Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Diamond was very patient with me and my many questions. With his vast knowledge of Bankruptcy law, he was instrumental in advocating on my behalf with a contentious creditor. He explained my options, outcomes, etc. so that I not only understood them but was confident that my concerns were address...ed and I received the best results.

Seth Diamond is an ethical, honest, knowledgable and respectful attorney

I consulted Seth Diamond to help out with a pretty scary issue where I was being sued by a creditor. I was worried I would lose everything but Seth provided valuable information and discussed all my options in great detail. Seth made me feel a lot better during the consultation.

Seth Diamond: 6 Stars!!

I came to Seth when I needed to file for bankruptcy for my business. After meeting with a number of different attorneys, I chose Seth because he was the only one who gave it to me straight, He recommended for me to file for personal bankruptcy rather than both business and personal. If we needed to f...ile for the business then we would afterward. All the others recommended both initially. It has been over 3 months now and have not heard a peep from any creditors. He could have easily made more money by recommending both bankruptcies and I would not have known any better. Thanks Seth. I trust you.

Thank you Seth!

Seth did an awesome job getting my case settled. I have a Top Secret Clearance and cannot afford to have creditors coming after me and/or reporting negatively on my credit report. I had a company stating that I owed them quite a bit of money. I tried working it out on my own explaining that I didn'...t owe them anything for various reasons.....they were relentless. I contacted Seth and explained the situation. We met and within a couple of days the issue was closed and resolved. I ended up not paying them a dime! Not only did Seth handle this case swiftly, his fees were more than fair!! He was at least $400 cheaper than the other lawyers I met with regarding this issue. I highly recommend Seth and if I am ever in need of legal support again I will definitely be going back to him!!!

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.
