted Seth after going to the bad attorney, Seth apologized for me having to deal with him! Seth explained all I needed to do in terms I could understand. He was very flexible with meeting times and places. Seth also has very fair payment options as well. He gave me everything I needed to do with a checklist and was always available through email and phone for any questions at anytime. Seth would return emails and phone calls in less than 24 hours. He made me feel very comfortable in my uncomfortable situation. After filing and attending my hearing I received threatening phone calls. Seth was available to handle the calls and guide me. My bankruptcy has been discharged and all is well. I would recommend Seth to anyone especially my family and friends. Dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, truthful and hardworking couldn't ask for better.

Honest and Knowledgeable

Seth was fantastic. My 81 year-old-mother got into credit card debt in order to keep her house up after my father had died. She moved from CA to MD to start a new life with her daughter. Seth gave us really good advice. The lawyers in CA wouldn't talk to us because we were now in MD and the MD wouldn...'t give us the time of day because we came from CA. He has the ability to take all the pieces of the situation, even ones you don't know about or never thought of, analyze it, and distill that information to you in a way you will understand. He spoke with us at length and really understood our situation. When he didn't feel like bankruptcy was the way to go for us, he recommended another person who would be a better fit. Some times in world full of bad people there are some good angels out there. Seth is one of them.

An awesome experience, considering the circumstances!

My husband and I had been experiencing financial difficulties for quite sometime. After 3 failed attempts for a home modification and a creditor garnishment, we sought the guidance of Seth Diamond. We had LOTS of questions regarding filing for bankruptcy, how it impacts us immediately & long term, et...c. Seth was VERY knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable about the process of filing for bankruptcy. Ultimately, he understood that it was a serious financial decision & he was there to guide us through each step of the way. When we met with our mediator, he gave us detailed instructions on what to expect so that it went smoothly. He also worked tediously on our behalf to release monies that had been frozen in our bank accounts. In that process, he provided us with an adequate timeline of how the orders will be released and when the money would be returned. He also followed up with the Court/Clerk/Judge regarding the status of this item until completely resolved. My husband and I were very pleased with the service Mr. Diamond provided and highly recommend him. We have already referred a couple of our friends to leverage his services. He truly is an AWESOME TRUSTWORTHY LAWYER!

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.
