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.

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.

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!!!

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.
